Can pour (canned no later than mid December, ‘19) from Twelve Percent, North Haven. Appearance is opaque yellow (juicy) with no sparkle, ring of off-white head and no lacing. Aroma is sweet lemon (like a meringue pie) and maybe a hint of pineapple. Taste is sweet lemon and light pineapple as aroma but balanced by a pretty strong bitter. Mouthfeel is light side of light-to-medium bodied with thin, smooth, frothy texture, soft-to-average carbonation and finish as taste with lingering mild bitterness. Overall, nice aroma and flavor, so enjoyable, though hard to find the base blonde/golden ale here. Drinks more like a good session IPA.

Can spilt by tfontana, thanks Tom! Another CT brewery! Moderate tropical citrus aromas. Initial flavor is light sweet with a moderate bitter finish. Tastes are light mango, pineapple-ish, and piney hop. Real good for the style.

Can from Holiday Market. Pours a hazy yellow gold with a finger of white foam that dissipates. Big dank nose with pineapple, mineral, tangerine pith and mango underneath. Good tropical fruit notes on the palate with more dank, a touch of green hops and lingering pine and papaya. --- Beer merged from original tick of Eager To Share on 29 Dec 2019 at 17:45 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 8 | Flavor - 8 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 7.5.

Pour is a murky and hazy orangeish with a large white head. Aroma is fantastic. Pineapple and passion fruit hops that I can smell without bringing the glass to my nose. Flavor is a little bit thin but you get plenty of tropical fruit with a little green onion at the end. Wonderful little pale ale from a new brewer. The only thing I would recommend is putting a canned on date on the can.
