Description
When we started this company, our goal was to keep it as straightforward as possible: to craft flavors and experiences that the people of Maine hadn’t had before, and serve them as fresh as possible. Over the years, as the business has grown, we are now able to share our beers with people in other areas – regionally, nationally, and internationally – but Maine always comes first. We strive to take care of those things closest to us, and let that radiate outward: our staff, our processes for making beer, our tap rooms and loyal customers, and the surrounding communities that support us. Everything we do is in support of these things, we are nothing without them.

Can to lager glass.
Appearance: golden yellow color with a good transparency about it with a two finger white foamy head which gently died off and left some messy sticky lace
Aroma: spicy Saaz-like hops with some earthy and floral hop accents over top of some clean bready/biscuity malts
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas to a fine spicy to sweet blend; finishes crisp, smooth and spicy hopped
Texture: light to medium bodied - maybe a touch closer to light bodied; sessionable; good smoothness along the tongue; good carb level
Overall: they're calling this a German pils but I somewhat wonder if this is closer to a Czech one? Hmmmm...either way, I'd definitely return to this.

Can to English pint glass.
Pre-Disclaimer: Upon opening, there was a bit of an explosion, but I was able to contain the mess for the most part so here's the rest:
Appearance: dark brown close to black color with a finger and a half's worth of khaki foamy head which really took it's time to dissipate then leave some super light lace
Aroma: rich creamy dark chocolate with roasted earthy coffee sweet creaminess and some cocoa powder
Flavor: matches the prior noted aromas to sweet to bitter to bittersweet quality; finishes creamy and smooth and rich
Texture: medium bodied; slightly sessionable; smooth velvety creamy toned accents along the tongue; nice low carb as expected
Overall: despite an explosion in the beginning, the rest of this turned out pretty well done. Hope I can find this next St. Paddy's day.

US Pint can from Benny’s place, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a murky golden orange colour with a short-lived, frothy white head. The aroma is grainy, light orange tangerine, light herbal. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a fresh, crisp, juicy orange citrus, herbal, big dry hop bitter palate and a long bitter finish. Over medium bodied with average carbonation.
