A hazy ipa that is dry hop forward to the point of sacrificing some citrus. There is pineapple, orange, and mango, but they are nothing compared to the dry hopped simcoe and the grainy base beer. Wish it would commit more to hops and less haze or more fruit haze and less yeast. Nothing to have again

Had it in a 12-ounce bottle at home. It pours an opaque and murky grayish yellow colors with a creamy white head. It visually looks more like an unfiltered wheat beer than an APA. It has a definite citrus undertone with modest hoppy bitterness. I enjoyed the taste - different than the standard APAs that I'm accustomed to.

 

 

12oz bottle, thanks to my friend, Ken, for giving me a bottle to try. Pours an opaque & murky gray-yellow with a creamy white head that laces the glass. Big juicy aroma with hints of pineapple, mandarin orange pith, and lemon-lime. Modest bitterness with hop flavors accentuated, which renders notes of pineapple-orange juice, mango, and lime. Creamy and smooth medium body, juicy and sweeter finish. Overall, I'm surprised Simcoe hops produce these flavors in this pale ale. Flavors are pretty good, but I like a more classic style American Pale Ale, whereas this is on the New England spectrum of pales.

 

Tasted in a tumbler from draft at the Mikerphone Brewing tap room on April 6, 2018. Double dry-hopped with Simcoe hops. Its decent, but I most likely would not seek it out again.

 

 

 

Smells like Culligan-treated tap water. Taste follows aroma. Disappointing.
