Bottle @ home, courtesy of satchboogie. Very generous bonus, thanks! Pretty cloudy, burnt orange appearance with a creamy, white head. Moderate pale, light wheat malty aroma with a nice moderate presence with notes of grapefruit, orange, pine, and mild earth. Creamy, nice malty body with a good, fresh, grapefruity, orange, moderately piney flavor. Super easy drinking and quite tasty. I like the simplistic bottle with the rough paper label. I’m looking forward to trying more by these guys in the future.

Pours black into an English pint. Conglomerate head with excellent retention recedes leaving scant sheet lacing to pancake surface. Sweet burnt chocolate aromas. Thin with upfront smoky chocolate and a lasting dry, sweet hot chocolate and resin finish.

Bottle thanks to finol. Pours dark orange. White head. Sweet tropical, almost childishly sweet aroma. The taste has the same qualities, but nicley balanced with some caramel malts. Unbelievably drinkable. Very clean. Superb stuff!

Location: 500 ml bottle from State Line, 5/3/13
Aroma: The aroma is quite fruity (peach, apricot, mango, etc), with some grassy hop notes
Appearance: It pours a hazed yellow-golden color with thick, frothy white head and heavy lace
Flavor: It has some crackery malt, it is grassy and fruity, with a light-mid bitter, lemony finish
Palate: The body is light-medium, it has fairly lively carbonation, and a lightly dry finish
Overall Impression: After trying a bunch of other Maine beers in the last 6 months or so (since they came to NYC/NJ) I wanted to give Peeper a re-rate to see if my opinion had changed. Honestly, it hasn't changed month. This is a solid, fruity Pale Ale, but in the Maine APA debate, it isn't up to the level of Mo for me.
3.7: 7/4/7/4/15
Location: 500 ml bottle from Grand Cru in Rhinebeck, 10/21/11
Aroma: The aroma is fairly mild, mostly tropical fruits with a little bit of perfume hop notes
Appearance: Pours a cloudy golden-orange color, a frothy white head, and good lacing on the glass
Flavor: The taste is hoppy, but less citrusy, it is pretty sweet, with a dry/hoppy bitterness to the finish
Palate: The body is light-medium, the duration is average-to-long, and the carbonation is fairly soft
Overall Impression: This was a solid American style Pale Ale. It definitely works on the American hops level. I found it to be pretty good. I like the citrus hop component that is present here. Well-made.
