Nov 1, 2001 I miss the micro breweries in the state of Maine. This beer came in a 24 ounce bottle. I am not sure if it’s available in 12 or not? It was a good beer and everything I expected and is similar to a Sam Adams Pale ale, but fresher.

May 8, 2002 A great pale ale, if you get a good batch. I have had problems with old/stale bottles and kegs, but when it is right, it’s great.

Aug 15, 2004 I realize that they use american hops in this but I honestly think this should be considered an english pale ale or an english bitter due to its fruity aromas and flavors. Some of the esters noticed in the aroma reminded me of English style yeasts. The palate is excellent. Very smooth and exceptionally drinkable especially on tap. Very under-rated.

Jul 2, 2004 The Portland Head Light is my favorite beer at Gritty McDuffs. Probably one of the best light beers i’ve had out of a Maine brewer also. Has a nice fresh clean dry taste with a blondeish color and a great aftertaste.

May 9, 2009 Pours a dark golden like light honey, clear; forms a single finger white head that maintains a thin layer of minute bubbles on the surface. Slight, but sticky lace
Light hop floral with an equally light malt aroma. Well balanced and pleasant on the nose.
Sweeter than I anticipated, strong honey notes, nice bitter hop follow up providing excellent balance. Crisper than most pale ales with a moderate to higher level of carbonation. This is a far better beer than I initially thought. Worthy of a future purchase. I’ll probably use it for a blind session.

May 17, 2009 12 oz. single bottle from Total Wine in Jacksonville, FL. Pours a golden amber with a decent head. Aroma is flowery with hops. Flavor is very smooth, sweet, with hops and bitterness at the end. Overall, a very nice beer.

Jul 27, 2001 A very solid american Pale Ale. Nice nose, crisp initial taste which dissolves into a moderately hoppy finish, no surprises on the aftertaste.

Apr 1, 2002 Nice appearance for an IPA, beautiful lasting head with interesting lacing. Floral hoppy aroma lasting into the flavour with something a bit nutty about it. Not as bitter as I would expect.
