Draught at Ginger Man, 11/22/17.
Gently hazy, peachy-gold with a fairly sizeable, white head showing modest retention.
Very aromatic nose shows spicy, lightly floral hop notes up front, transitioning to soft lime and lightly juicy tangerine. Low malt, with the usual sparse mix of cracker-biscuit character, but enough to "catch" the acidity from the hops and keep the nose even, fruity, spicy and lighthearted. No alcohol, resin or flaw.
Lovely texture, in mouth, showing a soft, supple, well-attenuated malt base that easily balances the gentle, low bitterness. Engaging carbonation and no alcohol or flaw with strong peach-pear-melon flavors and no resin on the end. Very spicy and interesting. Not just a cookie cutter NE pale ale. Very curious to know more about this beer; it's too bad Fiddlehead posts little/no information about their beers.

Poured from can thanks Ben Yelle dated 3/1/18 Sax Scrapers juocy orange with a nice fluffy white head. Aroma is candied orange floral hops light grain and pine. Taste is balanced not overly sweet juicy orange mango light floral hops with a light pine bitterness in the finish. Very crushable.

Pours from the can a hazy copper color with a medium white head that diminishes steadily to an outer ring. Partial rings of lace. The aroma consists of tropical fruit, herbal hops and malt. Medium body with flavors of zesty citrus, floral hops and malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a citrusy hop aftertaste. Pretty good all around.

Thnx to Kyle ! Drank from the Can to perserve the volotile hoparomatics, so no info on the pour. Can is collorfull, pink and greenblue seacollor, not much info about the hops used or anything. Yay, a canning date ! Canned 13-10 so a bit over a month old. Smell is piny, medium intensity, bit malty, but very hidden so underneath the piny notes. Taste is pretty bitter, to go over into a pine forward, mildly fruity aromatic taste. has a papaya-like sidenote in it's fruityness i'm not a big fan of. Otherwide, pretty solid IIPA. Average on most ends ( mouthfeel, carbo, maltyness ) . Decent.

Can thnx to Kyle ! Enjoyed straight from the can to perserve the volotile aromas, so no info on the pour. The can is printed. Looks very simpel, not very appealing. Not much more than the basic info and some color. Smell is intense, as it fills the room upon opening the can. The beer welcomes the drinker by a scent of complex, piny, mild stonefruit, and a grassy undertone. Clean fermentation profile , maltyness hasnt got a big hand into the scent either' straight hopsauce ! Taste is full on hoppy. Medium bitterness for the style, perhaps even a bit on the lower end. Medium-low mouthfeel. Medium to medium high carbonation. Hoppyness is grassy, pine, some stonefruit undertone. Not much maltyness as a base. Clean fermentation profile. Might be world class if it had a bigger maltbase, for now its very good indeed, but I expected more of a top 50 in style , in a style I truly love.
