16 oz. can purchased at Tully’s in Wells, ME. Serious deep red color/ honestly damn near brown. Aroma very deep earthy hops sitting on top caramel.
The flavor is has the expected toasted grain and caramel malt with a high hop profile. The hops are earthy and herbal with maybe a hint of pine. The texture is gritty and dry. Anybody who knows me understand I feel like Amber ales are very ordinary and plain. Bissell Bros. manages to make a highly drinkable Amber with this hop profile. This is about top tier in the style for my palate.

On tap at Novare Res, Portland, Maine. A hazy, pale yellow golden beer with a dense, white head. The aroma is very piney and grapefruity, with pale malts in the back. It’s pleasantly bitter on the palate, dry and pleasantly carbonated. Grapefruit, pine cones and some flowery hints. Lasting bitter and grapefruit finish. Quenching and tasteful. 160609

For some odd reason, I thought this was a DIPA, and ended up pouring it into a tulip, woops. If I’m able to acquire again, I’ll make sure proper glassware next time.
The appearance was a glossy yellow/orange color. Light stringy lacing starts and then slides into the beer.
The smell has a light sweet onion, refreshing pine combining and giving off a slight floral arrangement underneath my nose.
The taste was bitter and sweet at different times with a quick resinous finish. There’s no aftertaste.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body. Sessionability is there. Carbonation seems appropriate for the APA style.
Overall, as an APA this is quite good as I would love to pound this on a hot Summer’s day.

Thanks Blue_rogue.
This was poured into a tulip.
The appearance was a glazed over yellow/slight orange color. The head dissipated immediately. Light lacing stuck only around the glass.
The smell had a wonderful sweet to lightly spiced combination of raw piney and grapefruit. Adequately enthralled with the substance of the bitter sweet citrus hops, a light burst of sweet onion runs into the aroma and blends wonderfully.
The taste took all of those previously mentioned flavors and amplifies to flavor. There’s no aftertaste nor finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. The carbonation hits like a good DIPA should but still isn’t overbearing. A lingering semi - soft bitter dryness rolls over my tongue.
Overall, I say this was a very good DIPA that I would love to have again.
