Pours an opaque orange from a can. Mango and a little mint in the nose, similar flavor, cooling in the mouth. Pretty good beer.

Can, from Cambridge Wine, Medford, ME. Pours cloudy pale yellow with foamy off-white head, floating yellow precipitate, light citrus aroma, medium carbonation, mildly bitter lemon drops taste with mango-pineapple, thin, smooth body, long finish. Nice, smooth and tasty, good work despite the aesthetically unpleasing appearance.

Enjoyed on my trip to Maine, April 2018. Almost black colour creamy mocha coloured head with decent lace. Roasted malts nose, mild dark fruits, cocoa powder, molasses and hints of coffee. Burnt malt taste with good bitterness chocolate notes, molasses and a some dark fruits. A hopper imperial stout that still has lots going on and pretty rich all around.

Sample during the "New England Beer & Food Tasting" on 07/14/2018. The beer is a cloudy orange juice color with a thin white head that dissipates quickly to a dense film. Sparse strings of lace. Aroma of piney hops, tropical fruit and malt. Light-bodied with flavors of grapefruit, piney hop and bready malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a citrusy hop aftertaste. Above average overall.

Canned 9.21, drunk 10.6.18.
Glowing peach-to-copper with some light haze. White head sits at cover.
Floral pine but light and not resinous. Honeyand biscuit behind it. Not super aromatic. Regular ale yeast, it seems.
In mouth, it shows boring pine, floral, spicy hop notes with grapefruit and lemon. Alcohol strong on finish. Good attenuation and carbonation but why the F is this 7.5%? This has maybe 5% worth of flavor and super low hop character. Clean though.

Canned 8/30, drunk 9/21/18.
Soupy brass-bronze-golden. White head fades steadily to a ring.
Smells very robustly of Vic Secret with strong, fruity, bubble gum-forward NE IPA yeast characteristics. Tangerine juice with light lemon on the end give the impression of a Vic Secret smoothie but does contain a good deal of acidity, keeping it from smelling like all malt and juice. Cracker malts are surprisingly sparse, yet notable, given the Maris Otter usage. No resin, alcohol, or flaw.
Wow, first sip is weird and unexpected. For as much hop and yeast character as they packed in to the aroma, and the sparse malt, the flavor is full-on malt with no bitterness and surprisingly little/no juiciness. Intense bubble gum character from the yeast approaching Tree House levels at times. Solid texture with with very high attenuation manifesting itself on the end and melon-lemon-lime flavors lingering. Could use a lot more juice character. Cracker and bubble gum linger as well. Maybe a little too focused on the New England stylistics and not enough on the hop flavors. Still pretty nice, though, and the aroma is excellent for its size. No resin, alcohol or flaw noted.

Can drunk 8/15/18.
Lightly-to-moderately hazy, bright canary-to-sunny orange. White head atop is fully diminishing to slight ring.
Nose is tangy peach-citrus with lots of unripe pineapple, light-to-moderate honey and lightly fruity yeast esters, though not big in the bubble gum department. Smells more like a traditional or hybrid IPA than a NE. Regardless of style, there's a bit too much lemon, pine and grapefruit with light resin and even some specialty malt that detracts. No alcohol or flaw, otherwise.
In the mouth it's a bit too twangy, with strong peach-papaya, heavy lemon, pine and grapefruit. Not incredibly resinous, but just lacking in any finesse or juicy/tropical notes. Perhaps too malty? Maybe too much specialty malt. That or just too much bittering. Usually don't have this problem from Citra single hop beers. Malty, borderline "thick" texture with engaging carbonation and no alcohol or flaw.

Pours a hazy straw from a bottle. Nose is of earthy funk, yuzu and tequila. It was served quite cold at first, and tasted thin, as it warmed the tequila notes dominated over everything, some citrus. Okay beer.

Pours clear light slightly hazed gold into a shaker. Bright white head with little retention recedes to skim surface. Soft and dry with hay and light malts front to back.
