32 growler drunk 5/27 and 5/28/17.
Moderate haziness, but nothing even approaching their IPA. Top pour is actually quite clear after it’s been sitting in the fridge for a few days. Mixing in the sediment proves to add more hop character and softness to the palate without any problematic blandness/yeastiness. White head atop is large and well-retained. Pale, straw-gold body is well-carbonated.
Very dry nose full of lemon-pepper-like hop notes spread across a rather grainy, very "dry" seeming malt body and fresh, nutty yeast. Nectarine rind, mineral and low resin. It’s impressive how different this is than their IPA - not in the NE style at all and almost more along the lines of a moderately hoppy golden ale.
Nutty, and yet peppery with a dextrinous but super-attenuated character. Tons of biscuit, cracker and fresh grain-like character with lemon, pear and lime-like hop notes that provide gentle to moderate bitterness without exacerbating the very dry, grainy malt character. Very tight, engaging carbonation keeps it light, bright and crisp. With warming and more sediment added, it gets a little softer and the citrus becomes somewhat more round. Great stuff, crisp, dry, mineral-driven and highly drinkable.
