Oct 22, 2009 12oz bottle (looks bottle conditioned - at least unfiltered) from Supreme Liquors, Cambridge MA. Labelled as Arctica Pale Ale but I’m sure it is the same stuff as it has the same blurb about Tom Crean on the label. A decent and tasty APA. Good leafy and fruity hops throughout - some tropical fruit/lychee. Light pale malt backdrop. Good balance. Understated bitterness on the finish, lingering into a lengthy aftertaste. Clean and refreshing. Not big or spectacular, just a damn good straightforward example of the style.

Jun 28, 2009 Hazy amber appearance with a large beige head and good lacing. Herbal, floral hop aroma paired up with grainy, caramel malts. Metallic flavors detract from the bitterness of the hops and the relatively balanced sweet maltiness. Some carbonation issues -- two bottles from the same 6er; one was moderately carbonated and the other was a gusher.

Jun 26, 2009 Pours an amber color... got it on draft and they poured it without the proper amount of head. Aroma was fruity with some hops involved. Taste was pretty nice, with well-balanced amount of hops. Slight sweetness. Caramel notes and citrus notes in there as well. If nothing else a pleasant session beer.

Jan 26, 2009 Had it on tap which is definetly the way to have this beer. Found it in bottles and WAY too carbonated, took forever for the head to settle. nice pale ale with a little bite, pretty clear for a pale ale, not hazy at all. pretty refreshing
