Pours an amber from a tap. Nondescript aroma, grassy bitter flavor. Not well balanced. Meh.

Part of random flight in Bar Harbor. Deep golden pour small nose of pine. Tastes of pine, caramel, berry, small resin. Slightly sweet finish. Run of the mill here

Bottle pour into nonic pint glass from Spruce Creek Provisions. Appearance is clear, golden-orange, with nice sparkle, finger-width off-white foamy head with decent retention and nice lacing. Aroma is grassy, herbs, floral over malt base. Taste is sweet floral, fruity, light malt with mild dank, resin bitter ending. Palate is medium bodied with thin-to-average texture, average carbonation and balance of sweet malt and bitter finish. Overall, fair complexity in aroma and taste, with gorgeous appearance.

12 oz bottle from Kittery 7 Eleven. Clear orange color with thin bubbly head. Aroma is decent Cascade hops. Light floral tones.

The flavor is moderate amounts of Cascade hops with a pale grain balance. Pine bitterness that ends clean. Body is medium that leans on the light side. Flagship pale ale without any flaws, easy drinking. Clearly this is a fresh bottle, Maybe one day I will take a side trip to Bangor and hit up this place.
