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

Pours a clear amber brown color with a one finger white head. Good retention on the head. Lots of sticky lacing that sheets down the sides of the glass. The aroma is sweet with caramel malt, dark fruits and a hint of spice. The taste starts of dry and bready with a sweet malt that works into a mild hop bitterness with a spice showing up on the finish. The finish leaves the mouth sweet and tingling with spices. As the beer warms I notice some mild dark fruit in the finish. Medium body with...read more

Pours a clear dark brown with a light yellow one finger head. Head dissipates after a few minutes leaving a thin swirl of foam floating on top. Very little lacing. The aroma is big on citrus and floral hops. Very inviting and refreshing. The taste is very similar to the aroma. A nice tropical citrus hop flavor with a light floral hop that is well balanced by a roasted malt. Light to medium body with light carbonation. Watery mouth feel with a slightly dry finish. Overall a very nice bee...read more

Aroma- fantastic. Slight toast- maltyness clean hop Slight coffee over flavorful malt and a great cascadee hop. So well balanced- so easy to drink. This is a young style and there are a lot of contenders out there. I think the mid west has a great entry for a standard to compare others to. This is an enjoyable cascadian dark and that's the key point I'll hold others to. Loving it....read more
