Growler from the brewery. slightly hazy deep yellow color with a small frothy white head. Stone fruity pine and resin on the nose with sweet bready malt underneath. More stone fruit earthy resinous hop flavor with a hint of spicy pepper. Sweet bready malt to back it up. Pretty tasty pale ale.

Draught at King’s Head, 7/4/16.
Medium haziness throughout this soft tangerine-golden body. White head atop is medium-sized and shows moderate to moderately strong retention.
Enigma strong and clear in the nose. Absolutely love this hop and it’s a great pleasure tracking down the surprisingly few examples of it out there. Lovely mix of Galaxy-like spicy/dankness with the deeper herbal-cherry-wine character that I adore in this hop. Difficult to describe but very intense, juicy and clean, with very low resin and no pine. Malts are fairly sparse behind it, adding just enough biscuit/cracker to balance. Ends on a softer/lighter, peach-nectarine note with no alcohol or flaw.
Juicy and tightly carbonated, the nectarine, fruity-wine and deep, lush, green dankness are excellently presented here. Malts add soft texture but are otherwise reserved and well-attenuated as no flaw or alcohol is noted. Everything is well done here, but it doesn’t have quite the finesse or intensity of Enigma Fort Point, though to be fair that one is about 2% higher in abv, so all things considered, this is right up there for its size.
