BareWolf Brewing

 

Picked up a 4-pack on first time into the brewery, so poured one from the can now. It was explained that this (and all?) beers from them are one-offs, so it is worth noting that this has Green Bullet and Cashmere hops, as this is likely to change should the label come out again. Just wanna say I applaud their bold strategy of never serving the same beer twice - I love exploring new beers from breweries and this will keep me coming back.

It pours a cloudy light orange gold color with a one finger head that settles fairly quickly with little lacing. The aroma has some sweeter tropical notes mixed with a little earthiness - this is a good blend actually. The taste is similar though there is a noticeable tangerine flavor in the mix along with some light papaya that morphs to melon in the finish along with a moderate bitterness. Feel is soft and creamy and there is a moderate bitterness. It feels like a strong APA and it is maybe a little watery but the flavors are so rich it is hard to notice.

They call this a NE Pale Ale. At 6% it's marginal but it feels more like one with a slight thinness in the body. It is a great New England style ale and I am excited to see what else they come up with. This is a solid competitor in a crowded market regionally and a portent I think of good things to come. What will be the next NEIPA from them... who knows?? I will come by to find out though :)
