16 oz. can purchased at Spruce Creek Provisions, Kittery. What to guess the color? Yep, hazy Violet. Aroma is weak berry, nothing more. Ok, it is a cream ale... Wasn't expecting much and it meet my expectations. A VERY mild blueberry essence with some bready malt. Smooth mouthfeel. Nothing wrong here in anyway, just lacking in character.

Canned 5/20, drunk 6/16/18.
Fully cloudy, hazy, deep cantaloupe-copper-orange. Butter-colored head is huge and well-retained.
Grapefruit mixes with cherry and spicy, mineralesque Galaxy to good result. Lightly earthy notes from the hop with biscuity malts behind it. Clean. Low malt character and no booze or resin. Light, however, with a very low aroma strength.
More orange rind, marmalade and grapefruit than Galaxy character. Very dry, a bit more soft malt is immediately wanted, as well as some light honey-like sweetness. Kind of watery, loose, thin...Bitter and earthy on the end with tons of cascade-like character (old, aged hop). Clean, though, with no alcohol. Just badly lacking in malt depth.

16 oz. can without any date stamping. Purchased at 7-11 Kittery, ME. Vic cloudy gold with some settlement floating in the liquid. Aroma is light fruit and light florals. The flavor shows the floral and mild fruit with a thinner body. Not watery but definitely thin. Bitterness is very mild, floral ending. Really about average overall.

4 oz. glass at the brewery. Appearance reveals a clear golden color with a thin white head. Standard aroma of hay and malt. Good flavor of hay, malt and citrus. The body is extremely light, almost watery texture. Easy carbonation level.

It is hard for me to get excited for this style but…. This brew is about on par for what it should be. The super lean body is a negative. Otherwise ok.

Draft at the brewery. 4 oz. pour. Slightly hazy gold color lasting head. Aroma of toasted malt, big citrus, hints of pineapple. Appropriate lighter body, crisp/ active carbonation level.

Pretty well balanced and despite the IBU level, it offers almost no bitterness after the sip. Very nice hopped up lager that shows juicy citrus and is extremely easy to drink. This should be a brew they put into cans. If they had I would have bought a 4 pack. By FAR the best brew I sampled from this brewer.

4 oz. glass at the brewery. Moderate pine and citrus hops & weak malt aroma. Medium body with a slick texture and soft carbonation. Bitterness is standard for a single IPA. But it was balanced in a bittersweet malt / hop profile. The body was pretty lean on almost falls to the watery side.

They are still a young brewery and overall this IPA was decent. Making the body hearty with some oats or more pale grains would do this wonders. Still drinkable.

4 oz. glass at the brewery, slightly hazy gold, thin lasting retention. Aroma is grapefruit and pale grain, mild bread. Flavor is mild sweetness with a good amount of grapefruit rind. The bitterness is substantial but does show a crisp clean finish.

Lighter end of medium body, refreshing. Overall, about what I expected. Respectable APA.

4 oz. taster at the source. I like that the brewery donates a portion of the proceeds to a child with cancer. As for the beer, it will not surprise you. Aroma is maple, toffee, maybe light notes of nuts.
