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.

473ml can. Hazy, yellow-ish, dark golden colour with small to average, frothy to creamy, osteoporosing, minimally lacing, white head. Juicy, tropical fruity and resinous, hoppy aroma, oaty and wheaty malty background, notes of guava, passion fruit, mango, a minimally cheesy touch of durian, some orange and mandarine. Taste is moderately bitter, tropical fruity and slightly citrusy fruity as well as resinous, hoppy, oaty and wheaty malty basis with low residual sweetness; initially more tropical fruity notes of mango, guava, some passion fruit, increase of citrusy flavours (somehow from the downside), with some zesty bitter and minimally tart-ish, citric aspects, lemon, orange peel, later a touch of lime peel as well; the tropical partition becomes widely replaced by citrusy flavours in the finish, some resin throughout just as weak cheesy overtones.
Creamy-oily texture, smooth and soft, minimally greasy palate, fine, dense, creamy, mildly prickly carbonation.
Immensely creamy texture, rich and manifold, evolving development, some blurred, frayed, "imprecise" fruity flavours - great!

Bottled at Ambasada, courtesy of Severinac somehow, with Krpan, Hrabren and others. Huge aroma, well balanced, woody, caramel, raisins, hazelnut, dried apricot, peach, sweetish, light vanilla, light orange touches. Lean, lighter than expected smooth, dry taste, caramelly, fruity notes, light alcohol, lightly tart notes, well hidden alcohol, actually quite lovely!
