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!

On tap into taster cup at Craft Brew Race Portland. Appearance is yellow with no head, sparkle or lacing. Aroma is strong crackery malts with yeasty tart component. Taste is as aroma. Palate is light-to-medium with thin texture, average carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, a well-crafted, good representative of the style, but not my favorite style.

On tap into taster cup at Craft Brew Race Portland. Appearance is opaque, cloudy dark yellow with thin ring of off-white head, no sparkle. Aroma is herbal; a little bit grassy and light scallions; mild pine, only background fruit. Taste is mild initial fruit but mainly strong, flavorful herbal (though not musky armpit), and pine. Palate is medium bodied with silky texture, average carbonation and crisp, dry finish as taste. Overall, solid aromas and flavors with fair complexity. Good.

On tap into taster cup at Craft Brew Race Portland. Appearance is very cloudy dark yellow-light brown, no head or sparkle. Aroma is strong citrus, grapefruit. Taste is strong grapefruit and citrus with nice balance between the two flavors and between sweet and bitter; hint of herb. Palate is medium bodied with smooth texture, average-to-lively carbonation, some spiciness, and finish as taste. Overall, good stuff throughout the sip; no peaks and valleys.
