    Hops overpower the subtler flavours

    As always I appreciate local (or somewhat local) businesses, brewed in Mahone Bay, NS, and want to try out their products. This pale ale boasts being "made entirely with German Huell Melon hops, imparting notes of summer melon and ripe strawberry." I however unfortunately don't taste any of these fruity notes. I instead find the hobs flavour which is "dry-hopped to infuse the beer with additional fresh hop flavour and aroma" to be the predominant flavour which I find, personally, to be a bit strong for a "pale ale". If a hoppy beer is what you are going for I'm sure this will be a very enjoyable beer however for those looking for the the fruity flavours to be more prominent this isn't the beer for them. Thus not one I would likely repurchase.
