The wife's choice while visiting 2 Feet Brewing & perusing the eclectic food menu. Hazy amber, lingering skimpy head. Strong raspberry & mixed berry nose over a bit of dry malt. Taste is stronger & brighter raspberry dominant, itchy malt, off-dry, aspirin bitterness lingers on the finish. Just a little wish washy. Good.

Pint with lunch somewhere in Bar Harbor Maine with the wife. Pale orange gold, frothy stiff pour. Orange juice pulp, a bit yeasty. Orange pump juice, pith salad, creme, light veg. Frothy, low but consistent carb. A touch boozy. Felt like I saw this option in every other restaurant. Didn't feel it. Small pours would be easier.

Can pour from trade with Johnnnniee via The Packie--thanks, John! It's a cloudy light brown-dark yellow with light sparkle, 2-finger width foamy white head with good retention and nice rings of lacing. Aroma is strong florals and pineapple-ish. Taste is strong sweet candied fruit, reminiscent of pineapple. Mouthfeel is medium side of light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture (thanks to the lactose), soft carbonation and crisp finish. Overall, they don't quite nail is as pineapple, though it is definitely a sweet fruit and pretty tasty. Not complex.
