Growler brought back from the brewery over the weekend.
A- 32oz growler poured to a pint glass with a slightly hazy golden-light amber body. A nice creamy white head forms to a few fingers high and retains pretty well. Cap falls to a nice bubbly ring eventually leaving small spotty lace.
S- A blast of hop aroma as we open the growler and pour it. Dank hops lend big notes of citrus rind, oranges, mango and some floral hints. Just a slight bit of sweetness and light caramel behind that.
T- Follows the nose with a great hop forward feel but not over the top. Nice flavors of mango, dankness, lemon peel, oranges, slight pine and floral from those hops. A nice sweetness goes along with the hops which isn't always good but works here. Some yeast bread, caramel and alcohol as well.
MF- Moderately carbonated with a silky, smooth feel. Body itself is somewhere between light and medium but works out with the fresh hop flavor. Clean bitterness and some alcohol warmth.
Really fresh feel and some great hop flavors going on. The three Fiddlehead brews I tried were very nice, this one is no exception. Hope to see more from them in the future.

A: Pours a hazy yellow-orange color with 2 fingers of head that fades down to a thin cap
S: Lots of citrus and dank hop notes along with some lighter pine and tropical notes
T: Follows the nose. Starts off with the citrus and some stone fruit and then picks up some dank notes and lighter pine. Moderately bitter. Finishes with lingering citrus
M: Medium bodied with moderate carbonation
O: A very good DIPA with good drinkability. Fairly typical New England style. Recommended

Fresh at the source in a teku. So crisp, fantastic combo of citrus + creaminess + sweet crackery taste with a beautiful bite and just-right aftertaste. Pairs perfectly with spicy foods imo and is easily one of Fiddlehead’s absolute best offerings.

Semi cloudy yellow/orange,1 finger of white head that dissipates quickly, solid lacing in Pilsner glass. Lots of tiny bubbles rise to the surface.
Aroma is citrusy and woody, pleasant though not overly complex.
Taste improves over the aroma, a nice showcase for the Columbus hop with a clean, crisp taste, slightly crackery in the finish.The 8.8% is exceptionally well hidden, some slight warming noted.
Mouthfeel is heavy medium, oily and a bit creamy. This is an easy drinking IIPA that is just one of many great Fiddlehead offerings.
