South Dennis Table Beer
Devil's Purse Brewing Co.

 

Can. Honestly love the idea of making a table beer specific to a region. This is a pretty mellow little hoppy offering. Has a bit of a watered down margarita flavor. Drinkable and a pretty neat marketing angle.

Canned 6/12/20
Pours a med fizzy 1 finger head with med retention, semi hazy light pale color

Nose brings nice fresh floral hops, a little noble-like and grassy, fair citrus notes, a bit of lime zest and generic citrus, a touch of grainy malt

Taste brings light grainy malt, with more fresh hop characters, light hops overall through, a little bitterness, general floral and mild grassy hops, fair citrus as well with some fresh lime juice, generic citrus zest, drier almost gritty finish

Mouth is med to lighter bod, med lighter fizzy carb

Overall pretty good beer, nothing special, easy drinking summer beer, some lime juice in there, wish it was a bit more, but still decent beer

Canned 5/6/19

Pours a light, cloudy gold with about 2 fingers of soapy white head that fades to a cap

Typical APA in aroma, light piney hops, citrus notes like orange and lime, a bit floral

Yeah that lime is evident in the taste for sure. Light hops backed by solid malt, perhaps flaked oats. The lime is persistent throughout, but not as much as I hoped

Medium bodied with moderate carbonation, finishes smooth but a bit sticky

Not bad overall but I wouldn’t revisit it

A- Tallboy poured into a pint glass. The body of the beer has a cloudy pale golden hue and a thick and foamy two finger head. The white fluff has good retention and lacing is formed with a few webs and then some sheets.

S- Lime up front with a bit of citrus zest and hints of tartness. Citrus, fruity, dank and floral hops round it out with hints of bread and crackery grains. Interesting dynamic between the lime and the hops. In retrospect it is interesting how vibrant the lime feels here compared to the nose.

T- Things shift quite a bit compared to the aroma and overall the flavor comes off as watered down hoppy with a hint of lime and base grains. The depth just isn't there compared to the aroma. Slight bit of lime zest leads into tropical and citrus hop hints. Pale barley as the base. A nice hint of mango, melon and pineapple but very subtle all around. Reminds me of a citrus mango popsicle.

MF- Doesn't feel watered down like the flavor but still feels a bit thin. The texture saves it with a silky creamy feeling and the carbonation is very high. I understand this is a session ale but I have had plenty of sub 4% beers with heftier texture and a more intense flavor profile.

A good use of lime to compliment subtle tropical, citrus and dank hops. Definitely takes on the session title in both the flavor and the mouthfeel but a good refresher with an interesting take on a pale ale.
