Kinipek is a traditional NEIPA coming in at 6.7% ABV with a beautiful haze. You can expect juicy, tropical notes with a very balanced bitterness in the finish. The name Kinipek is directly related to the Kennebec River which Bateau Brewing fiercely resides on the banks of.

Can pour from trade with AirForceHops--thanks, Chris! Opaque, milky dark orange juice, a couple of dark floaties, nice sparkle, thick, rocky head with excellent retention and light lacing. Aroma is strong lemony citrus/pineapple rind with lighter orange and hint of grapefruit. Taste is less well-defined citrus and tropical fruit with bitter undercurrent. Smooth, creamy texture with average carbonation, crisp finish with lingering bitterness. Nice first exposure to the brewer!

16 oz can. Aroma is orange and grapefruit. The flavor has grapefruit and a mild trace of coconut. A trace of natural vanilla. I sense Sabro here! You sneaky devil! Has a soft herbal bitterness for balance. Well crafted NEIPA.
