Small Town Chatter
Bent Hill Brewery

 

Pours hazy light orange, effervescent light head that settles out to a thick ring, light lacing. Nose is nicely balanced - light pine, light citrus and tropical fruit, light dank; mildly mentholated as well. Taste has some prickly hop burn up front that eases out into moderate fruit sweetness (mango) and floral notes. Pine and resin as well, followed by light grain notes on the finish. Carbonation is prickly, keeping the mouthfeel on the thin side. Overall, this was very well done, though it does represent more of "light" NEIPA than what I'd expect (and desire) out of an APA.
