Pud Pale Ale
Fonta Flora Brewery

Pours golden, slightly hazy, minimal head. Aroma is faint and distinctly citrusy. Light, crisp and refreshing with a nice dry hop addition that evokes lemon, grapefruit, slight pineapple. Good carbonation. Overall a very pleasant beer.

A: Pours a lightly hazy medium golden honey in color with moderate amounts of active visible carbonation rising quickly along the edges of the glass and moderate medium golden yellow + bright yellow colored highlights. The beer has a two finger tall dense sudsy foamy white head that reduces to a large patch of slightly mottled thin film covering the entire surface of the beer and a thin ring at the edges of the glass. Moderate amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Slightly stronger than moderate aromas of slightly juicy tropical/passionfruit, tropical/pineapple, citrus/grapefruit, and tropical/melon hops over the top of light to moderate aromas of toasted + bready + caramel malts with a hint of caramel sweetness.

T: Upfront there are light to moderate flavors of toasted + bready + caramel malts with a hint of caramel sweetness. That is followed by slightly stronger than moderate flavors of juicy tropical/passionfruit, tropical/pineapple, citrus/grapefruit, and tropical/melon hops as well as light herbal hops which impart a light amount of lingering bitterness.

M: Light to medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Crisp initially with a smooth mid-body and hints of dryness in the finish.

O: Easy to drink with well hidden alcohol and refreshing - kind of a perfect late Spring/early Summer beer for here in NC. Very enjoyable and a very solid example of the style. Definitely one that I will be grabbing again when I see it.

CANNED ON 4/6/18

Hazy orange gold with a soapy head that sticks in a bubbly collar. Fragrant citrus, herbs, and faint nutty malts in the nose. Flowers, melon candy, bergamot, and oatmeal. Easy going hoppy flavor...peach, El Dorado melon, apricot, pineapple, grapefruit, and green grassy herbs. Medium-light bodied, floaty feel that finishes super crisp. Very nice.
