New England Bucket List Trip Beer #95. Had to open this one because I dropped it and the cap starting to leak, and that’s how I got my 9400th rating! 12 ounce bottle from Whole Foods Portland, ME. Pours a hazy amber with a large foamy tan head. Good head retention. Aroma of rye, citrus, caramel, dark fruits. The taste is stone fruits, raisin, toffee, caramel, tinny hops, rye. Thin-medium bodied. Solid.

375 ml bottle purchased at Bier Cellar. The aroma is funky oak, vinous white grapes and a citrus under all the grapes. The body has a slightly yeasty body with Cabernet grape lingering through-out the sip. Oak is the other dominate flavor in this brew giving a very dry texture over the tongue. The oak and grape has taken over after the cellaring. Pretty nice brew if you enjoy white wine barrels.
My 200th beer from the state of Maine.

Meulemans’, Jamaica Vermont bottle: Pours black with a beige head. Aroma is a lot of wood, vanilla, bourbon, chocolate, and some fruity notes. Taste is pretty barrel-aged. This is a quintessential sipper even though it is not particularly alcoholic. Plenty of complexity. Well crafted. I would be interested in sampling more beers from this brewer.

From a can, purchased in Portland, July 2014, near Allagash brewery. Nice hazy yellow color. Tall head initially that fades, the opaque color reminds me of an ungespundet keller bier. Lots of of citrus hopes in both the flavor and aroma, but a light palate that makes this highly drinkable; and certainly sessionable, as they claim. Bright malt and bright hops is an apt description of this beer.

Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into a mug and a weizen. At the time, I was a bit confused as to what style this beer really was.
What was poured into the weizen glass yielded a far larger white foamy head that the mug. Everything else is the same.
The rest of the appearance was a dark brown close to black color. The lacing is the same in both glasses, foamy and thick.
The smell was the same in both glasses, though the banana esters may have lasted longer in the weizen. There’s a dark roasty chocolate in a stale breadiness.
The taste followed the nose.
On the palate, this one sat right at a medium in body. Sessionable? To me, not exactly as I don’t think the flavors really meshed that well.
Overall, out of all the times I’ve had this when I was living in Maine, I could never get into this beer.

On tap at the brewery tasting room. Dark amber light brown color with a smallish tan head that dissipates rather quickly. Aroma of caramel and toffee with a hint of chocolate and earthy resinous hops. Flavor follows the aroma quite well. Medium body and level of carbonation. Nice hop forward brown ale, it disappeared quickly.

Bottle from Harvest Market Pours a hazy deep straw color with a decent sized big bubbled white head that dissipates quickly like diet fountain soda. Aromas of lemon, wheat, and a bit of yeasty funk. Not much appetizing about the nose IMHO. The flavor is a little sweet a bit spicy and tart with hints of lemon and yeasty funk. Medium to light body with a moderate level of carbonation and a tart almost piercing mouthfeel. I didn’t enjoy this one very much.
