A golden IPA with a thin lacing white head. In aroma, light hops with light peppery notes. In mouth, a good crisp malt with very British hops, herbaceous, grapefruits, medium bodied. On tap at Portland location, April 2 2010.

Thanks to decaturstevo for sharing this one. Tall, lasting white head over a clear gold body. Perfumy floral hop aroma. Slightly metallic bitterness.

12 oz bottle-pours a rich off white head and yellow/gold color. Aroma is citrus/pine, medium malt. Taste is citrus/pine-slight bitter/dry, medium malt-caramel. OK/mild carbonation. Thanks Doug & Joy for bringing this one back.

Pours amber into a shaker. Head quickly recedes leaving spot lacing. Mild resin aromas. Grapefruit from front to back with a lasting dry resin finish.

Tap at the downtown Portland brewpub - a solid sessionable IPA - palate-waking, crisp, grassy hops balanced with a malt sweetness that doesn’t become overpowering - quite herbal and floral, lacking the big citrus flavors that many IPAs have, which is a welcome change.

On draught at the brewpub with Muzzlehatch, 5/21/2005. 3daddict sounds a bit biased in his review. Honey colored beer, with a chill-haze (because it’s served too cold), small white head recedes to a ring quickly. Buttery diacetyl in the nose with oranges, what a combo. . .Flavor is cream and bitter hops, some dry nuttiness, mineral water, bland ale yeast, bits of fresh oranges on the end. I missed the long crisp finish, I think it was hiding from all of the diacetyl. Medium body, at least, thanks to some pale malt sweetness, with a moderate carbonation, and the least wateriness of any of their beers, perhaps.

Draft. A nice hoppy beer. Not as hoppy as a west coast IPA, but hoppier than most New England beers. Slight Caramel flavor on top of fruity hops.
