I had many beers in the brewery at Dancing Gnome. In fact, it's one of the funnest places I've frequented on my trips to Pennsylvania. Admittedly, I enjoy the company I go with, but the atmosphere is lively enough for fun but sedate enough for grown damn adults to not be annoyed with assorted collegiate shenanigans. Yes, it's a bit hipster, but I think that might be the new normal.
I cannot continue to comment about the look of the beer being thick and hazy and effectively like orange juice that has possibly sat out a little too long or maybe had tangerine added to it for color. Again, microscopic bubbles are scattered about the surface and they leave lacing in their wake. The aroma is drastically simpler than its stablemates with orange, tangerine, and pineapple.First sip is simpler than the others, but it retains the unusual dry finish that lingers with a strained bitterness. The fruits themselves taste pretty good, but the fact that this is simpler than the others may not be working to its benefit. Instead, the rather brief appearance of the fruits isn't enough to justify the dry and bitter back-end. No, this is not a sipper.
Tip-in is sweet and tart pineapple and orange with a gentle malt. The middle brings rather contentious carbonation sting around the entire mouth as the smooth fruits and malt slide down the center quickly. The finish is dryness with a bitterness that is encroaching quickly and eventually takes over before a dry tartness is allowed to hit in the trail off.
Bottom Line: Not as good as the others, but not terrible.
2.5/5
