Our signature American pale ale balances light, crisp, malt character with an abundance of hop-derived aromatics and flavors from the use of Citra and Columbus. The fragrant nose is fresh citrus, tropical fruit, and peach. Bold flavors of pineapple and mango mix with dank notes of zesty citrus and fresh pine needles. With the smooth mouthfeel, gentle bitterness, and dry finish, Fort Point is our standard daily-drinker.

Appearance - The beer was hazy yellow with an orange tint.
Smell - Orange hops led the nose with popsicle stick dryness.
Taste - The profile was dense. It had a light orange profile with modest bitterness. The sweetness disappeared by the finish, leaving a dry impression.
Mouthfeel - With the carbonation and body, the beer was almost fluffy.
Overall - High quality, but boring by today’s beer community standards.

Can’t believe I never rated/reviewed this on here. An excellent NE style pale ale - one of the first ones I had and still one of my favorites. Easy drinking for the style, nice aroma and flavorful. Worth drinking.

Pale gold hues, long lasting fluffy head and lacing. Aromas are piney and dank first, then notes of citrus (pineapple) and tropical (mango). The fruitiness is stronger on the taste than on the nose with a slight tang and a piney dank undercurrent. Light to medium bodied, slightly mouth watering finish, and alcohol is extremely subtle. An excellent example of the style.
