Sampled at a tasting at Big Z in Huntington, NY - lightly hazy gold - good head retention - a very dry, crisp, biscuity pale ale, with a decent pale malt and yeasty heft to it that helps it maintain a nice, full body for the style - lightly grassy and moderately bitter, despite the high hop profile - very tasty.

Growler - turbid glowing orange - looks like unpasturized apple cider - semi-dry, biscuiy aroma, with spicy hops, light banana phenols, apricot - flavor starts off fairly sweet, with some citrus and banana notes - dries out through the middle, with a pronounced biscuit and gingerbread character - some dusty yeast - some potent, spicy hops arrive as the beer dries, adding additional depth and kick in the finish - a nice marriage of belgian and american brewing styles - quite tasty - I am going to have to try some more of their beer while I’m in town.

Growler at the Funky 6. Pours a rich, cloudy orange with a moderate, white head. Belgian yeast aroma with spices, bananas and some citrus. Flavor is fairly sweet and fruity, with further notes of bananas and pears, along with some citrusy, piney hops. Medium in body with smooth carbonation and light resin. Finishes sweet and rather hoppy with modest drying. Very nice.
