This noble hop pale ale explores the lighter, more classic side of hops. Allowing a bit more sweetness to come through from the base malt balanced by a floral and earthy bitterness in place of more fruit forward tropical hops sweeping through the majority of hoppy beers. A beer to drink in all seasons, a beer to enjoy one after another.

Canned 10/31/17, drunk 12/8/17 and 12/22/17.
Lightly-to-minimally hazy, pale, straw-blonde golden body topped by a large white head that falls steadily to cover.
Nose is rather tight, with very strong, perfume-oriented, floral hops. Definitely not your typical earthy, spicy tettnang. So I assume the loral is contributing this sort of odd, lavender and lime essence character. Sharp lemon in there as well. Very low malting apparent behind it; just some cracker and very light biscuit, with very little honey or anything to soften it. Clean, though, and with typical mineral rich house yeast notes. No alcohol.
Very dry, yet dextrinous body has a soft, tightly-carbonated texture. Strong perfumey/spicy hops with more lavender, lemon-lime essence, dry, unripened nectarine skin and more mineral on the finish. There's just a bit too much floral character and it creates some astringency on the palate. Like the Trapped in Habitual Nostalgia beers, it's just way too dry. Just a touch of sweet malt would work wonders here to balance and give some relief to the palate. Otherwise it's clean and shows no alcohol.
