Draft @ Ale House in Amesbury, MA. Dirty amber in color with thin white head. Nose is just caramel malt. Caramel starts of the flavors with lots of sugar and malt with just a wisp of wood. Yeast shows itself as the brew warms. I also get notes of maple syrup. Medium in body with a short clean finish. Overall, I was hoping for a bit more however, it’s not a bad brew in any aspect.

GBBF. Hazy pale gold beer, suddy white head. Light palate - clean and slightly dry. Nice light floral hops with a touch of citrus well buried. Mild fresh hop sting. Mild minerals. Not sure about rye spice - maybe but the hop string is disguising it. Semi dry finish. Light and refreshing.

Pours dark mahogany into a Sam glass. Tan head with good retention recedes leaving spot lacing. Sweet dark caramel and smoke aromas. Dark smoky chocolate upfront turning to a sweet middle before the dry, earthy finish

Draft at Roo bar in Plymouth, MA killing time prior to a wedding. Pours copper with fluffy head and nice hoppy citrus nose. Tastes of grapefruit, pine, malt, caramel, grass, and floral. Medium bodied and we’ll carbonated, a nice straightforward ipa with 7% abv as a bonus.

12 ounce bottle from Nikki’s Liquors, Providence. Tiny bit of a gusher. Pours a hazy orange color with a large creamy off-white head. Decent head retention. Aroma of big caramel malts with floral hops. The taste is floral, minty and tropical hops with a caramel malt backbone and strong notes of candied citrus. Medium bodied, very slight lingering bitterness. Decent.
