Reviewed from old notes.
22 oz. bottle.
This one was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was semi-golden hazed over yellow color with a slight transparency about it. Carbonation was seen rising at a moderate pace. One finger white foamy head that dissipated within less than a minute. Soapy lacing was left in the wake.
The smell started off with a blueberry syrupy sort of effect. Rich English-like malts combine to beef up a light crisp setting.
The taste was pretty much the same with a light spicy character to add a bit of balance.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. The carbonation was decent for the style and for me. There was a slight creamy sort of blueberry texture rolling over my tongue.
Overall, definitely one of their better brews and one to have again. Though slightly missed by me, hopefully one day I’ll get back to Maine to have this again especially in the Summer.
