Lunch is a special whale that has been spotted off the Maine coast since 1982. She has what looks like a bite taken out of her fin, which adds to her unique character. We dedicate this beer to her determination and persistence. Keep on swimming!

Bottled (Alex, Ville, Mats tasting). Orange colour, small white head. Aroma is floral, some fruity, mild herbal and toffeeish tones. Flavour is fruity, floral, some bitterness along with also mild malts to it. Very smooth and pleasant.

Slightly hazy straw-orange-brown body, huge dense puffy cream head. Aroma and body nutty, perfumy, and soft with light toast, nuts, and caramel balanced with floral, peppery hops. A touch of dough, too. I've tried other beers with similar elements but the balance, mouthfeel, and execution here is stellar and this lived up to expectations.

On tap in Barrel Republic, Carlsbad on 19th July 2023. Light haze to the golden pour, white crust. Citrus front to the aroma and taste, mild malty base for balance, nice 'rare' Maine rate for me.
