Pours a slightly hazy straw from a can. Tasted at a beer tasting at a bottle shop, 1st beer there so I don’t think this was palate fatigue. This smelled and tasted like stale sourdough bread with kind of a bright citric acidity. Not what I was expecting at all.

This was poured into a becher pint glass.
The appearance was a semi-hazy yellow color with a one and a half finger white foamy head that dissipated at a decent pace leaving a rocky white cap of a head with semi-thick white foamy lacing, nice show!
The smell started off with sweet grassy hops sliding into sweet citrus rind and a dry floral quality.
The taste was semi-bitter and dry with the sweetness from the grassiness boosting the citrus and floral qualities to become pretty dry on my tastebuds.
On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. Carbonation runs fairly light with the dryness coming back and pouncing on my tongue adequately.
Overall, only as I get to the end, I see the date stamped in green on the neck \"packaged 08/04/2015,\" but you know for an APA that came out then, this wasn’t bad at all. I could see myself coming back to this during Summer (when fresher).

Keg pour at Powder Keg Beer & Chili Festival. Aroma is fairly weak but a little bit citrusy. Appearance is yellowish-green, hazy, light foamy head, mild lacing, no sparkle. Taste is mildly sour and citrusy but dominant bitter, more bitter than I want from a pale ale--this is more IPA. Palate is light-to-medium body with average texture and average carbonation. Overall, I didn’t enjoy this. Nothing really stood out and it was fairly average, at best. Would go elsewhere for a pale ale.

Draught at Deep Ellum, 9/13/15.
Lightly hazy, beige-golden with a light rusty tint and a small white head that sits at cover.
Hops and a bit of light crystal-like maltiness in the nose compete somewhat, and you get a grainy nose as well as some softer floral and grass. Fruitiness is quite high, as is generally the case with Mayflower, but I don’t find any flaws and certainly no alcohol.
Again, some lightly scratchy malt textures don’t really go with the dry, grassy hops, but with warming, some light honey notes do emerge and thankfully, this is not over-hopped or heavily bitter. The unfiltered nature helps save it, as well, adding a softer element to the mouthfeel, though at the same time dulling the flavor a bit thanks to whatever is still in suspension. Kind of a mixed success, though most importantly it’s very clean and drinkable and the hops flavors are quite pleasant.

12 oz. bottle purchased at Craft Beer Cellar, Portsmouth. Massive carbonation level in a slightly hazy yellow liquid. Aroma is weak citrus, mild grass.
The texture of the beer is grainy with a thin body that had an effervescent tingle. The beer finishes with a slightly bitter aftertaste that lingers for a good amount. The Pilgrims drank this on their voyage to the New World?? Sounds like marketing to me.
