2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
On tap at the Broad Street Tavern in Freeport, ME:
Clean, citrusy hops sitting on dim toasty, bready maltiness...Some mango, peachy fruitiness sweetens the frail malts and provides support for the shy hops...Barely any bitterness to speak of, this remains a well-crafted, chuggable, boring beer...
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Draft. South Portland location. Ambery body, small creamy white head. Aroma is malt with a hint of fruity and i don’t know what. Bit odd, whatever it is, and carries over to the flavour. Dry notes and hint of a funky bite? Perhaps a bit on the old side? Average palate.
