Commercial Description:
Maine’s first and only bottled year-round American Style Pale Ale. By style, American Style Pales tend to have a slightly lighter body, a more assertive hop flavor and a crisper finish (the best example of an American Pale Ale is the Sierra Nevada Pale Ale).

A slightly hazy orange beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet and OK hoppy. The flavor is sweet malty with light hoppy notes as well as light citrus notes, and a lightly bitter end, and with a thin body. Not enough of most everything - yet nothing wrong.

Bottled. Clear amber, no head. Piney orangey hop aroma. Sweet with some paper and syrup as well as caramel. Extremely simplistic malt character creating a very hard mouthfeel. Completely lacks ambition. American microbrewing at it’s worst.

This is a fairly light APA, but tasty and refreshing nonetheless. The aroma isn’t very strong, a mild caramel with grapefruit and resinous hop scents. Light bodied, it has a sweet caramel malt flavor with a nice balance of pine, grapefruit, and lemon zest bitterness. Nice lingering bitter finish. With a 5% abv, this is good session material.

12oz bottle-pours a foamy to rocky light tan head and cloudy orange/gold color. Aroma is sweet medium malt-caramel, secondary hops, fruity. Taste is sweet medium malt-caramel, hops with some bite. Good carbonation.

2005 bottle at Julios Spring Beer Fest, 4/02/05. Talking with the head brewer while sampling. Dark caramel-amber color, small amount of white head, well-retained. Slight glassiness to the body. Low lacing. Aroma of floral hops, sweet, sugary pils malt, caramel malt, a touch of toasted malt and just a well-rounded sweet, creamy body. Fairly simple, not much fruitiness, but the low hops are enjoyable. Substantial, medium body, low carbonation and a moderately sweet finish, with a touch of minty/herbal bitterness.
