Hey, guess who else has crowlers? HeadFlyer! I went there a few weeks ago, brought my growler, got that filled, and picked up an extra, because, why not? So, let's drink it:
Clear, amber-hued, big, fluffy white head.
In the nose: soft and citrusy. Lightly spicy. Lively hop flavors.
In the mouth: Caramel and cocoa malt flavors flood the palate at first. Smooth stuff. Light-bodied. Clean. Little bit sweet, little bit bitter, and quite drinkable. Not especially interesting, but that's not really what the pale ale is about. Still, this isn't as arresting as we'd like, even for a pale ale. Am I trying hard not to say it's boring? Maybe. May...be...?
But it is nice, and you can drink it. Citrus-y notes continue to play on the palate, and the time passes peaceably. Further into the pint, I like it more and more.This soft, hazy pale features loads of late addition Mosaic and Amarillo hops to produce plenty of juicy flavor in a more sessionable package.
Notice that they had to hit those "Juicy" and "hazy" points, to drive in those trained to react to them. ....sigh....
