7oz pour at the taproom is a clear sunset orange with a ring of white head. Nose has light soap and citrus, light malt. Cracker. Flavor is zippy with malt and orange and soap, some pine but it's sneaky light. Dry finish.

Can at “Keep NH Brewing” Flavor is very mild. Belgian yeast with soft green. Flavor is yeast dominant with a very light crisp texture. Actually very tasty.

Undated can brewed at Henniker, drunk 5/25/23. Mostly clear brass-golden. Small, white head fades to spotty cover fairly quickly. Pretty clean, easygoing cascade with honey and white-bread maltiness. Clean, lightly fruity yeast. Lightly bready with more white sugar and lightly piney, but not resinous hops. Clean at least. Lighter body but not overly thin. White bread malts, light pine with almost no bitterness. It's clean, it's light. Wish it was a bit more bitter. Never been a huge fan of the malt-forward pale ale.

Can from the Packie. Pours a lightly hazy medium gold color with a decent sized off white head that slowly recedes. Bready toasty maltiness with some earthy spicy hops to counter. Pretty Nice

Can (best before 8/22/21) pour from trade with Johnnnniee via The Packie--thanks, John! It's a hazy light brown-dark yellow with light sparkle, finger width white foamy head with poor retention and light soapy lacing. Aroma is subtle dank florals and pine with malt backbone. Taste mirrors aroma. Mouthfeel is light side of light-to-medium bodied with thin texture, soft carbonation and almost disappearing finish. Overall, if I look at this from the perspective that it's basically a session, I can give it a bit of a break. But, not only does the flavor and aroma not excite me but they're so faint! Wouldn't reach for this.

12 oz. can. Aroma is soft pine traces of grain. The same flavors exactly like the aroma. Body is light with a nice effervescence. Pretty standard issue APA. Personal note: I have now sampled 100 New Hampshire breweries.

Can from the Packie Just a touch of haze in this light gold beverage with a good sized frothy white head. Very little description of this beer anywhere, the brewery calls it a blonde ale. I'd add the word Belgian in there so there's no confusion with the consumer, but that's just me. Sweet honey and bready maltiness with bits of clove and spice and some earthy floral hops to counter. Well made quaffable brew.
