Canned Sep 26, 2025, drunk May 12, 2026.
Looks hazy after you swirl and pour in the very bottom. Decent head retention.
Smells fruity, soft, juicy but with a zesty citrus character to keep it from being all juice and sweet notes. Crackery, crusty malts with some light base malt-like honey character.
Wow, for almost 8 months old, this is shockingly hoppy and not oxidized. Maybe the extra yeast and other particulate helps? Still has a robust bitterness, higher than your usual NE IPA and with actual juicy, fruity, citrusy hops that taste like a real IPA, not your usual subpar, underhopped N/A. Very respectable body, as well.

Draft pour at The Hawthorne Hotel in Salem MA. Poured a clear yellow color with a medium sized white head. Aroma was nice toasted malts, sweet malt. Refreshing, and easy to drink. Quite nice.

Pours a light gold color with a touch of haze and a decent sized bubbly white head that slowly recedes. Crisp bready crackery with earthy floral to counter. Seems lacking in body, but tasty.

Reviewed from notes.
Can to becher glass.
Appearance: golden color with a good transparency about it. Two and a half fingers of white foamy head dissipated nicely to leave some light lace.
Aroma: mixed berry-ish to citrusy and slightly citrusy fruits seem to be blended in their hops and a clean maltiness underneath
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a good bittersweet hoppy to malty blend; finishes citrusy and malty
Texture: medium bodied, sessionable, smooth along the tongue
Overall: pretty good blonde ale worthy of coming back to.
