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!

473ml can @ Pien Shop, Helsinki. Brewery tick. Canned 123120... My own fault for not checking this before buying it. Poured cloudy orange in color. Canned fruits, citrus, grapefruit. Tired feeling but manages to stay interesting somehow.

Can dated: 03/31/21. Traded by tfontana. Much thanks Bubba! Aroma is soft herb, weak citrus and grass. Decent balance between herb, grass, citrus. Mild malt backbone with almost no bitterness. The texture is a little flimsy. Just ok. Probably fared better 40 or more days ago.

Can (3/31/21) pour from the brewery in Portland. It's an opaque, dark yellow-light brown with light sparkle at the edges of the glass, finger-plus width white rocky foam head with excellent retention and decent lacing. Aroma is strong mix of musky/cooking herbs, grapefruit, and citrus. Taste is strong herbal dominant over generic sweet fruit and malt backbone. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, frothy texture, soft carbonation, late alcohol warmth and crisp, very dry finish with mild yeast and bitterness. Overall, aroma is more interesting than taste. Alcohol is basically hidden; a bit thin. Good but not spectacular.
