Can into a snifter showing moderately filtered golden amber with sparse white foam. The nose shows moderately intense notes of pine, pineapple and hints of mango. The palate is medium bodied and moderately carbonated. Light flavors of pineapple with clean notes of subtle sweet malt in between. Surprisingly soft and with little sharp acidity. Mildly sharp pine bitterness on the finish.

Canned 4/14/17, drunk 5/25/17 at Doc Pond’s.
Copper-to-light-amber body shows a moderate but not heavy haziness with a good-sized white head that is well-retained.
Star fruit, nectarine and spicy pineapple are joined by more classic pine and orange rind with lots of spicy, herbal, dank notes lingering in the background. Malts show a touch of bread but are otherwise left out of the way adding no more than the usual biscuit/cracker. Attenuation seems proper, from the nose and there is no flaw or alcohol and little resin.
Dry yet with some light honey and sticky malt notes on a fairly soft texture that uses quite a bit of carbonation, moderately engaging, to whisk all sorts of juicy citrus, pine and wood about the palate. Ends very dry, with lingering red grapefruit, nectarine, marmalade and pineapple. Nice and light, clean and fairly low on the resin. A good mix of West Coast and NE characteristics.

Can. Super hazy gold. Thin, messy, lasting, white head. Nose has a load of juicy peach and mango. Slightly floral and herbal. Touch of white grape. Flinty, mineraly edge to it. Taste is light, citrusy bitter. Good fruity pop. Light body. Clean as a whistle. More juice on the finish. Drier on the close. Smashable.

Paid $3.50 for a 16 oz. can at CBC Waterbury. Date on bottom of can reads 9/20/16. Dirty orange in color. Aroma is floral, mild malt, earthy /leafy hops.

Body is medium, smooth, soft carbonation. Taste is floral right up front, light grass, citrus pith. Texture becomes lightly dry. Strong amount of bitterness. Is this an IPA or APA? The Brewer 1st called it an IPA during it’s early life. Now this is marketed in cans and clearly reads APA. Honestly, either way this is an enjoyable hoppy ale.
