Draught @ George Keeley, Manhattan (June 2024). Clear golden with a creamy off-white head, orangey aroma, low carbonation, medium bitter orange peel, floral hops, lightly piney, smooth thin body, long medium bitter finish. Smooth and floral.

Crisp, very clear and golden coloured body with a thick, four to five centimetre tall off-white head that fades quickly, but leaves an ugly lace on the sides. Aroma of bubble gum, papaya, guava, pineapple, tropical fruits, resin and a dash of light malts, biscuits and a touch of pineapple, with a good bitterness noticeable from the fresh hops. Medium-bodied; Rich malts with a lot of tropically fruits here with guava, papaya and pineapple along with a soft bitterness and pungent sweetness with a lot of fruit-based sugars and complex hop finish that shows a little dryness. Aftertaste shows a nice fruit bite throughout with a lot of guava and pineapple notes, but some crisp bitterness and smooth malts that persist throughout. Overall, a pretty nice and robust beer with a good herbal and tropically finish with smooth malts and a mildish sweetness. Good to sample from local and quite fresh! I sampled this sixteen ounce pint-sized can purchased from Whole Foods in New York (NoMad, 28th Street), New York on 04-December-2022 for US$4,99, canned on 11-October-2022 and sampled on the train home to Washington with my wife and kids on 04-December-2022. 

A lightly hazed golden ipa with a thin lacing white head. In aroma, sweet fruity biscuit malt with grassy hops, light mineral notes, pleasant. In mouth, a nice biscuit malt with grassy hops, light mineral notes, pleasant and smooth. On tap at City Beer NYC.
