Fresh Catch

Tap to rate

Fresh Catch is a year-round blonde ale that the brewery dedicates to New England's fishermen and the region's seafood traditions. It is dry-hopped with Citra, which shapes the aroma while the body stays light. Citrus and passion fruit are clearly present on the nose, grapefruit follows on the palate over a soft, bready malt base, and the beer ends crisp and dry with a moderate bitterness and a lingering grapefruit note.
