Draft @ 3 Dollar Dewey’s in Portland - Poured a quite darkish amber in color with a medium whitish head. Aroma was a nicely balanced mix of bready yeast/malt with some nice citrus/pine hops. Palate is very nice. Flavor was surprisingly mild/undistinct... a bit disappointing.

(Draft @ Damariscotta River Grill) Coppery orange body with a nice biscuit head. Aroma is mostly fruity hops, a little bready. Good lacing. Fairly heavy, full mouthfeel. Taste is fairly bitter right on through from start to finish. Bitterness overlays pleasant fruity hop flavor. Seemed a little musty as well. No alcohol apparency. Not much depth of flavor but I liked it for its lack of sharp sweetness and lack of big alcohol presence like other big IPA’s I’ve had. Much like a regular IPA except feels heavier and of course the higher ABV kick.

(Draught) On tap at the Great Lost Bear in Portland, ME. Stopped by the brewery the previous day and reception had told me that this beer was the Wee Heavy but I can tell that she was hop-wrong. Mild carbonation with tiny little bubbles. Near headless with a red-copper body. Nose is only mildly hopped. Flavour has good orange-peel with the regular Hi-hopped West Coast lingering finish. Good.

Had this on tap at Brian Borus’ in Portland. I think they just get it in this week. Pours a bright yellow orange color with small creamy head. Aroma is pungent with floral hops, some grapefruit and other citusy stuff. Flavor is dominated by hops, and grapfruit and some spice, sweet. i think this is an Imp. IPA but the bartender just told me it was an IPA. thick and heavy mouth feel. Quality beer, i would have probably rated much high if i was a bigger fan of IIPAs
