Pours a radiant copper with a rocky white head that lasts, and leaves a soft lace on the glass. Cascade, Chinook, and Citra™ hops dominate the aroma, yielding a citrusy, floral bouquet. The hops give a nice bite, but this beer is well-balanced with a full body and a rounded, malty flavor to back up the hops. It finishes smooth with a lingering hop flavor reminiscent of fresh ruby red grapefruit.

Can, best before Jan 30, 2026, from tfontana, drunk 12/22/25, as pictured. Thanks, Tom!
Tropical fruit (mango) with clementine and peach. Some oxidation and some caramel. I guess they don't want it to be a New England style, which is fine, but that's not an excuse to use a bunch of caramel malt.
Caramel and bread with toast and tropical hop notes. The hops are done well, with light but ample bitterness and a good, fruity, juiciness. But this caramel malt, with its sweetness, bread and toast has to go....

12 oz can in a trade with tfontana. Thank you! Aroma is caramel malt and very slight pine. Flavor follows with just a little bit of citrus. A lot of caramel malt. This is about as classic an old-school as you possibly can get. Almost reminds me of an old Sierra Nevada pale ale.
