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!

On tap at Meadhall Cambridge. Hazy amber colour lasting white head. Big hoppy aroma and flavour. Some bitterness on the finish. No dankness. Not really on the Neipa style. Fresh tropical fruit aroma. Big flavours but keeps them all control. Easy drinking but will get you drunk. Good fruit juice. Pretty good.

Pours a slightly cloudy, light golden yellow, with smallish, though lasting, head. Aroma is grassy, with pine/spruce hops, and a touch of citrus. Flavor is quite bitter, with strong hop-pine notes in the forefront, with some citrus, some grass. Smooth only slightly bitter finish/aftertaste. Very well-made.

16 ounce bottle. Brassy gold color. Rocky white head. Fruity hop nose is subdued. Sharp citrus and pine notes upfront. Malty backbone has toasty, nutty notes. Grassy, citrus hops in middle. Robust and full bodied. Very much West Coast in style. Outstanding!

500ml bottle pours out golden amber topped with a sand head. Nose is earthy pine some fruit hops and bread malts. Taste is more of the nice hop combo and a well balanced malt bill.

Bottle: Poured a clear yellow color ale with a nice large pure white foamy head with good retention and excellent lacing. Aroma if dominated by strong citrusy undertones with some light grassy and piney notes also noticeable. Taste is a mix of strong citrusy hops notes with some light grassy notes with light pale malt also noticeable. Body is about average with excellent carbonation. Solid IPA with almost no bitterness and lots of delicate flavours.
