Drop the needle on Tonearm, a brand-new hazy pale ale that hits all the right notes.
Brewed with the dynamic New Zealand hop duo, Nelson Sauvin & Motueka, Tonearm bursts with bright citrus notes, followed by subtle hints of gooseberry and grapefruit. Its smooth, light mouthfeel and mild bitterness make it an easy sipper—effortlessly drinkable and endlessly enjoyable.

One Stop advent calendar 1/24, starting things off strong with Trillium! Bright hops, great crisp mouthfeel, and hazy as all hell but not overly juicy. Nicely rounded.

No canning date that I can find?! But very fresh, drunk 3/20/25.
Murky, dull brass-lemon-juice. Loudly-fizzling head fizzles away steadily to a smattering of bubbles.
Lots of white wine in the nose with definite mineral and tropical fruit salad. Cracker malts and a touch of twang, but pretty clean overall.
In the mouth it's oddly thin, watery, almost bland, even. Really odd. Just no malt depth and very little lasting flavor. Hard cracker, no sweetness, no malt depth and vaguely fruity, dull hops. Oh, Trillium, why must you still have consistency issues 12 years in....

Pours murky yellow into a nonick. White head with little retention recedes to skim surface. Citrus and hay aromas. Crisp and dry with sweet white grape, straw and lemon upfront turning to earthy pith in the medium length finish.
