Bottle 50 cl. Courtesy of yespr. Comes as "Maine Peeper Ale". Pours a clear deep golden with a frothy and creamy off-white head leaving some lacework. Very fresh tropical fruit aroma from the hops - almost perfumy. Light in body - almost thin - very dry fruitiness but dominated by the perfumy hops. Ends dry if not overly hoppy. Very quaffable but personally I believe I would’ve preferred the residual sweetness a little higher. 150311

Pours deep amber into a tulip. Bright white conglomerate head with excellent retention recedes leaving sheet lacing. Dark caramel, resin and grapefruit aromas. Dry with upfront biscuit and resin followed by a lasting bitter grapefruit pith finish.

Mfg 12/17/2010 sampled 2/12/2010 so this bottle is about 2 months old. Pours a slightly cloudy golden amber color with a good sized fluffy white head that takes its time receding. Smells of citrus; lemons and tart orange abound with hints of bread and mineral water. Taste follows the aroma with Pine and citrus mixed with a bready lightly caramel malt base. Finish is quite dry with a lingering citrusy hop bite. Medium level of carbonation, medium to thin body with a resinous mouthfeel. Wow. I am rather impressed with this beer. I find it a tad thin, but otherwise this is a fantastic flavorful easy drinker. This one does straddle the line between APA and IPA. If I didn’t have to travel to another state to get this, I might drink this a lot more often.

This pours a slightly hazy, deep copper color, white head that laced nicely all he way down to the bottom. The nose is delightfully citric with bits of grapefruit, hops and yeast. The taste is pleasantly mild and lightly bitter with soft floral notes.The mix of hops they used is a very nice blend. Medium in body with very high, aggressive carbonation. I NOT a fan of super hoppy beers BUT, this has no bitterness in the after taste. They have inspired me to try other recipes they brew, well done Gentleman!

Bottle Picked up at Whole Foods in Portland. Pours out a cloudy straw topped with a tall cream head. Aroma was nice fresh floral and citrus hops along with some light grass. Taste was much as the aroma a nice mellow hop. A very fresh and crisp Pale Ale.

Bottle Picked up at Whole Foods in Portland. Pours out a dark amber topped with a nice cloud head. Aroma was very crisp a good combo of citrus and pine hops along with some sweet caramel malts. Taste more of the citrus hops showing through with the rich and thick malt backbone to hold it all together.

Bottle at Chris’ Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia tasting. Best aroma so far at this tasting. Appearance is cloudy dirty brown mud. Thin beige head. Lovely hops. Hops are big and tasty and PNW, love the pine. Good malts to back it up. Toast. Great.

ChrisOs ’Blue Ridge Mountains Of Virginia’ tasting! Very hazy brown beer. No head. Light crisp palate. A little dry. Good aromatic piney hops. Grassy too. Not getting much fruit but bucket loads of aromatic hoppy goodness. Finishes dry. Original rating 3.8.

On tap at Craft Beer. Slightly hazy amber beer with a big pale tan head. Light palate, smooth and airy. Delightful hops, sweet pine and mild sherbet citrus. There are subtle red fruits here as well along with mild seltzer like minerals. Background is a mild lacto creamy malt. Finishes smooth and mildly dry with a nice balance of mild minerals and bitterness. Really well joined up, complex and tasty beer! Marvelous!
