Nice little beer. Wheaty, vague spices, hint of grapefruit and other citrusy elements. Cloudy yellow color. Light-medium palate and easy drinking, refreshing if almost a tad on the too-sweet side.

NE IPA on tap at FR. Almost tastes underdone. Juicy, peachy, mild, modern IIPA. No resin or bitterness. Juicy, but equally creamy, yeasty. Awesome stuff.

Tap at Forbidden Root. Dry, lovely Grisette. Light to medium bodied. Super light and fluffy on the palate. Has a real dry, rindy edge from the dry hopping I suppose. Not that great of hop tones, but a solid overall offering. Bubblegum spice comes through as it warms.

Tap at FR. Funky, odd. This one doesn't work. Infected tones for sure. Really cool idea....poor execution. Light, faint, dry citrus tones can't compete with the off tones. Bad.

Tap at FR. Unfiltered burgundy red brown body. Sweet and viscous. Really deep cherry tones as advertised. Full bodied, a slow sipper....glad I only got a 5oz pour. Cherry syrup. Over the top. Too big for its own good. Unique..

Tap at FR. The first Rye NE IPA I have encountered. Solid offering. Cool and crisp, the rye works quite well here. Juicy, bright Amarillo citra-ish tones. Really well done. Modern. Great.

Tap at FR. True to style cloudy orang-tan body. Foamy glass rimming white head. Quite mild, more of a Pale Ale than an IPA. Soft and delicate. Juicy, creamy mouthfeel. Very modern, solid offering. Quite balanced, not exactly a hop bomb.

On tap at GABF, pours a clear gold with medium frothy white head. The aroma is grass and lemon zest. Medium body, grass, earth, light finish, good.
