Miniature Giant Space Hamster
Bullfinch Brewing

billed as a session new england ipa, this is light and easygoing, less body than a lot of them, no bitterness or vegetal over hopped intensity at all, juicy and fresh, still slightly weird in the ferment like their hazy double also was, but more minor here, and it kind of plays up the hops a bit. yellow and more unfiltered than thick hazy looking, backlit and mellow wth a short white head and fine carbonation. aroma of fresh lemon, lemon verbena, pineapple, smarties candy, and papaya or something tropical, bright to me, well hopped, modern, no bitterness at all and extremely light on the grain side without being one dimensional. pineapple in the flavor, orange, clementine, green grape, and a lightly brassy metallic note as it warms. it does feel slightly thin, but i like the lightness and drinkability overall. slight white wine and floral character late, hardly any bitterness, and even though a little less than fully clean, i think a nice drinker with a vibrant hop profile, and i love the low alcohol. i was pretty pleased with the three beers i had from these guys while i was back east and will be looking forward to more on my next trip. i like this hazy session space now that low calorie beers seem to be falling out of favor in craft, this is a ripper for a hoppy one.
