Sebago Fryes Leap IPA

Bottle. Pours a deep dark amber with a soft white head. Fruity raisin aroma along with caramel. There was something about this beer that was just a little bit off.

12 oz bottle. Pours a hazy dark copper body with a one finger foamy white head that left tons of lacing. No visible carbonation at all. Floral hop nose with a hint of iced tea and light toffee malt. The flavor is of moderate bitter floral leafy hops over a toasted and slightly toffee tinged malt base. Lingering husky bitter finish. Mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with moderate soft fizzy carbonation. Overall, an average at best IPA, nothing special, but drinkable.

Decent IPA. very dry and not really thier finest try the red ale. good for a 1$ sampler at thier portland outfit

The aroma was earthy with aged malt and sucking candy caramel. The hops were light. Malty caramel flavor with a hint of citrus at the very end. Dry finish.

Nice sweet hop smell; cloudy golden color; interesting taste: lots of apricot along with light but very noticeable hop bite. [tasted next to Victory HopDevil] the Frye’s Leap is much lighter, more refreshing, more sting. The Victory is bolder, fuller, maltier.

Sample from bottle at the Halifax Seaport Beerfest. Golden amber colour with a mostly diminishing off-white head. Toasty and fruity aroma with pine notes. Biscuit and bread flavours with a grapefruit and light piny bitter finish. Medium bodied, lightly juicy, firm mouthfeel. Straightforward IPA.

Draft. Porus copper orange with a half finger tan head. Almost no nose. Taste is sweet, tongue prickly, with light hops. Better than bad, not great.

Rather unimpressive this one. Looks pretty good with a nice thick head and lots of lace on the glass, but everything else about the beer fails to impress. Aroma is full of hops, mostly citrus and pine notes. Flavor is completely overwhelmed by the hop finish which is quite bitter and lasts a very long time.
