Willimantic Three Cents

Brewed by Willimantic Brewing Company
Style: American Pale Ale
Willimantic, Connecticut USA

Sampled this one on draught at the brewpub in Willimantic and a growler to take home. Pours to a hazy amber color with tight white head, and moderate amount of carbonation. The nose is very nice on this beer, lots of good citrus and grapefruit aromas, paired with biscuity pale malt. Lots of good pale and biscuity malt flavors, and touchs of caramel on the palate with really great grapefruit, orange, and citrus hop flavors. This beer finishes with really good hop flavor up front, then end with a tangy citrus hop bite that lingers. Delicious beer with great hop aromas, flavors, and bitterness yet very, very drinkable. A growler of this one will not last long.

Growler from the brewery. Pours a murky light brown with a small white head. Aroma of citrus, bready malts, hop spices. Flavor is quite citrusy with lots of orange and grapefruit notes. Lots of hop spices and fruity citrus notes. This pale ale is really more like an IPA but that’s what the brewers called it. Awesome beer, I really enjoyed it. Awesome palate and drinkability. This is pretty similar to Address Unknown IPA, just a little bit less hoppy. 8/4/9/4/16 [4.1/6]
