Boat Beer is designed to be complex enough to merit drinking a few without being crippled by alcohol. Kolsch yeast and German malts are combined to be crisp and refreshing, while a generous amount of American hops have been added to keep it remarkable. Expect it to dance out of the glass with a whack of grapefruit and open into a crisp, stony tangle of white and yellow fruit with pine and moss notes. An IPA for everyday drinking, drink boat beer when you are thirsty from softball, fishing, or explaining why your team is best.

Bottle at RBWG 2014. Pours a hazy, soapy yellow with a white head that lasts throughout the beer. Aroma has a dank pine note with a hint of onion and an earthy grain backbone. Flavor has bitter pine and resin with a hint of dankness and a bread backbone.

Tallboy from Ramy poured into a Hovels tall thin mug. Small bubbly head fades rather quickly. Body is very hazy pale straw. Aroma is very dry hoppiness with accents of lemon skin, bitter dry greens, and mostly dry grapefruit. Flavor is a strong bitter grapefruit with a long bitter and dry finish. Malts are cracker and white bread. Perfectly in the background. The beer is super light and so easy to drink. The bitter aftertaste gives heft to the beer. Its really nice, just so easy to put down.

16oz can pours a clear, bright gold with some fluffy white head. Nose is very nice, bright lemon, wet grass, zested orange, some straw. Flavor is light and crisp, grassy, straw, lemon, a little herbal tea, chamomile. Crisp finish. Slightly tannic.

On tap @ Blind Tiger House. Damn this is a murky yellow one. Looks like re used dishwasher water added yellow contrast juices and some sort of mud. Most likely the last bit of the keg. It has a thin quickly islandy white top and smells of well, grass actually fresh cut grass and loaded with fruity tones all the way. Damn, sweet and really good on the nose this. It tastes fantastic also. A balanced dry bitterness, lots of grassy hops, some grapefruit and a swiff if zest perhaps. Light oily on the mouthfeel with a gentle average carbonation level. Scary quenchable this. Could easy drink loads of this. 23.06.2013

Hope Devil Grille, NY tap ($6.50): Pours golden with a white head. Aroma is hops, bread, and yeast, simple but well done. Taste is nice and bready with a hoppy undertone. I was almost surprised by this. Had an underlying complexity to it. Some sips almost tasted like a Belgian ale.

Shaker pint draft at Jimmy’s No. 43 in New York. The pour is a hazed golden with a 1/2 inch white head that falls with splotchy lacing. The aroma is fresh crisp grain, a light citrus note, then moves to grass, hay and a really well integrated citric character. The taste is grass and hay upfront, moving quickly to a bright citric character and all on top of very crisp malt. The flavors are all crazy fresh, clean and crisp. The palate is light bodied with soft natural carbonation, and a dry crisp subdued citric finish. This beer is crazy drinkable, really an extraordinary beer. This is exactly the type of beer I am into right now.
