Subtle, sophisticated flavors from choice barley and select hops, combined with cold conditioning, give this beer its exceptional drinkability.

Brilliant clarity, bright golden in color. Pours a nice creamy head. Subtle malt and hop aroma. Crisp, clean, effervescent start with a touch of malt character and a balanced bitterness. Hop flavors linger nicely. Finishes clean, crisp and dry with a light body. Beautiful lace left all the way down the glass.

Clear golden and light copper coloured body with a small, but noticeable two centimetre tall just off-white head. Aroma of fresh grassy and herbal hops, light malt, a touch of sugars and some very mild earthy notes. Light-bodied; Strong grassy and perfumey hop flavour at first with a touch of alpha acids and bitterness with a very mild malt note of biscuits and ending with a little sweetness from honey and the grass flavours. Aftertaste is very mellow and unassuming with the honey sweetness and perfumey and slightly herbal hops making this very easy to drink and super mild - it tastes less than 4,9% abv, for sure. Overall, a nice Light IPA with some nice but mild flavours and a lot of grassy and sweetness from honey at the tail end. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Hannaford in South Portland, Maine on 28-July-2016 for US$2,29 sampled at home in Washington on 16-December-2016.

Can pour into nonic pint glass from Greg & Jane’s Beer & Wine. Appearance is clear, golden yellow, nice sparkle and finger-width fizzy white head with poor retention and minimal lacing. Aroma is light citrus and fruity hops over cracker malt base. Taste is mild citrus, fruit, resin with bitter dominance over light cracker malts. Palate is medium bodied with slick texture, lively carbonation and bitter finish. Overall, a decent look and cool lore--the pamola being the mythical creature inhabiting Mt. Kitahdin, but aroma and taste are pretty mild and the beer is overly bitter for me. Much better session IPA’s out there.

Can at The Sampler: pours golden with a white head. Aroma is lightly bready, some light pine, and fruit. Pretty simple. Not very bitter. Not very interesting.

Can at home finally getting a relaxation time. Fine light orange pour. Nose is light fruits and hops. Tastes of pineapple, touch banana, popcorn, grainy, bread, light malts. Crisp and pleasant enough.

Can at the cabin in NH. Pours crystal clear orange-gold, lightly effervescent, with a creamy white head. Simple dry bready malts in the aroma, some lightly ripened orange. Light sweet flavor with decent balance, more dry bread, faint pine, toasty pine, leaves, orange and other citrus. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Simple and pretty well balanced to finish, with lightly toasted bread, hints of grains and hay, orange rind. Basic, easy-drinking session beer - a camping beer, if you like. Not bad.

Draught at Deep Ellum, 2/21 and 2/22/14
At first I thought they gave me the wrong beer. An odd, rusty amber color with a small white head. Moderately hazy...
Not much in the nose, some light biscuity grains, bitter, mineral-like, almost metallic hoppiness.
The flavor was a strange mix of brown bread-like maltiness, bitter, straw/grassy hops and lots and lots of buttercream and earthy/dirty yeastiness.
My first thought was that this was not poured through the tap well enough, but I saw about 5 other people drinking the beer and it was late on Friday night so that was hard to believe. Next thought was that it was a freshly delivered, shaken up keg (still wouldnt explain the rampant diacetyl). Anyways, I wasn’t going to rate it, until, the next day, the bartender (coincidentally, my ex-girlfriend) gave me a free pint of it. While the haziness has mostly subsided, the dark brown highlights had not, nor had the diacetyl. Not sure what was going on but not good. Will try it again some time, however.

Strong honey smell. Malt and hoppy mouth with a little more honey, or maybe it’s just my imagination. Pours cloudy blonde with good head and lacing. Tap at Novare Res.
