Commercial Description:
We have followed the British tradition and created Frye’s Leap IPA which is one of the hoppiest beers in Maine at 55 IBU’s. Brewed with American 2-row, caramel 20L & 60L Highly hopped with Cascade, Centennial and Nugget and aggressively dry hopped with a mixture of Centennial and Cascade. Frye’s Leap IPA is an American-style India Pale Ale. It has a strong hop flavor and a medium body. Frye’s Leap IPA is light golden in color with a fruity hoppiness that comes from extra dry hop conditioning. The IPA is perfect on a summer day it pairs well with spicy foods, vinaigrettes and grilled vegetables. It also is great with oysters, clams and chilled soups.

great IPA, the 3 types of hops give this beer a very complex taste and aroma

Hazed orange pour with fluffy off white head and lace. Aroma of sour fruit. A metallic flavor followed by a sour. Thin with a creamy mouthfeel. Not very tasty.

Thanks to decaturstevo for sharing this one. Tall, lasting white head over a clear gold body. Perfumy floral hop aroma. Slightly metallic bitterness.

Solid IPA. Somewhatlight bodied, a bit grassy. I would definitely put in my IPA rotation if it was available here. Glad Dan picked it up and was willing to share.

12 oz bottle. Bought in Portland, ME. Underrated IMO. Excellent balance of bittering, flavor & aroma hops. Just a good, solid IPA that is not over the top. Glad to have gotten a recommendation to try it from a Sebago employee at the Whole Foods in Portland.

12 oz bottle-pours a rich off white head and yellow/gold color. Aroma is citrus/pine, medium malt. Taste is citrus/pine-slight bitter/dry, medium malt-caramel. OK/mild carbonation. Thanks Doug & Joy for bringing this one back.

12oz bottle. Pours clear golden-amber. A smooth white head diminishes to a film, leaving some lacing. Some biscuit in the aroma, overshadowed by bright, earthy, grassy, citric hops. Perhaps a little caramel sweetness, grass, lots of very crisp hop bitterness. Overall effect is quite dry. Bitterness lingers without coating the tongue. Citrus comes out more as it warms. Medium to light palate, very low carbonation, smooth. Verges on the watery as it goes. A solid, very refreshing session IPA. I was very impressed with this at the Beerfest, perhaps a little less so with the bottle.
