Draught at Emmett Watson’s, 11/4/15.
Good clarity throughout this copper-brass colored beer, with ample carbonation creating a medium-sized white head that shows moderate retention.
Soft, but quite fragrant hops in the nose add a dusty, lightly dried floral aroma with just a hint of lemon. Bits of caramel and honey play about but it never seems biscuity or toasty, which is nice (I think). No alcohol, nor flaw.
Moderate carbonation and a soft, lightly malty texture go down very easily in this hoppy, but not overly bitter pale ale. Floral notes, vanilla, light baked bread and a lightly dextrinous chewiness to the texture, on the finish. Very reserved, and while it’s brewed admirably, I can’t help wanting just a little more brightness and punch to it. The delicate flavors seem to fade in to the more domineering malts while a lightly piney note appears on the finish, rather out-of-place for the rest of the beer.

On tap at Maritime Pacific, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out dry hopping upfront along with biscuity malt. Flavour is pleasant, with notes of floral dry hopping and biscuity malt. Well-balanced and clean. Very drinkable.

Tap @ Jolly Roger Taproom. Slightly hazy, light burnt orange appearance with a white head. Nice, sweet, citrusy, earthy hoppy, sweet malty nose. A little tangy, citrusy, slightly piney flavor but that is a little subdued and allows for the toasty pale maltimess to come through. Nice brew.

Bottle from Bottleworks. Pours amber with a foamy beige head. Aromas of fragrant hop and caramel. Lush and foamy. Flavor is very mild caramel with a lot of fruit, a lot of rather grassy hop, and a whole lot of taste. Finishes bitter. Very good indeed.
