It’s always a good thing when you can have several Maine beers in the same month!  I was lucky enough to have their Pale Ale, ‘a tiny beautiful something’, a few weeks ago (review can be found here). Now comes a beer that I’ve only had one other time and boy, this one is a treat. Remember, always drink fresh and ‘Do what’s right’. Anyways, on to the review.

Appearance: finger and half of slight off white head, orange/tangerine golden in color,  nice carbonation level, and wonderful lacing left behind in the glass

Aroma: huge tangerine and citrus notes on the nose, piney resin, apricot, some subtle hints of mango, grassy hops

Mouthfeel: medium body IPA, extremely smooth and creamy, right balance of all ingredients, nice hops coating that layers on the palate

Taste: lots of tropical fruit, crisp flavors that make up a wonder balance of hops and backbone the sweet malt, one that doesn’t destroy all taste buds on the first sip but lets you savor this sensational moment

Finish: nice clean/crisp finish, citrus notes that round out the end of the beer, along with a nice kick of hops that keep the hop heads satisfied

Personal Recommendations for Food/Cheese Pairings: grilled chicken, grilled pork, roasted vegetables, sharp cheddar, a nice creamy goat cheese with apricot preserves, and of course a nice Amish Blue

Overall: 9.6/10
