Our Hoppy Session IPA is a tribute to the Wampanoag’s mythical Pukwudgie. With bright notes of passionfruit, mango and citrus interwoven with refreshing bitters and light pine our Puk is a supernaturally well-balanced session ale that asks for nothing more than a good sense of humor.

Not a bad American pale ale. I’d drink it again if someone handed me one but nothing I’d go out of my way to find.

P-Poured from a 16 oz can,into a Funky Buddha snifter.Canned on 03/27/17.
L- Soapy white colored head that stands one finger width tall,with very good retention and fragmented lacing.Slightly hazy gold colored body with moderate clarity,and distorted light showing through the glass.Very high amount of carbonation.
S- On the nose I get mostly citra hops balanced by a nice presence or caramel malt notes.Slight bready characteristics as well.
T- The palate follows the nose with Citra hops up front,caramel malt in the middle,and a bready yeast aftertaste.
F- The mouth feel is thin and prickly,with a dry finish.
O- This is a pretty standard APA.Nothing too fancy,but still a drinkable Pale Ale.I would drink it again,and if you like APA's I would recommend giving it a try.
