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!

Semi-hazy golden amber pour with a white head. Notes of citrus, orange zest, resinous hops. A well-made west-coast IPA.

500ml bottle from Tavour. Top 50 IPA, so it was on my list. Deep golden pour, light haze, with a soft, foamy white head, streaky lacing. Aroma is oranges, bready, light malty notes. Taste opens with a light bitterness, then offers notes of orange and faint pine. smooth, gentle, near creamy. I can see why this is so highly regarded.

OK, just another bitter ubiquitous IPA. Had this at mad mex. It has a slight haze on pale. Smells like typical floral hops IPA. Taste is of course big and bitter. Mouth coating terror. Yes, quite bitter, what else can be said for a beer that is terribly on style? Whew, finishes with a chewing on green ground up sappy pine cone effect. Way too much over the top for your typical lager lover. I guess you gottah be a real man to enjoy these brews, the same man that uses a heat gun for a hair dryer, heheh.

On tap at First Draft. Pours an unclear, pale, golden color, with a small, white head. The nose is aggressive resinous hops, caramel, pine, and wet grass. A little sweet, with an assertive bitterness. Medium body, with a syrupy, sticky palate. This is a bold, but not terribly pleasantly bitter IPA. Pretty nice.
