Description
In August of 2005, the first jack hammer went into the ground in the empty warehouse in Pleasantville, New York, that was to become the living dream of our founder Scott Vaccaro. We brewed our first batch of beer in December of 2005. In December of 2011 we moved to Elmsford, finished construction of our new brewery, brewed our first batch of beer, and slowly shut down our old location. In 2014 we decided that it was time, after 9 years of making sour and wild ales, to take it to the next level by opening our new sour ale production wing, lovingly dubbed the “Fermento Funk Facility”.

Can drunk after a vacation day of house construction. Orange amber hazy, juicy orange and pineapple nose. Lots of lupulin content, perhaps a hint of hop burn, piney flavor, heavy on the back of palate. Middle of the road bitterness for an IPA, but more than a hazy often would have. Tastes a bit less exciting/less juicy than I'd expect, only 3mos from canning date, but single hop mosaic as I infer from the label.

Can drunk after successfully reading Dr. Seuss' Sleep Book to a toddler. Slightly hazy gold, nice fine head, nose of orange peel and warm, dry pine forest. Nice amount of caramel malt on the tongue adding to that. Tingling carbonation. Pretty big bitterness that lingers, not the smoothest hop character but still very tasty.

Can of Beer drunk while pan-browning potatoes boiled with baking soda. Chestnut amber, huge head, clear. Citrus peel & pine nose, flavor is more of the same, smooth with pretty fat bitterness and a nice caramel note. Big flavor and body for only 5.5%, tasty one. A bit more bitterness than the usual Pale, approaching IPA territory here.

16 oz. can from Total Wine. Pours a mostly clear gold color with an off-white head and great retention. Great lacing too. Smells like a pilsner. Tastes like a soft pilsner with a light lemon and a light bitter finish. Clean, crisp, smooth, and very refreshing. Medium-light body. Above average carbonation. Soft bitterness.

Sample (thanks omhper!). Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is floral, fruity, some nectary and some mild toffee tones. Flavour is floral, fruity, some biscuity and mild toffeeish tones with a bit black peppery tones in the aftertaste. Interesting one.
