New River Pale Ale

An orange beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet hoppy combined with notes of flowers and hints of grapefruit. The flavor is sweet malty with light notes of hops ans grapefruit.

Bottled. Amber colour, clear, no head. Rich grapefruit aroma. Sweet and medium bodied. Hoppy, fruity lychee flavour. Soapy, clean mouthfeel. Lingering bitter finish.

The Three C’s strike again! Just plain delicious - I would argue better than Tupper’s Hop Pocket.

The score was calculated based upon the notes and an old scoring system.

(draft) Clear amber,with little head. Grapefruit-Cascade hops aroma, but not overpowering. Decent malt backbone with relatively restrained hops (OK --it’s still hoppy, but they could have made it much moreso). Goes down grapefruity bitter. Delicious.
