CAPTAIN LAWRENCE FRESHCHESTER PALE ALE 11/3/15

Yet another selection from the mixed sixpack I composed on a recent trip to NY state. Captain Lawrence products are not distributed in my state.

Poured from the 12 oz. bottle into a Lawson's stemmed tulip.

a: Clear copper with a finger and a half thick offwhite head which receded to mainly thin surface foam and patchy lacing.

s: Alcohol with a few light fruit notes

t; Biscuit malt under slight plum notes, light to moderate hop bite balances the dry finish.

m; Light to medium, ok body, heavy carbonation tingle.

o; An easy drinking pale ale. More a dinner beer than a sipper.

12oz bottle bottled 9/27/22 into a pint glass.
L: Pours almost clear light med amber w a 1/4" eggshell white head that goes quickly to a thick skin, well carb'd, skeletal lacing.
S: Biscuit malts, caramel, toasted cereal grains, fruity, figs, dates, berries, orange marmalade, a light hint of honey.
T: Taste follows aroma with enhanced toastiness of maltings, full flavored, affably bright citrus zest, apricot, orange, malty aftertaste w a leafy & earthy resinous finish.
F: Poofy & soft, smooth & lightly creamy med-body w a fast, slightly dry finish. Softens over time.
O: Fairly malty, fruity citrus hop structure that allows this savory & succulent American Pale Ale have volume. It is outstanding in its style and is underrated.

Great tasting pale ale. Dark golden malty color with smooth hoppy smell and taste. At 5.5 abv it’s very crushable. Bottled from Total in Norwalk CT.
