Draught at Townshend, 11/11/18.
Moderately hazy, brass-golden with deeper copper hues and a small, white head sitting at cover.
Nose is a soft, vegetal, lightly spicy, scallion puree with soft, honey-like base malt behind it, bits of nectarine, strong, fruity esters and a bit of bubble gum. Very light notes of pine and tangerine linger on the finish, with no alcohol, flaw or resin noted.
In the mouth it's lightly juicy, well-attenuated, with a soft, malty texture and low, but engaging carbonation. A good rendition of the NE IPA and it's not overdone with yeast, yeast and more yeast notes. Definitely more scallion character than I'd prefer, although it isn't astringent or overpowering. If you don't mind scallion, then this is pleasant enough. Otherwise, that may ruin it for you.
