Can pour from The Beer Store, Nashua. Appearance is cloudy light brown-yellow with light sparkle at the edges of the glass, a few white floaties, 2-finger width white foamy head with good retention and trace lacing. Aroma is floral, orange citrus, pineapple. Taste is strong orange citrus, pineapple rind, grapefruit and light grain backbone and mild late bitterness. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with thick texture, average-to-lively carbonation and finish as taste with light lingering bitterness. Overall, nice juiciness for a pale ale and decent complexity.

Draught at Armbsy, 1/30/16.
Tangerine-copper body shows a moderate amount of haziness to it and a small white head atop with moderate to low retention.
Lots of apricot/peach/nectarine from the mosaic, in the nose, with light honey from the pale malts and the requisite orange and lemon citrus presence. Not resinous or acidic in the nose and actually quite mild and fruity, overall, with a touch of earthiness. Seems quite dominated by the mosaic, but they’re done quite well and seem very fresh. No alcohol or flaws.
In the flavor, it’s full of soft tangerine, peach, apricot and honey. Very mild melon and orange notes seem to replace any real bitterness here. Incredibly soft, creamy palate, no doubt something to do wtih the oats. Certainly juicy and highlighting the mosaic hop well, but perhaps going a bit too far with the juiciness and softness. It actually comes off as just sweet, malty and fruity, with very little bitterness to the point of being unbalanced. Will have to try some more.
