On tap at Brew Gentlemen in Braddock, PA.

This one pours a pale light orange, very hazy, with a small head, and lots of lacing.

This smells less boldly citrusy than CPA. There's a bit more dank marijuana like thing, a little bit of pine, but still lots of citrus on the nose. Smells great.

This is another banger from the Brew Gents. There's soft citrus, a nice assertive bitterness, and just a hint of bready malt on the finish. This seems pretty similar to CPA, but less citrusy- maybe there's no Citra in this one?

This is light bodied, crisp, and super, super drinkable. It's got a normal level of carbonation.

Brew Gentlemen is making some of the best hoppy beers in the Northeast. Getcha some.

 

Growler into an oversized snifter appears a chalky grayish pale orange color with white cap that fades leaving a curtain of lace. This brew looks to be more yeast than beer...guess they are going for that turbid milkshake NE hop theme with this.

Aroma is not bad, citrus fruity hoppiness with hints of mint, herbs and pine.

Taste carries over some of that lemon/pine fruity hop aspect but with a little bit of a soapy thing also present mid-palate. This is pretty yeast/trub filled but it does not display any off-character or vegetal taste.

Medium in body with modest carbonation. This has a bit more creamy feel than im use to for a pale ale but i believe that is largely due to the trub filled/unfiltered growler I got. Regardless this is pretty decent stuff.

 

 

Bought a 750-mL bottle at the brewery while in town and brought it back to drink two days later.

Pours a beautiful, hazy yellow with a sizable white head.
Smells strongly of tropical fruits, with some hints of green onion. Taste follows suit with the tropical nose with heavy citrus notes, some interesting but very subtle notes of earthy hop flavor as well. Pleasing amount of bitterness. Pretty excellent mix between hoppy bitterness and subtlety of classic pale ales, and the NE-style citrus bombs.

 

Pours a hazed golden color with white head and lacing. Aroma was dank and tropical. Flavor had tropical melon notes with some grapefruit citrus going on. Very much NE styled IPA. Full bodied, residual hop resin finish.
