Pours a crisp clear golden color with a huge lively white head. The head pours with a fizzy highly carbonated foam that reminds me of a soda. The head settles quickly and leaves a thin ring of foam around the edges of the glass. Lacing sheets down the sides of the glass. The aroma is a blast of sweet and sour apples. It has a slight tartness to it and is amazingly fresh. The taste is amazing. Tart green apples with a sweetness. The finish has a bit of a spice, maybe cinnamon. The fres...read more

Pours a dark ruby brown color with a thin off white head. Very little retention of the head as it dissipated quickly leaving just a swirl of foam floating on top. Some spotty lacing. The aroma has a sweetness to it that is very pleasing. It just has a "good beer" smell. I am getting sweet malts with a milk chocolate and a hint of bourbon. The taste is very similar to the aroma with a sweet malt flavor blending into a creamy milk chocolate and finishing with a slight hop bitternes...read more

2010 bottle. Pours clear with an eighth inch or so off deep tan foam. Retention is fleeting leaving no traces of it's short lived existence. Surprisingly effervescent. Aroma is rich molasses, sweet brown sugar, dark fruits, ideas of syrup. Alcohol and cherries are mildly represented. Definitely sweet. Taste is really sweet. Dark fruits, molasses, and brown sugar dominate the flavors. Dark fruits are mainly pointed at raisins and prunes. Big body that is thick, almost syrupy, with lig...read more

A: Deep brown with a lightb tint of red. Light brown, soft fluffy foam head. S: Roasty malt that is encased chocolate, with faint vanilla in the background. The merge of the scents comes together in almost foodie aroma. T: Initial reaction is thin-er that I would have expected. A fast merge of light toasted malt, really light molasses. Maybe a bit of chocolate and coffee, but like everything else about this brew, it is understanded. Light mouthfeel and adequate cabonation. There are some hops,...read more

Aroma- Cascade and a sweet malt background. Look- Hazy gold, with thin lace, slightest cling to glass. Taste- Forward, but not over powering cascade with a clean bitterness- no bite in the end. Drinkability- Love it. So here's the subjective nature of beer. Back before Ale bottled I would try to get to this place as often as I could because my friend lives near by and it was my only opportunity to drink this beer. It was one of the first great hoppy beers I found and loved, and I still love ...read more

Pours with a touch of cloudiness with a nice white foam that leaves rather quickly, leaving behind subtle blotches of foam. Aroma is the tale of two sides: malt and hops. Caramel malts and citrus and pine hops wrestle with each other for time on the offactories. Spice hops and a sense of bread appear. Taste is malts at the beginning transitioning to citrus, pine, and spice hops that leave resins and bitterness in the mouth. Medium mouth feel with surprisingly light carbonation. Easy to dri...read more

Aroma- Citrus! Pleasant and inviting. Look- Golden, thin clean lace, slight cling to glass, slight haze. Like the CAN says, pine, citrus, and accessible bitter bite. Very inviting. Not overpowering, easily drinkable. It's a fine beer....read more

A: As close to black, as a deep brown can be. Even the fizzy, quick to dissipate foam was dark brown. S: Chocolate sweetness is upfront. Then a good whiff of vanilla, brown sugar, and very faint smoke in the background. T: A Milk Chocolate taste hit, but the surprise is the lack of any of the anticipated sweetness. I'm surprised at the balance, almost comes off as dry. It has some viscosity but not at all cloying, probably due to the dryness. It's carbonated, and I like it, you'll have not fig...read more

A: Slight haze to this pale, golden hued brew. Pure white foam head that's full and uniformly fluffy. S: Initialy there's a pronounced sweet citrus fruit aroma. Then it quickly becomes a faded memory. T: First, impression is a soft lemony, then dry without much malt sweetness. It almost seem chewy, but it's got a light mouthfeel. Obviously it has a hop profile, and I found it to be citrus without an overpowering bitterness. O: The Maine Beer Co is a favorite, though I am way off the NE distri...read more
