Napkins is a throwback to a time before our tasting room, before canning our beer; when to get a pint of our IPA one had to go to a bar or restaurant in Connecticut. Some of those IPAs we continue to make, sell at our tasting room and distribute around the State in cans and draft. Others were put on the back burner… until now! Our favorite bartender interaction beer is back. El Dorado, Simcoe and Amarillo for plenty of resinous, mango and tropical fruit over a base of Connecticut grown and malted grains. Get out and ask your favorite bartender for some Napkins.

On tap at local bar. First beer I've had from these guys and this was nice. Very clean, tons of tropical fruit and citrus. Good color and carbonation.

On tap at Tap and Mallet in Rochester, NY.
This one pours a bright hazy yellow, with a small head, and a bit of lacing.
This smells like hay and straw and grassines- it's a very herbal thing going on in the aroma, with some lemon, grapefruit rind, and mango.
This has a really interesting and herbal bitterness to it, it dominates any fruity hop flavors, but they're still there- kind of light lemony, with grapefruit rind, and maybe very light tangerie and mango, possibly.
This is light bodied, and very crisp, with a good level of carbonation.
This is excellent, and a very unique take on the NE-style IPA.

A: Poured from the growler into a Duvel tulip. Body is hazy lemony yellow with a small white head on top.
S: Good IPA nose - lemon & lemon peel with a touch of straw or hay. Hint of grapefruit as well.
T: First impression: it's "clean." Light crackery malt or straw foundation is followed by modest citrus, primarily lemon but with some grapefruit peel. Finishes clean, though with a bit of bitterness in the aftertaste.
M: On the lighter side of medium in heft. Carbonation is modest.
O: Good. Looks, drinks (and to some degree, tastes) like a Session IPA - though with the ABV at 7.2%, if you down a few of these like you would a Session IPA, there may be trouble.

Tap pour into tulip glass. Minimal head, no lacing. Nice overall flavor and and feel but it was not very carbonated and had a distinct light diacetyl lightly buttered popcorn aroma and flavor. Not sure if this was intentional or if the beer I had was a touch off. I would try again

The beer is a solid IPA that is slightly tart with a light bodied feel. I love my New England style IPAs but this was a nice change of pace. I'm hit or miss with Kent's IPAs but this one hit the mark, would like to drink more of it!
