Description
Definitive Brewing was formed in 2017 when we came across lightning in a (beer) bottle. After months of planning, we were introduced to our now Director of Brewing Operations, and found an ideal location, all in a single week. Our investment group is made up of friends and family all with ties to Lake Cobbosseecontee in Manchester, ME. After 6 months of tireless efforts to transform an old scaffolding company into a production brewery and tasting room, we opened May 19, 2018 on the legendary Industrial Way.

After two years of operation in Portland, our team chose to open a second tasting room on May 22nd, 2020 in Maine's southernmost town, Kittery in the heart of the shopping district. Kittery is pillar in Maine's food and beverage scene, and the opportunity to become part of this phenomenal town was one that we could not pass up.

At Definitive Brewing we strive to provide a memorable tasting room experience for all of our customers. This is culminated by our wide variety of beers, including our Kolsch (Contee), Session Ales, IPAs, Stouts and Sours! Thank you for your continued support, and we hope to see you soon!

Can. Color: Very hazy orange, white head. Aroma: Hoppy. Fruity, candy. Taste: Bit grassy, very fruity: ripe orange, tangerine, subtle lemon, kiwi and some melon. Hints of other tropical fruit and stone fruit. Dense and smooth mouthfeel. Malty background, hints of toast. Over medium body, just below average carbonation. Moderate bitter and moderate to over moderate sweet. Some fruit candy, winegums. Quite nice but personally I prefer some more bitterness.

16 oz. can. Dated: 12-10-2021. Aroma is indeed peach and cantaloupe characteristics. In the flavor the melon, peach carries over with the addition of some grapefruit rind in the finish. Some light dry bitterness for balanced. Nice!

Can (10/29/21) pour from Beer and Wine Nation. It's an opaque, orange-juice yellow with no sparkle, finger-plus width off-white foamy head with excellent retention and patches of soapy lacing. Aroma is strong pineapple and fruit. Taste follows aroma along with lemon-lime sherbet. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with lovely, silky smooth texture, soft carbonation, vaguest alcohol warmth and finish as taste. Overall, not the most distinct aroma and flavor but good strength and wonderful mouthfeel.
