Tiger Style Fierce Pale Ale

Can. Pours cloudy gold with an off-white head. Melon, tropical fruit, citrus, peach, tasty.

Very hazy deep copper, bronze and orange coloured body with a thick, very hazy, three to four centimetre tall frothy tan head that fades slowly, but leaves an ugly lace on the sides. Aroma of grassy and floral hop notes with a light citrus bite, some dry hay with a light bit of sweetness noticeable in the nose. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong dry and grassy bite shows at first with a lot of alpha acid bitterness right behind, that shows a lot of punch, but a tiny citrus and stone-fruit sweetness comes through near the end with some light alcohol bite at the finish, but all balanced well. Aftertaste is fairly strong, with the hops by far the strongest, that give off a nice bitterness and punch, but the malt aspects are nice as well, leading a dry floral kick and some grassiness and not much sweetness at all on the end. Overall, a nice dry, older school IPA that's unfiltered and lacking in sweetness, but balanced well - very nice to try, but not exceptional. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Carmine Street Beers in New York (Greenwich Village), New York on 02-May-2021 for US$4,99 'Drunken Master' packaged on 04-December-2020 #1051, sampled at my house here in Washington on 10-June-2021.

4 oz. draft at Maine Beer Cafe, Kittery. Color is a straw appearance, thin head. Aroma is melon, fruit, and mild pale grain. The flavor is heavy with Citra hops and a mild earthy finish. Low bitterness, some juice character. Very "New England" like. Another "Juice bomb Bro!!"
