Nonesuch aims to combine well-crafted, approachable beer and cocktails with the abundant bounty of Maine's local and natural resources to create a seasonally inspired menu in a lively, warm and inviting atmosphere.

Pours cloudy amber with a thick, fluffy white head. Aroma of grain, yeast, bread. Taste has typical bready notes, somewhat dry, more yeast. Palate has some modest fruit notes, peach, lingering, more of the yeastiness. Quite good.

GLB draught, 9/19/24. Clear, ruddy-amber. Small, beige head, low retention. Toast, cola, gentle roast, mild fruit. Low base malt, but no tannin. Clean. Some weird alcohol or heavy ester that is bitter and doesn't belong. Not the thinnest I've had but still pretty thin and uninspired. Vaguely toasty. Poor base malt.

Can. 19th Annual Lakes Region Brewfest. Bridgton, Maine. Aroma is mango and citrus. In the flavor, the fruit is in the front of the palate with soft herb and pine finish. Classic but certainly nothing special. 3.4

16oz can pours a clear, dark orange with some creamy white head. Nose has butterscotch, maple candy, corn, dough. Flavor is really just cream ale with a hint of maple candy. Finishes off dry, lightly creamy.
