4.7 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20Pint .9 into a stemmed NOHO 25th anniversary vast glass. Pours a beautiful orange, gold, tan, hazel brown meshed color with a sunshine background. Head is large the rising as the brew is poured. Almost invites you exclusively for the journey ahead. Aroma is fantastic, with wondrefully blended citrus, pine, and hops all seemingly to be super fresh. Taste is sweet at first, hoppy next, a tad bitter, then hoppy and organic thoughout. Such an excellent ipa here, def worth the 7.95 I ponied up for this. After taste is sweet, hoppy and inviting, with the mouthfeel medium and distinctivly fresh. This is such a well balanced ipa, so appealing to the pallate, it can not be put down! Love Maine beer.

Very nice IPA, hoppyness is well balanced and taste is quite fresh, more fresh than IPA’s usually

Well-balanced IPA (for once). There is so much more to this beer than just hops. Surprisingly refreshing for a 7% beer, which makes it great for a summer’s day. Golden amber in color, great head retention. Dry in comparison to most IPA’s, which taste a lot like grapefruit and orange peel. This one is more complex, worthy of anyone’s. Can’t get enough of Maine!

Pours a cloudy orange with a large white head slow to dissipate; rising carbonation and unfiltered. Lightly smells of hops and fruit like pineapples masked by piny aroma. Easy drinking, lightly bitter with this wonderful sort of creamy mouthfeel. Some citris flavors quickly masked by piny hop finish, leaves your mouth dry with no bad after taste and wanting more. Great effort by Maine beer co.

Bottle, with many thanks to javit - even if he’s banned now... Pours deep orange/green, love seeing green in an IPA’s colour, shows that something went VERY right at the brewhouse. Beer is quite cloudy, with a very thick, very persistent, and wonderfully marshmallowy head. Nose is peach, apricot, madarin orange, grapefruit, light pine/spruce/cedar as well... Flavours of white peach, very slight tea character, but then I get tea from most IPAs, and I appreciate that there is so little here. Grapefruit and nectarines predominate in the mouth, along with a nice cedary wood note. Not sappy, very "juicy" in the finish - just what I like in an IPA.

Fantastic example of an ipa! Pours dark yellow with a nice white head, excellent lace. Huge citrus aroma, I want to take a bath in this. Medium / light bodied, sweet caramel with a slight hop bite. Wow!

500ml bottle from a trade, thanks cp45!
Bottled on 03/26/13 - Pours clear golden colored with a large foamy head. Nice citrusy and floral aroma with lots of fresh hops, exotic fruits, lemon, pine and resiny notes. Taste of zesty floral hops, citrus, lemon, exotic fruits, crisp malty notes and hints of resin. Finish is malty and warming with some crisp bitterness and fruity hoppy notes. Great, quite fruity and floral IPA with a malty backbone.

A real solid IPA. Pours clear amber with a white lacing head. Very nice pine, citrus, and fruity aroma. The flavor has a nice sweet beginning with the hops coming along. Very well balanced and easy drinking.
