Pours a slightly cloudy golden orange color. A thumbnail length foam head retains well and yields lacing.
Nice fruity nose that yields notes of grapefruit, orange, peach and pineapple. Herbal and dank aromas evoke notes of pine and grass.
Well hopped with a firm bitterness and dry palate. Good balance as the creamy and lightly sweet cracker malts are spiced with piney and resiny hops. Bright flavors of citrus pith, particularly grapefruit, as well as touches of peach and pineapple.
Medium bodied and moderately carbonated. The mouthfeel has some crispness to it while still showing the soft side of the malts. The finish is dry, pithy and resiny.
What a fantastic pale ale. Hops forward and aromatic while still highlighting the malts.

Can. Nelson version. Pours like you’d want a New England inspired beer to look. Glowing but turbid. The nose definitely donates some Nelson. Still, I think this is my favorite hop varietal because it’s so weird and strong. Flavor is interesting. The initial layer of Nelson and juice is strong and I take to it. Then it clean out quickly and finishes with some pleasant, surprisingly clean maltiness. It’s like someone takes a mop to my palate about 2 seconds into each sip. Very drinkable. Nice beer. Unique in its flavor transition.

Pours a very cloudy dusty gold color. Three finger dense biscuit head that retains well and leaves great clumpy lacing.
Aroma has notes of orange and nectarine with a touch of yeast.
The taste is lightly sweet, fresh fruit juice up front with the same orange and nectarine, though the orange comes through a little more than in the smell. The finish is definitely tangerine - nice touch.
Feel is very soft and creamy with a moderate seltzer to it. Bitterness is fairly low, though a tartness kicks in mid-taste, fading into the finish.
This is pretty damn good. The flavors are strong but not offensively, and the sweetness is just right. Very pleasant and high on the thick and juicy scale compared to what's out there.
