Description
Blaze Brewing in Biddeford, ME., sits at the end of Pearl Street, in a newly renovated former mill building, overlooking the dam on the Saco River. We provide fresh food and an ever changing draft list, with menu items and beer for all tastes and palettes. Blaze offers both indoor and outdoor dining (weather permitting), with a comfortable setting: outdoor dining offers views of the Saco River, and indoor dining offers the ambiance of vintage brick and mortar, post and beam construction, a nod to the history of the building and area, but renovated for modern comfort.

Draught at the brewery, 12/23/18.Heavily hazy, bronze-maize-golden with a fluffy white head showing moderate retention. Quite high for the style.Juicy hops and heavily fruity yeast notes combine with heavily biscuit/cracker-forward malts to give a very classic NE Pale ale impression. Clean and with plentiful tangerine, lemon, grapefruit and light lime zest and various spice from the Galaxy. Very aromatic with no resin or twang. No big pine nor any doughy yeast or alcohol.Juicy and soft in the mouth with plentiful hops, low bitterness, tons of citrus and spicy Galaxy notes. Lingering capsaicin-like character from the Galaxy. Picks up a bit of a twangy buttered papaya note towards the end that I didn't love and dries out extremely on the finish, exposing tons of cracker-like character, more than I'd prefer. Other than that, the attenuation is high, the carbonation tight and the hops juicy.

Draught at the brewery, 12/23/18.
Bronze-copper-tinted honey, clear, with an off-white head that quickly fizzles away.
Earthy, biscuity, lightly toasted malts with pepper, light honey and clean, but mineralesque water. A touch of floral/herbal hop but very low on that front. Not hugely aromatic but it's light and I like how the malts have character and stand out.
In the mouth it's got a very strong honey-like sweetness that I'd guess would be actual unfermented honey (it's not). Black pepper phenols suggest maybe a Belgian yeast, though it's on the cooler side of fermentation. Not even all that fruity, though again the malt is nicely forward with biscuit, cereal, toasted barley and honey. Lingering spicy phenol and hints of noble hops. Low, engaging carbonation and appropriate wateriness on the finish. Indeed light and drinkable.
