Rogue Ales Newport Daze – American Pale Ale at 5.5% ABV | 35 IBU (C$4.18 at Collective, 355 ml, packaged on 2-Mar-2020, acquired 24-Apr-2020, reviewed 30-Apr-2020)
Appearance: hazy pale gold with two fingers of fine white head, good retention and moderate soapy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: tropical & stone fruit, citrus, pale crackery malt, floral. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium-light body, moderate carbonation, off-dry medium bitter finish. (4/5)
Almost juicy, but not quite – but still pretty refreshing. I might appreciate it more if I were within a few hundred miles of a proper beach, but I guess ya gotta make do. Pretty decently full aroma and flavour for an APA. (15/20)
