7.8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 8
Bottle pour into nonic pint glass from One Stop Market, Haverhill, MA. Aroma is dark fruits, roast/ash, chocolate, vanilla. Appearance is very dark brown (almost opaque) with 1/2 finger-width light brown head with poor retention and no lasting lacing. Taste is moderately sweet roasted flavor and chocolate with mild bitterness/ash at the end. Palate is medium to full-bodied with thick, slightly sticky texture, lively carbonation, hint of spiciness and mix of sweet/bitter finish. Overall, a really nice beer.

Surprised I had never rated this, but I recently had a killer batch at City Tap House in DC. 16oz pint pours a lightly hazy gold with some lacing, white head. Nose was a knock out, guava and mango, malt, grass, tangerine, light pine, light soap. Everything is well blended and inviting. Flavor hits with the fruit sweetness, guava, mango, light melon, orange, tangerine, some starfruit, grass, light soap. Dry finish and scary drinkable at 7.5%. A classic.

16oz pour at CTH is a hazy gold with some cloudy white head. Nose is not that great, rotting tropical fruit, perfume, straw, some cheap malt. Flavor is overly sweet, estery, this is more Tripel than Kolsch, honey, tropical fruit. Full bodied, sticky finish. A big miss from Ithaca.

Bottle via Secret Santa 2015, thank you. Pours a thick honey color with a finger of creamy off-white head. Aroma is sweet and citrus filled, some caramel malt, and a little dry floral hops. Tastes bitter, heavy in the dry dirty floral hop department. Light citrus sweetness, but barely noticeable. This is all about hops flavor. Potent.

Called outdoor wet hop pale ale. Tap, wants to be an ipa but never gets there. Some mild to medium ipa attributes but never over the top nor in yer face. Its simply a pretty well behaved enjoyable pale ale. Towards the end some bitter ipa like hops set in. Overall not bad for an apa.
