We brewed this special IPA to commemorate the establishment of the Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument. We incorporated Maine-grown barley and wheat, along with generous amounts of hops with flavors and aromas of pine and citrus, reminiscent of the outdoors. Cheers to Mother Nature and all she provides us!

Reviewed from notes.
Bottle dated 01/02/2018. Consumed on 01/13/20
Poured into an English pint glass.
Appearance: semi-cloudy yellow color with a three finger white foamy head which settled off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: pineapple, piney hop oils, sweet onion hop tones, grassy hop oils; light clean crackery malts
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to bittersweet quality; finishes hop oily with piney-toned to oniony and sweet grassy spice
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, some smoothness but also a little bit oily along the tongue
Overall: nice enough AIPA I believe I "might" come back to.

Bottled 05NOV24. Pours a ever so slightly hazy golden body and a firm, frothy white head with long retention. Aroma's: citrussy hops, citrus fruit. Retronasal there's citrus, light malty grains, light bitterness. Flavour is moderate bitter with a hint of sweet. Light medium bodied. Bitterness increases in the finish, but doesn't get harsh.

Single from The Brew Shop in Arlington, bottled 11/5/24. Low-ball glass back at the hotel. Slightly opaque, kinda hazy but not totally, lingering white wash lather. Nice strong whiff of fresh n grassy citrus just as the cap came off. More direct sniffs get herbal, citrus & green tea notes. Juicy but soft bittersweet orange & a stronger white pith character. Floral middle, dusty froth, a dab of creme. Just a touch of pine on the tail, not much. Lingering bitterness on the tongue is excellent. Fuzzy, lightweight, slight acid, strong for the abv list. Great beer.
