Half liter bottle from Festival Northland, 3/30/21. Hazy orange, large frothy off-white head, good retention. Aroma of tangerine, leafy hops, pale malt. Taste is tangerine, mango, melon, resin. Medium bodied, low bitterness, juicy, well balanced. Nice.

First IPA from Maine I’ve tasted that didn’t send me over the moon. Not a bad beer by any means, just exceedingly mellow, crisp and bright but not all that memorable. Traces of grapefruit pith, berry, passion fruit, with a cracker malt back and gentle pine and herbal notes on the finish. Fades away into nothingness, really. Again, not bad, just...plain.

Sampled at Snallygaster 2019. Poured a mostly clear light orange color with a medium sized white head. Aroma was nice juicy hops, some light resin and pleasant malt. Flavor was light, crisp, with a little pine, resin, and fruit.

Nice to have a non hazy IPA these days - like finding a telephone booth. Pours golden with good head and lacing. Some citrus, grapefruit. Good malt backbone. Tap at Snally.
