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 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.

Can from Tavour. Pours clear bright gold with a huge frothy white head that persisted. Aroma is rather herbal with some citrus notes. Med body or so. Flavor matches the aroma but add some lightly bready malt. Flavor is nice, tho not strong.

Tavour: nitro can: pours ugly brown with nice creamy head. Aroma is earthy and toffee. Low bitterness. Mellow rounded sweetness. Smooth nitro body. Not a great beer but a change of pace.

Aromas are a nice blend of resin, citrus, dry grain and malt. Flavors are similar to nose and on the bitter side. Enough sweet and soft carbonation to balance been done many times before but still very drinkable.
