Tap at a pizzeria in Portland. Hazy golden pour. Nose is grapefruit and biscuits. Tastes of biscuit, pine, grapefruit, lemon zest and orange peel. Straightforward IPA not much but fine enough

Sampled at the brewery, pours a muddy brown, no head. Looks like flat rootbeer. Nose has bread, hints of coffee, a little medicinal, dusty too. Flavor is sweet with brown sugar, bready, a little flabby. Not good.

Bottle shared by PinkZambia Hazy golden/orange with a big fresh citrusy aroma. Mellow soft malts and modest bitterenss smooths everything out.

500 ml bottle purchased at Spruce Creek Provisions, Kittery. Aroma has an odd yogurt or off yeast character, wet cereal grain. First taste is like lemon, seltzer water mixed with Cream of Wheat Cereal. Body is quite thin and watery. Not completely offensive but I wish I had seen ClarkVV’s review of this before I bought it. It was still drinkable but just barely. This one needs some work for sure.
Maybe a bad batch? If so this batch should not have been bottled and sold. Something amuck.

Purchased a 500ml bottle from Spruce Creek Provisions, Kittery. Mildly hazy Amber / golden color with bubbly full head. Aroma is grain, yeast and very mild pine and herbal hints.
Tastes a bit blame but still decent. No flaws. Light biscuit malt backbone with a very low hop profile that shows me a herbal hint. Mild pine essence. Lighter body with a moderate bitterness. Drinks easy enough. It reminds me of a pale ale from the late 1990’s / early 2000’s era. Maybe aggressive or bold in that era but nothing standout now.

Draught at King’s Head Pub, 4/2/16.
A moderately hazy, waxy-goldenrod yellow body is topped by a medium-sized white head that quickly fades to a ring.
Wax and crayon-like notes in the nose, with maybe a touch of metal, some dry, bland wheat character and a touch of vanillin. Not much going on here, and something is obviously quite off....
The flavor isn’t full of diacetyl, as expected, rather there’s just a trace of it. But there’s no malt character, no hops, very little yeast character even. Just a plasticy-waxy, slightly metallic, very bland, watery mess. Yikes.
