Our interpretation of a classic, Nor'easter comes in big and gold like its namesake with an impressive golden blonde hue, and a lacy white head. This APA has a crisp dry flavour with a hint of sweetness, perfectly balanced by its distinctly bitter hops. Aromas of citrus, mango, and passionfruit from the prized Mosaic hop give this one its unmistakable signature fragrance.

Can. Bright amber. Medium head. Balanced aroma and palate. The latter in particular brings a lot of nuance to the table. Subtle fruits - like, the brewer actually paid attention to the yeast. It's so rare to pick up such a positive yeast character in an APA these days. The malts are sweet, just a touch of sticky, mostly clean and with a touch of bread. The bitterness is moderate, and hop expression is balanced, bringing stone fruits, touch of grapefruit bitterness in the finish. This is a really good take on the original (non-hazy) version of the style.
