Holiday Party
Stony Creek Brewery

 

Poured into a 16 oz Nordic pint glass not sure when it was canned. Pours a cloudy orange yellow with a tiny little head that after the first sip leaves nice thin webs of lace, not much retention but that most likely is because of my pour. 4

Aroma is peach, mango, pine, apricot, and grapefruit rind. 3.5

Taste follows mango, peach, apricot dominate, with a little pine and grapefruit in rather balanced finish. 3.75

Mouthfeel is medium, not dry or sticky, gentle carbonation, and at 7% ABV it goes down very easy. 4

Overall probably wouldn’t get it again, but still a nice brew. Missing any wow factor for me, but worth a visit. 3.75

1/25/20...pours hazy cloudy copper, thick, and a fancy 1/4 inch lid. Juicy nose, fruity. Aromatic. Citrus malt blend, quite buttery. Can taste the resins and oils. Loads of flavor. Solid

 

Poured from pint can into IPA style glass. Cloudy amber colored body with light caramel head, two fingers deep, with some lacing. Aroma is mildly citrusy. First sip is a pleasing blend of citrus, pine and mild hops bitterness. A good NE IPA.

A: murky; deep gold in color; 1 finger ivory head that receded to a thick collar; very nice lacing;

S: musty with pineapple in the background;

T: follows the nose, but more balanced; moderate bitterness at the end;

M: medium bodied; moderate carbonation; moderately dry finish;

O: not a flavor/aroma that works for me;
