12oz bottle bottled 9/27/22 into a pint glass.
L: Pours almost clear light med amber w a 1/4" eggshell white head that goes quickly to a thick skin, well carb'd, skeletal lacing.
S: Biscuit malts, caramel, toasted cereal grains, fruity, figs, dates, berries, orange marmalade, a light hint of honey.
T: Taste follows aroma with enhanced toastiness of maltings, full flavored, affably bright citrus zest, apricot, orange, malty aftertaste w a leafy & earthy resinous finish.
F: Poofy & soft, smooth & lightly creamy med-body w a fast, slightly dry finish. Softens over time.
O: Fairly malty, fruity citrus hop structure that allows this savory & succulent American Pale Ale have volume. It is outstanding in its style and is underrated.

Great tasting pale ale. Dark golden malty color with smooth hoppy smell and taste. At 5.5 abv it’s very crushable. Bottled from Total in Norwalk CT.

Look - poured from a 12 oz bottle. Amber in color, small head with minimal lacing.
Smell - floral hoppiness, balanced by a strong toasted malt presence.
Taste - bottle says 45 IBUs, I think its a little more. Hoppiness hits immediately on palate, followed by the biscuits/malts in the finish.
Feel - medium bodied, fairly high carbonation and standard ABV at 5.5%.
Overall - I'll give this one the benefit of the doubt. It's a good APA. Not much complexity compared to some of the other local crafts, but it is refreshing and easily drinkable. Good beer.
