COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Maine’s first and only bottled year-round American Style Pale Ale. By style, American Style Pales tend to have a slightly lighter body, a more assertive hop flavor and a crisper finish (the best example of an American Pale Ale is the Sierra Nevada Pale Ale).

Golden and clear. Nothing other than some hops in the nose. Nicely balanced flavor that finishes mildly bitter.

Nice burnt-orange appearance with a one inch, off-white head. Great Brussel’s lace. A clean, fruity finish. Not fantastic, but worth a try.

FROTHINGSLOSH (3209) - GREENSBURG, Pennsylvania, USA - FEB 4, 2006
UPDATED: AUG 26, 2007 I got this beer through my beer club. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a copper color with a medium sized yellow-white head. The aroma is light floral hops with light tangy malts underneath.The flavor is light floral and fruity hops with light malts underneath. There is a sour nutty flavor on the finish. A very pleasant if unspectacular beer.

crazyvin (1536) - New York, USA - FEB 4, 2006
pretty mild for a APA but no bad. A golden-yellow hue slightly opaque. Thin white head. Aroma was mainly hops but with a mild sweet malt note. Flavor was a watery bitter hop with some sweet malt but it was mainly hoppy.

IMtheOptimator (1161) - Bethel, Connecticut, USA - JAN 31, 2006
I don’t remember who brought it to the January gathering, but I think it was Mullman. Anyway, on with the rating. Poured a pale amber with a fizzy off-white head. Bubble gum and grapefruit hops aroma. Flavor is one-dimensional hoppiness with a toffee finish. Light, pretty straight-forward, not bad.

ELPADRINO (70) - The Woodlands, Texas, USA - JAN 28, 2006
Pours cloudy yellow with 1 inch head. Weak hops aroma. Taste is bitter hops with a dry bitter aftertaste. Decent body, but too much acidity leaves the taste with hints of detergent.

In the bottle. Thanks to pman for this one! A January 2006 Beer-of-the-Month Club selection. Pours a pretty much expected rich gold color that just falls shy of amber. The head is thick, white and full of large carbonation foam bubbles. Residual lacing is pronounced. A mixed aroma that is a little pungent from the hops, but also a smell of cotton candy. Interesting complexity. Medium hop bitterness. Medium carbonation. Sort of a metallic mouthflavor resides far too long on the tongue. Has a lingering bitterness as it warms. The metallic taste hurts the beer.
