Flown over by my sister from the States who purchased it there. Not sure what actual State but I get the impression this is probably available in a fair few of them as I don't think it was Maine she was visiting with her work. Suitably a little spicy for this seasonal styled and named brew. It doesn't really get in the way of a good hoppiness here providing some fruitiness to aroma.
