Canned on 11/20/19.
This was poured into a becher pint glass.
The appearance was a fairly thick semi-bright paper yellow color. A quarter finger's worth of white foamy head softly dissolved to leave a subtle stringing ring of lace near the top with some cling to it.
The aroma had some citrus rind and pith with some hop zesty character punching at some piney woodiness.
The flavor had a mature bittersweet mentality throttling the piney zesty hop spice towards the sweet side of the citrus rind. Aftertaste lingers subtly with some biscuity malts and citrusy to piney bittersweetness.
The mouthfeel was about medium bodied, perhaps a bit under. Some sessionability to this one. Low key carbonation with some hop zest but nothing burdensome. Subtle sticky dryness but In a nice way.
Overall, I'd say a pretty nice APA leaning towards the New England style and well worthy of coming back to.

10oz pour at Sabatinis in Exeter PA this evening.

Looks good in the glass, hazy bordering on murky dull fruit juice body. Nice white head retains throughout leaving nice lacing.

Decent fruity hoppy aroma.

For a 4.5 pale ale, this is pretty aggressive. Quite bitter, nice malt background, lightly citrus.

Mouth well above medium, finish a bitter wash.

Overall, a tasty almost ipa-ish drink. Stronger than the 4.5 would suggest. Good brew.
