12oz - Toffee colored liquid, decent head, small bubbles, hops on nose, nice flavor. A good ale.

Bu à Great Lost Bear à Portland, Maine, en fut (20 oz). Rousse orange, mince collet avec de la dentelle. Arome d’houblon de fruits du vergés un peu sucré, pas trop amère. Goût bien amère d’houblon faiblement sucré, un peu de pêches. Assez solide!

Nice APA, bordering on an IPA. Orange/golden in color with little head in my small tasting glass. Aroma is light, floral and citrusy. Orange and Grapefruit. Flavor is dominantly hoppy, with the light malt holding the hops up. Taste’s like some simcoe are in here, but I can’t verify that. Light bitterness and a soft palate make this an easy drinking, light refreshing beer.

pours with a good inch of head into a 16 ounce pint glass. some lingering lacing on the glass and a light foam remaining in the glass. The aroma is muted with little hint of the strong hopping the is prominent in the mouth. Slight raspberry notes and yeast; like raspberry scones. Pleasant but a little too subtle. Straightforward IPA in the mouth. Nothing exciting, nothing to disappoint. Well balanced bitterness. Flavor does not linger very long. Overall quite acceptable.

Pours a lightly hazy golden amber with a bubbly off white lightly lacing head. Aroma orange, pine, sweet caramel and biscuit malt. Flavor of grapefruit, pine, various citrus, earthy and some caramel malt.
