Rather grassy and bright for a 6.5%. Little oniony jawn. Ace. Thanks Moon Dog!

Taster flight. Light yellow haze. Still shows a thin ring of white foam. Has more of the hoppy catbox smell. And a bit of lemon as well. Hops in the taste are slightly mellowed vs. the Craft Roots I had in the flight before. Comes out with a bit of cream ale character.

Draft at Yarde Tavern. Hazy yellow pour, thin silky white head. Aroma is sharp, biting citrus zest. Lemon, grapefruit. Taste mellows the zest a bit, more juicy, lactose possibly, sweetness. Still bitter enough to remain on the palate.

Draught at Rudy's New Haven, 5/19/22. Heavily hazy orange juice with no head. Luscious tropical fruits and big citrus juice with cracker and honey malts. Clean, no booze/twang with even some dank spice. Soft and malty with great attenuation and juicy hops. Dank and spicy notes, good dryness from the malt and light honey and cracker. Another NE that doesn't go all-in on it's new Englandness. There's good bitterness and much less malt sweetness and fruity yeast than typical. But it's soft and very drinkable unlike it's west coast compatriots.

Can thanks to Don. Pours a cloudy orange with frothy sticky white head. The aroma is strong grapefruit and melon. Slick body, grapefruit, pine, sticky resin finish, very good.
