New Growth Pale Ale celebrates the return of locally crafted beer brewed with regionally harvested ingredients. Driftwood Brewery and Sartori Cedar Ranch have combined their savvy to craft a decidedly British Columbian pale ale. Sartori’s Centennial and Newport hops shine through in this refreshing session ale. Cheers!

This beer is NOT retired, it is one of their core beers and available in many places (wish more Pubs had it). A lower ABV version of Fat Tug so well worth trying. https://driftwoodbeer.ca/beers/new-growth-pale-ale/.

650ml bottle poured into Sam Adams pint glass.
Pours a slightly hazy golden yellow with two fingers of loose fluffy off-white head that leaves monstrous tentacle and eyeball lace as it recedes.
Smells of mild rising bread, juicy orange and lemon, pine needles and bitter green hops.
Tastes of sappy pine, more doughy caramel malt, citrus rind and more resiny hops.
Feels perky and fizzy. Medium-light bodied with active carbonation. Finishes dry.
Verdict: Recommended. Intense and refreshing.

This beer is popping with aroma of citrus and pine, but i did not enjoy it at all. The flavors do not meld well on the palate and overall i was very disappointed
