For the first in our series of NyePA’s, The Brewers of Nye Hill Farm chose six varieties of hops. While we love the bitterness of a hopped up Pale Ale, we wanted a beer everyone could enjoy, something not overly bitter. By adding hops late in the boil, we’ve brewed just that, an easy to drink pale ale. A beer for you, for your Old Gent, and for anyone else whose company you keep.

Sampled at the NH Brewers Fest 7/25/2015
Hazy pale golden color. Astringent grassy muddled hop aroma and flavor with a sharp toffee caramel maltiness. One of very few dumps today.
I got a chance to re sample this today 6/25/2017
Lots of citrus with a bready caramel malt backbone. Light astringency in the finish. Either the recipe or the process has changed because this is a pretty good pale ale and nothing like the first time I sampled it.

Purchased at the Monadnock CO op. $6.99 bomber.
A very active golden copper color. Complete with a 2" dense foam cap. Looks very healthy.
Sweet honey and bready malt aroma with a nice blend of herbal and sweet fruity hops. Caramel and red berries are obvious undertones.
Flavor has a wonderful complexity of spicey, herbal and sweet hops, coupled with an earthy, rustic tinge that finishes with a nice bitter bite, although subtle, the hops end earthy and grainy.
The malty and hop flavors have a brilliant balance, complex and deep but soo damn easy to drink. A session you must ponder. This brew comes across as an English-style approach with similar English malty flavors and a similar balance. The 6 hop variaties are by no means extreme, very subtle, actually but really effective. Not "in your face", more reserved, but with class and purpose.

From a 22oz. bomber, undated. Served in a tulip.
Pours a cloudy copper-apricot-fox color with a loose two-finger head of foam. Pretty good retention is followed by a few sloppy gobs of lacing which last to the bottom of the glass.
Very faint nose, smells of mash, ash, honey and dried grass - pleasant enough but I probably wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't been working so hard at it.
Taste is clean roasted malt and tobacco upfront, herbs and aspirin, followed by a lingering, old-fashioned grassy hop bitterness.
Feel is light-to-medium bodied, dry and well carbonated, crisp and refreshing.
Overall, a well-brewed, simple, honest, easy drinking beer. Locals might be reminded of a McNeills, but with a cleaner, crisper mouthfeel. A decent value at $6.99 for 22oz.
This is a hard beer to rate... there's nothing here that's exceptional or superlative but, fact is, it's a really satisfying beer to just sit and enjoy. I'm probably going to pick up a few bottles any time I see it.
