Nice hazy orange coloured body with a bright amber glow and a nice thinnish off-white head - a very nice look and a good APA from the sight. Aroma of lightish hops (nothing strong), some caramel, floral scents and a touch of malt - nothing strong or overpowering about this one at all. Medium-bodied; Some hoppiness at first with a grapefruit and almost piney taste and a very mild and muted malt backbone with a subtle sweetness from apricots at the end. Aftertaste shows some very subtle hops as well, but a good well-rounded character and mild sweetness. Overall, not a bad beer in the slightest, and if anything, a bit too mild - but this style has been overlooked in terms of going far too hoppy and malty, so this is about right for the style! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Chevy Chase Wine & Spirits in Washington, DC on 15-February-2010, sampled at home in Washington on 03-March-2010.

Pours clear amber into a shaker. Bright white head with excellent retention. Sour malt aromas. Sweet caramel upfront turning sour and bitter in the lasting finish.

On draught at Hank’s in DC. Golden color, not much head. Slight citrus aroma. Medium body and medium hops, OK bitter finish. Drinkable, but not much character.

Pours clear copper with thin off white head. The mild aroma has modest vague hoppiness and one dimensional malt. The taste seems malt forward with light roasted malts to moderately roasted and then with a touch of crystal malts. The hops are there but just there and on the vague side.

courtesy of cigarcitybrew. Pours golden with white head. Aroma and taste, grainy, with possible fruit notes. Light hops with forward grainy/grassy mouthfeel

Hazy amber with a small white head. Aroma has a little bready malt and weak citrus hops. Dry, citrus hoppy flavour, and quite bitter, not quite what the weak aroma promised.

Bottle shared by cdumler that apparently came from the Total Wine in Chantillty, VA. Hazy peach color with a small head. Decent lacing. Grain, caramel and citrus aroma. Taste of strong grain with notes of caramel, citrus and tea. Thick, papery mouthfeel.

Golden-amber colour. Aroma of caramel, toast, some diacetyl. Caramel palate, some diacetyl, toasty but balanced. The finish is relatively dry. Good, honest Maine brew.

Bottle. Pours a dark amber with a pretty big, fluffy head. Aromas are caramel and apple juice with a touch of grass. Flavor has a funky mix of toffee (didn’t see that coming) and crisp citrus hops. Comes off as fairly bitter and nciely refreshing.
