Murky hay color, three fingers white bubbles of varying size, spotty curtaining, full cap
Grapefruit, pine, hay aromas
Slight hop bite, and sweetness with citrus and light pine flavors
Medium mouthfeel, plentious carbonation, full hop flavors out of this low ABV brew

I thought I reviewed this in the past, since I've had it several times. Nice, low-alcohol beer with a full flavor. Flavor changes slightly from first taste to after taste.

Poured from a growler filled at the brewery today.
Look is a cloudy yellow gold with a thick white head.
Smells great, lots of big fresh hops. Grapefruit rind, tropical, dank hop resin.
Taste is more of the same pungent hop character, with a grainy malt base.
Feels pretty good, smooth dry malt and lively carbonation and bitterness. The back end leaves a moderately clinging bitter finish, like grapefruit rind and hop oils.
Overall a nice pale ale, great flavors and a good bite. Glad I could get it so fresh! Happy to have it from the growler tap, would love to see it in cans someday...

Fantastic APA that sets an extremely high standard for the style. The exclusive use of Galaxy works brilliantly here – every delicious nuance, including a distinct note of bubblegum/taffy, is clear. The palate is expansive and full of citrusy flavor, leading to a pristine, slightly minty finish. The more I drink from this brewery, the more convinced I am that it's one of the absolute best, not only in Connecticut, but in New England. [on tap at brewery]

On tap at the brewery in a Willi Becher.
Golden, active carbonation, foamy white head.
Aroma is full of galaxy, earthy, resinous, a bit herbal, grassy with some fresh tropical fruit and citrus zest.
Clean and crisp flavor, light, refreshing, easy going brew. Citrus zest, herbal, resinous earth, some pine and a light doughy malt in the background.
Moderate carbonation and lighter than medium body.
Nice brew, good flavor at approachable ABV.
