Pine & resinous aroma.

Citrus pith, resinous, orange, floral & grapefruit tastes with a malt backbone.

500 ml bottle purchased from Maine Brewing Beer Company. Bottled on 04Mar25 per the label. The pour is a hazed yellow orange with a pretty one inch white thick foamy head that falls slow with nice lace. The aroma is orange citrus, strawberry fruit, floral and a hint of pine. The taste is super clean with citrus floral hop that moves towards the pine with soft bitterness carrying the finish. The palate is medium bodied with soft natural carbonation and the pine drying finish. Really nice IPA, exactly how I like them.

Bottle. Opaque golden pour with a white head. Nose os pine, citrus zest and weed. Taste is slightly sweet upfront, sticky booze and light honey show, then the finish is pleasantly bitter and somewhat dry. It also shows fruity, resinous and citric hints. Medium bodied with soft carbonation, solid old-school American IPA.

Bottle from Beer Boutique, New York. Gorgeous classic West Coast IPA with piney hops, grapefruit, malt, caramel, and orange. Sweetish flavour with a medium bitterness. Body is medium. I miss this style of beer these days, so this is a most welcome find.
