Can (10/22/24) from Steve. Opaque black with thin head with poor retention, trace lacing. Aroma is strong roasted oats and coffee, milder chocolate and hint of cherry. Taste is strong roasted oats and coffee, later chocolate. Smooth, thick texture, medium bodied, bitter roasted finish as taste. Good strength, good complexity given no adjuncts. Well made.

Can (7/1/24) pour from Manchester Wine and Liquors. Cloudy, milky yellow with nice sparkle, decent head with good retention and nice rings of lacing. Aroma is lemon citrus, milder grape and hint of floral. Taste is strong white wine/grapes, lemon, over wheat, hint of Pilsner malts. Smooth, frothy texture, lively carbonation and finish as taste. Decent complexity and good strength, especially for ABV.

Yarde Tavern draught, 9/28/24. Heavily hazy, borderline milky-turbid. Solid, small, off-white head. Fruity, juicy, spicy, tropical nose with an almost creamed-honey-like maltiness that perfectly balances. Clean, bright, very aromatic and wonderfully-expressive hops. In the mouth it's just as incredible. Soft, supple, perfectly malty and attenuated, comforting and drinkable, with bright, juicy, fruity and spicy hops. Incredible balance that this brewery does like few others. Insanely drinkable.
gave a cheers!

16 oz can in a trade with tfontana. Thank you Tom!! New Park is still my favorite CT brewery. Flavor is bursting with mixed citrus, mango and soft, lasting grapefruit that’s mildly bitter. Body is the medium plus with a nice chewy out texture. Wonderful brew!

Can pour shared by Steve. Opaque, milky yellow with nice head and decent lacing. Aroma is herbal and citrusy. Taste follows aroma. Smooth texture, medium bodied with soft carbonation and finish as taste. What you'd expect from Galaxy and Citra without any surprises. Not terribly strong. Fine but not a NP standout.
