Another new local brewery, my first from them. Canned 7/27/17, little old but let's see
Pours a huge creamy fluffy head that hits a finger as fades semi slowly, little foamy lacing, super hazy sediment laden pale grapefruit color
Nose some hops not huge, fruity with little tropical dankness, papaya, mango, tangerine, tons of creamy wheat, orange cream citrus,
Taste brings more citrus, tangerine, orange cream, little mango sorbet, papaya, generic fruity almost fruit punch bubblegum, creamy wheat little toasted grain, soft. Finishes a touch more bitterness, more orange rind and tropical notes lingering
Mouth is med bod, a little soft and creamy, decent carb
Overall pretty nice take on NEIPA pale ale version, nice wheat and creamy soft, nice hop profile, enjoyable, I'll have to get more from these guys

Really great session pale ale. I live in the North Shore (MA) and these guys from Beverly really know what they are doing. Had this in a Notch Brewing pint glass, poured from a 16 oz can (canned on 7/27)
L - Little Misery has a golden haze to it, finger width of head, really a good looking pale ale
S - This is dry hopped with Simcoe, so I really get some strong hints of tropical notes, to me I don't really get hit with anything piney, just more of a smooth smell
T - Wow, for 4.5% abv this really bursts with flavor. Nice well balanced PA. The hops it you upfront but stay with you. Love this beer
F - light-to-medium body, well done
O - they really did a great job with this PA. Old Planters recently has been expanding their distribution to not only the North Shore, but now all of MA and I think some New England States. IF your in the area I highly suggest picking up a 4 pk of Little Misery, or try their Crop Rotation IPA or Thousand Acre

Cloudy straw to light gold color. Minor but lasting head. Nice, chunky ring lace.
Mostly malty nose with enough hop for balance. Typical for the style.
The taste is far more bitter. The base is brief with the hop quickly kicking in. The body is a bit thin and the carbonation a bit high. The finish is straight up bitterness and creates a lingering dry aftertaste.
