Reviewed from notes.
Growlette to becher glass.
Appearance: semi-bright yellow haziness with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: sweet floral to mixed citrusy hop tones underscored by some light peachy to melon-like hop tones; super light cracker-like malts
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet tone onto a bittersweet quality; finishes somewhat peachy and mixed citrusy hoppiness
Texture: light to medium bodied; sessionable; some smoothness but also some hop bitterness nicking tongue a bit. Good carb level
Overall: nice enough APA I believe I could bang again.

Pint at Bukowskis, hazy lemon yellow, sudsy white head. Nice nose, herbal and punchy, grassy, citrus zest, some soap. Flavor is simple grist, a little corn and then punchy grass and soap. Medium bodied, dry and bitter. Super easy to drink.

Draught at Ginger Man, 11/22/17.
Gently hazy, peachy-gold with a fairly sizeable, white head showing modest retention.
Very aromatic nose shows spicy, lightly floral hop notes up front, transitioning to soft lime and lightly juicy tangerine. Low malt, with the usual sparse mix of cracker-biscuit character, but enough to "catch" the acidity from the hops and keep the nose even, fruity, spicy and lighthearted. No alcohol, resin or flaw.
Lovely texture, in mouth, showing a soft, supple, well-attenuated malt base that easily balances the gentle, low bitterness. Engaging carbonation and no alcohol or flaw with strong peach-pear-melon flavors and no resin on the end. Very spicy and interesting. Not just a cookie cutter NE pale ale. Very curious to know more about this beer; it's too bad Fiddlehead posts little/no information about their beers.
