There is no denying the brilliance in the cathedral hull design from Boston when running around on the tidal brackish chop of the rivers of the Jersey Bayshore. Whether sitting with some friends casting lines, or yanking people around on tow ropes, their fun, easy-to-love pleasure for pleasure’s sake have always had a home on docks around here. For our three point hulled New England workhorse, Whaler, we flanked a prow of Mosaic with Citra and Galaxy, pushing it through our decidedly mineral water with some Strata as the outboard. Drink Whaler because when something is this easy to enjoy, that’s what should be done.

16 oz can from the brewery, 2/21/21. Canned 2/17/21. Hazy pale yellow color, white head, fairly strong lace. Lychee, pineapple, and grapefruit hops over a slight pale malt base. Drinks crisp, clean, and easy. Soft carbonation. Chugable. More subtle then a lot of NEIPAs (of which trillions are made daily), but also of a higher quality than most. Really nice.
