This brew is a clear dark copper color with a medium off-white head that diminishes gradually to a film. Stringy lacing. Citrus, hops and malt in the nose. Medium body with flavors of grapefruit, hops and caramel malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a fruity hop aftertaste. Decent overall.

Draught. Opaque dark brown with very small frothy beige head, cherry/mocha aroma, low carbonation, tart wine taste with woodsy flavor, thin body, long tart finish, with wood aftertaste. The port barrel has dominated the beer totally.

Crisp, slightly hazy golden and lightly copper body with a thinnish, two centimetre tall off-white head. Aroma of fresh hops, pine, citrus, resin and dank hops all with a touch of sweetness noticeable in the nose. Light to Medium-bodied; Assertive fresh hop flavour with a lot of grass, hay, pine, grapefruit and very pungent citrus flavours, all with a well supportive malt backbone and some sweetness from apricot and peaches. Aftertaste is well-balanced with a great fresh hop flavour, but an equally present malt and sweetness that shows very well throughout. Overall, a very nice IPA with a great profile and amazing balance - surprising and delicious! Great to sample, given this is my first trip to Maine and I was able to find this at a 7-11! I sampled this twelve ounce can next door to my hotel at a 7-11 in Portland, Maine, available as a single can for US$2,29 sampled in my hotel room a few minutes later on 28-July-2016.

Can at The Sampler: pours golden with a white head. Aroma is lightly bready, some light pine, and fruit. Pretty simple. Not very bitter. Not very interesting.
