Found this one bottled in Belvidere, Illinois. Pleasantly surprised by this one. A little cloudy, dark yellow pour with a lacy, white head. Wheaty, grassy nose with a bit of sweet apple, light, sweet taste of clover honey, light hops and lemon. Nice! My first Maine beer.

Cloudy gold with a medium whtie head and minimal lacing. Nose of light malts and hops, and not much else. Mouthfeel moderate, and flavors of sweet malts, light hops, and a touch of caramel. Slightly sweet finish. Simply ordinary.

I wasn’t sure, until seeing the classification here, if this was a "stock ale" type or an export lager. It was light enough for lager, but it did have many ale characteristics. Copperish color with medium head. Aroma was lightly caramel with some grassy hop. Flavor was burnt sugar and butterscotch, the latter of which detracted. Not much hop, just a touch of citrus, leading to a semi-balanced finish. Palate was initially quite light and dry, not watery, but it got sweeter the further I got into it. Fair but nothing to write home about.

Nice dose of hops. Thought I would give it a shot and I was fairly pleased. Fairly good balance and nice finish. Not bad, however I don’t know if I will buy it again.

Light aroma of grassy hop. Light golden amber color with a white head that didn’t last long. Medium mouthfeel. Starts lightly malty and is balanced by some hops. A nice flavor, a bit nutty.
