Our Northern Light Ale is crisp light body all malt beer. It roots are that of a European Lager yet we use our house ale yeast to ferment it. The German hops balance the pale malt to give it great drinkablility. Northern Light Ale goes well with all light entree’s, salads, grilled chicken or just a great session beer.

Draft @ Portland location. Nearly clear piss color. Weak nose is unknown fruit and generic hop. Taste is nearly the same. Body and texture is extremely light like it should be. Dry texture with weak bitterness. Not the worst I’ve had in this style. Somewhat drinkable.

On tap at Sebago Portland , ME location. Pours out golden topped with a small white head. Aroma was of light citrus hops and a little fruit sweetness. Taste was also light sweetness crisp and refreshing.

Draught, 3.8% at the brewpub. Weak grapefruity hop aroma. Hazy yellow colour. Small white head. The flavour has a nice, refreshing grapefruity hop note. Does not taste low alcohol except for a slight breadiness. Good mouthfeel for ABV.

On draught at the brewpub, 5/21/2005 with the lobster-roll himself, Muzzlehatch. Light gold, clear, wispy white head dies quickly, no lacing. Smells of light sourness dare I say there is munich malt in here? Light body, little malt sweetness, watery texture, moderate carbonation, some corn notes and a touch of bitterness. Finishes with some diacetyl and sourness, kind of an odd mix. Drinkable though, no real big flaws (other than it being very low flavored and watery). Tough to live up to the other low gravity stuff we had on this trip by this point (Marthas Volstead and Portsmouth Cream and Mild and Whale Tail Pale)

Is this a Miller Lite? I had to check the receipt to make sure. Actually it's very nutty (too much so) and a little darker than a Miller Lite, but the thin beer just didn't do it for me.
