4 oz. draft at EBF, Boston, MA. 2019. Saturday night session. Flavor has sea salt, spice, and the squid ink makes no appearance looks like swamp water. Whoa. So salty. Interesting but intensely salty.

Can pour into shaker pint glass from Julio's Liquors. Appearance is deeply hazy, orange-light-brown-yellow (depending on the light) with light sparkle, finger-width, pillowy, off-white head with decent retention and light, soapy lacing. Aroma is muted citrus and fruit offset by light bread. Taste is sweet fruit and orange-predominant citrus along with dank bitterness, late melon rind and lingering burnt match. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, thin texture, soft carbonation until the swallow when you get a lively zing at the tip of the tongue, some nice alcohol warmth and dry, crisp, lightly bitter finish. Overall, there's a fair amount going on here but the aroma is pretty tame and the initial fruit/citrus seem to compete a little versus complementing each other. If those were resolved, this would be amazing. Still, props for complexity.

Had this as Maine Lager, whose old review I accidentally deleted. Can from my parents: Pours amber with a white head. Aroma is Caramel and bread. Taste is lightly bitter, sweet (caramel). Easy to drink but nice body.
