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!

Bottle shared thanks to Thijs. Hazy dark golden with almost white head. Sweet malty in that classic nice US way, peach, weedy hops, toffee, fruity and herbal hops. Solid medium sweet and quite bitter. Solid medium bodied. Good. Probably better fresh, but still good.

(Bottle, 0.5 l, thanks tiong, at Arde, 20200606) The beer poured amber and nearly clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had pineapple, fruitiness and tangerine. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were pine, grapefruit, tangerine, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was hoppy and bitter. A tasty hoppy brew with proper bitter finish.

500ml bottle. Slightly hazy golden, white head. Aroma of citrus fruits, pine, malts. Taste of citrus fruits, grapefruit, pine, orange peel, light malts, nice bitterness. Medium body. A very clean well made IPA, definitely more west coast. Lovely.

Cloudy dark yellow color, thin head. Nose is very hoppy and fruity. Strongly hoppy, citrusy and floral. Bitter and dry finish, but still smooth and fruity. Nice stuff.

500ml bottle. Minimally milky, orangey, bright golden colour with average to huge, thick, frothy to creamy, slowly osteoporosing, moderately lacing, white head. Intense, citrusy and tropical fruity, slightly piney, hoppy aroma, sweet-ish pale and caramel malty background, notes of orange, lemon, rather unspecific tropical fruity flavours, some pine, pineapple, whiffs of grapefruit. Taste is citrusy and minimally tropical fruity hoppy, slightly dry piney, slightly biscuity, pale and caramel malty basis with little residual sweetness, minimally diluted notes of orange, madarine, lemon, a touch of grapefruit. Quite watery texture, super-soft, smooth, silky palate, fine and gentle carbonation. Very clean, superbly balanced, well crafted, highly drinkable, excellent mouthfeel - more West Coast- than East Coast-style to me.

Bottled 04/28/20. Dark gold, clear, thick white foam. Smells hoppy. Taste is very clean. Citrus, nice hoppy bitterness, traditional. Extremely well made. Very nice to repeat classic IPAs when done this well. Such a difference to the haze bombs.
