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.

16 oz. can. Aroma has bold citrus fruit with mild bready malt. Spruce is very soft in the aroma. But once you sip, no hiding this spruce. Does have a decent malt background with some citrus as a counter point. A very good spruce ale.

16oz can from Tavour. Thick, hazy orange/golden pour, initial foamy head fades to silky ring. Muted fruity aroma with notes of stone fruit and citrus, dank. Taste amps up quickly, big fruity flavors and a healthy dollop of citrus zest. Creamy,

Can from Tavour. Pours hazy orange tinged gold with a large foamy off-white head. Aroma is very tropical, quite fruity, with light touch of weed. Med plus body. Juicy but quite bitter. Flavor is orange, pine, white grape and more. Excellent.

This beer smells and looks incredible. The flavor is very restrained in comparison to the aroma. It pales in comparison to other hazy pale ales, like Hopothecary's Sole Remedy, but for the low ABV, this is a good brew.

I get little to no nose on the aroma, but with a gorgeous color and creamy white head. The beer has a great mouthfeel and is super smooth. Unfortunately, I don't get much in the way of flavor. Maybe its just this can, but this does not do it for me.
