A small beer that’s big on character. This little guy has floral aromas, citrus flavors, and a lasting mouthfeel.

A light tasty "session" ale - a thoroughly enjoyable coiffer.

Appearance: Pours cloudy and honey colored with a frothy head that fades rather quickly; a strand or two of lacing hangs around
Smell: Grapefruit pith verging on pine
Taste: Very pithy, up front, with a grapefruit character; piney, through the middle, with a dry finish
Mouthfeel: Light to medium body with moderate to high carbonation
Overall: A little different from the typical juicy and tropical fruit character present in most NE IPAs; enjoyable
Thanks, Nichols33, for the opportunity

16oz can into a tulip.
Modest pour yields a thick and hazed, washed orange colored brew with a 1-plus F white froth, quick fading. Mostly spot and wisp lacing trail lightly on the glass.
Bold floral and evergreen hop aromas with some light citrus, too. It has a clean outdoors-y aroma.
Citrus hop, lemon and a touch of grapefruit and light malts.
Feel is crisp and generously carbonated. Body is light and drink friendly. Bitter with a clean dry finish.
Better than a session IPA. The can was marker 35 IBU / 4.5% abv.

This one pours list most of Frost's hoppy beers- thick and turbid looking, with a small tight head, and a good amount of lacing.
This smells like pine and spruce, with lots of candied sweet grapefruit, orange zest, and mango.
This has a surprising amount of flavor for the low ABV- it's got a nice zesty bitterness, fresh and clean, with a good blast of citrus- the fruits up above, mainly. There's no malt character.
This has a wonderful level of drinkability, and it's well carbonated, with a soft mouthfeel.
I continue to be very impressed by Frost- slowly becoming one of my favorite NE breweries.
