Draught at Darby’s, 5/29/16.
Muted brass with a moderate, glassy-like haze and an off-white head atop that receded to nothing.
Couldn’t figure this beer out at all, knowing nothing about what it was. Smelled vaguely lactic, musty and tart in the nose (ok, there’s the wheat, I guess) with light pepper and some minerality.
In the mouth it’s very bland, even given my preference to low abv session beers. Just a not-quite-right lactic and even lightly metallic character with lots of nuttiness, water and a low, loose carbonation. Maybe this one was really old? Not sure.

12 oz. Bottle from Spruce Creek Provisions. Can’t tell the age, no date coding. Aroma is weak pine, bready malts, hints of floral hops. This isn’t going to wow you but it is pretty nicely made. The malt and hops are balanced but becomes sweet and bready (again age is a question) body is the lighter side of medium with a dry pine texture. Easy and simple.

12 oz bottle from Kittery 7 Eleven. Clear orange color with thin bubbly head. Aroma is decent Cascade hops. Light floral tones.
The flavor is moderate amounts of Cascade hops with a pale grain balance. Pine bitterness that ends clean. Body is medium that leans on the light side. Flagship pale ale without any flaws, easy drinking. Clearly this is a fresh bottle, Maybe one day I will take a side trip to Bangor and hit up this place.
