PIA
Yankee & Kraut

 

Pours a hazy, deep orange coloration with a medium, fluffy, lasting head. Smells of light biscuity malt and citrus/tropical hops, with grapefruit and passionfruit standing out. Taste follows the nose, with a great balance of light biscuity malt and citrus/tropical hops, with quite zesty grapefruit and sweet passion fruit standing out particularly and lighter notes of lime peel and pineapple, as well as just a hint of grass and pine as well. Finishes with a medium bitterness and some grapefruit and passionfruit lingering in the aftertaste. Smooth mouthfeel with a medium body and carbonation.

This is a fairly typical Hazy/NE Pale Ale that is dominated by quite zesty citrus notes, with some lighter tropical accents and the hops being quite juicy and expressive, with a very nice and full body and mouthfeel for the ABV as well. Overall, a terrific NE Pale Ale that comes at a great price point as well.
