Go Birds!!! Beer is okay, classic pale ale. Zippy, floral. Winding down work with a couple of parties on the docket later today.

16 ounce can into tulip glass, best before 2/12/2020. Pours fairly hazy medium golden yellow color with a 1 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, apricot, passion fruit, mango, honeydew melon, red apple, strawberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, wood, mint, dill, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate bready malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of big tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, apricot, passion fruit, mango, honeydew melon, red apple, strawberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, wood, mint, dill, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, woody, minty, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, apricot, passion fruit, mango, honeydew melon, red apple, strawberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, wood, mint, dill, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and no lingering hop astringency after the finish. Fairly crisp/clean finishing. Moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness and carbonation. Medium-plus carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy, and sticky/resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol for 6%. Overall this is a delicious American pale ale. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate bready malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink with the modestly bitter/resinous/drying finish; not overly aggressive. Great Citra, Huell Melon, Lemondrop profile. Very vibrant, dank, earthy, and fairly juicy hops; with a great clean wheat/oat/malt backbone. Minimal residual sweetness with crisp resin dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and well made style example.

The Aromas are Citrus hops, fresh cut grass and a little pale malt. Flavors are like nose, lightly sweet up front with a little bitterness in the back also a hint of pine resin. Great carbonation body in Finnish. Very nice beer.
