On draught at the brewery. It pours a hazy, bright orange color with a thin, milk-white head and spotty lacing. The nose is big and fruity with lemon, tangerine, pineapple, and floral hops. It's taste is vibrant and fruity with lots of ripe pineapple and orange/tangerine and notes of lemon peel and red berry. The Citra and Simcoe hops are used well. There is also just a hint of pine from the Idaho 7. Beneath the fruit is a nice crackery malt. The bitterness is balanced and clean. This ale has a slightly creamy mouth feel with a pleasant level of carbonation, and the 8.2% ABV gives it good substance. Overall, Freight Train is great opening beer from a new brewery. It's flavorful and a pleasure to drink.
