Notes:
Coming in at 5.7%, Seventh Snooze is an easy drinking crusher jam packed with sweet and fruity flavors from its double dry hopping of Nelson and Rakau hops. Pungent hits of tropical fruits envelop your nose as you lift the glass to your face. Big flavor blasts of mangos, plums, melons, and a musty white wine finish tackle your taste buds and provide you with an easy drinking pale ale chock full of fruity hoppy goodness. Don’t sleep on this one!

$3.79 @ Total Wine & More, Cherry Hill, NJ
Notes via stream of consciousness: Nice looking label as usual; I have no idea what the name means though. It's a cloudy golden beneath a finger's width of creamy white foam. The aroma is surprisingly limited. This is an IPA, right? Ah ha! No, it's a pale ale at 5.7% but it does say that it's double dry hopped with Nelson Sauvin and Rakau. I'm not getting the expected gooseberry of the Nelson but it does have an apricot note that I'll assume is coming from the Rakau. On to the taste... there's more hop flavor to it than the aroma lets on. The malt is basic and bready. It's sweetish which supports the fruity notes from the hops. I'm finding apricot, apple, fig, and grape. It's a little bit resinous and piney as well, and it finishes dry and piney with a firm bitterness to it. It's interesting with lots of fruit upfront but then that bitterness hits across the middle and brings it back to being a 'real beer' as opposed to one of those fruity malt concoctions that are so popular these days. In the mouth it's medium bodied and gently crisp. The head has held up amazingly well and it's left some very nice lacing about the glass as well. All in all I have to give them credit for coming up with something that's a little bit unique although I think the balance could be a little better.
