Pours a deep, dark orange, totally opaque. Bummer that they serve in a plastic cup outside. Nose is dank, like kveik yeast or farmhouse odd smell, no real fruit rises. Decent mouthfeel, maybe a little over carbonated given that they use flaked oats. Taste follows the nose, maybe some mango up front, quickly followed by bitterness and the farmhouse-y yeast.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Solid New England IPA. Lacks the bitterness that you see with some and there is a tropical note that really makes this beer stand out!

 

 

First time visit to the Brewery today, and I had a pint of this, at $6.00. Was served in a glass resembling a 12oz can...

Was a muted, cloudy, hazy dull yellow/golden color. Looked thick, if that's possible. Had a thin, white, rim-clinging layer of foam, with some decent lace. Aroma was super,with great rindy, pithy citrus notes. Had mango, pineapple and tangerine present. Feel was quite low on the prickle scale, with a medium body.

Flavor was like the nose - lots of fruit! Pineapple, mango, tangerine, apricot... yes, all there... Nice sweetness balanced by some solid bitterness. Finish was dry, with more pithy, bitter notes, though that was never off-putting. Solid!! Prosit!!
