A total gusher, hazy golden orange with lots of foamy light cream color head. Nose is tart and acidic this must be infected. Some malt taste but more acidity, medicinal. Possibly some citrus hops on the tongue but not really bitter, just lingering hops. This needs a re-rate with a proper bottle.

Bottle: Pours a copper bronze color with a nice head and good lacing. The nose is lightly grassy with a fresh hop note, a bit sweet and fruity though with ample caramel malt and a doughy cookie note. The flavor is balanced, more sweet though, almost too much malt, not enough bitterness. The finish is mellow, sweet and doughy. Good nose, hoppy throughout, pronounced caramel.

Tasted as Kennebunkport India Pale Ale, and mentioning Pugsley Brewery, Portland on the label... Deep orange-copper beer, clear, with a small yellow head, fast gone; Bit solvent initially in the nose, then more classical hops. Not really overwhelming. Sweetish, caramelly taste, quite malty with a good hoppy, if nowhere bitter background. Cookies, very faint orange. Quite spritzy, carbonated MF. Light body. Only in the aftertaste, a discreet spike of metallic bitter appears. Run-of-the-mill IPA, no faults. Thanks, DA!
