Very Good
A modern pale ale with generous Citra late hopping that is both refreshing and intoxicating in its aroma. A versatile ale which uses biscuit malt to add a little character to the lite malt backing and a generous Citra late hop/dry hopping brings citrus flavors forward with some piney and fruity accents.

Poured from the tap into a pint glass at the Blind Pig in Hartford, CT. The appearance is a very cloudy yellow color with a medium sized white head. The aroma is all citrus. The taste is traditional NE IPA.

Appearance – Very hazy amber body with a thin ring of foam.
Aroma – Light tea, citrus, and crystal malt. A little odd but not too bad.
Taste – Very bitter, mostly pine dominated. Not much else.
Mouthfeel – A bit astringent and puckering.
Overall – Bitterness was amped up too high on this one.

American pale ales tend to have that distinct Coors Light taste to them that tend to turn me off. This beer did not do that! it was a great beer to enjoy any night of the week! I will happily add this beer to my rotation. Cheers to Boondoggle for stepping into the brewery scene and nailing it!
