16 oz can. Aroma tangerine. Want to guess what the flavor is? Yes. Tangerine. Maybe some orange if I really, really looking for something else. Lighter body with a tangerine peel finish.

16 oz. can. Aroma of peach, apricot and nectarine. The galaxy hop comes off pretty fruity. Soft tropical hints with mild citrus and stone fruit. The hop shines bright here. Mild grains backbone with a soft bitterness. This is well crafted.

Draft at City Tap. Golden pour and some head. Nose is light bread and pine. Tastes the same crisp cracker, hint of Forest and caramel. Cold a pizza is a RI delicacy not sure if CT brewery is referencing that miracle food or standard leftovers.
