1 pint .9oz bottle into a pint glass. Bottled 9/19/19, so about 7 weeks old.

Pale golden yellow body with a huge foamy, fluffy bright white head. Leaves layers of lacing. Light carbonation.

Nice hoppy aroma, with some citrus notes.

Good tasting drink. Clean, lightly bitter with some grapefruit. Good slightly sweet malt background. Somewhat dry.

Mouth around medium, finish a dry bittersweet wash, slightly favoring the bitter side.

Overall, another quality beer from Maine, sorry i only picked up a single.

DATE: October 25, 2019... OCCASION: back from Trunk or Treat at BAC, we watch the ending of the Battle Bots with another (pun) gift from Brad... GLASSWARE: Duvel tulip... pours an impressively murky body, golden and bright.... its snow-white head is thick, fluffy and laced around like a dolly.... a picture of what an IPA should look like... massive grapefruit--does grapefruit grow in Maine? it should after Maine Beer gets done--mango, lemon, peppercorn, immense pine all make this a hop-heavy delivery... its botanical allure is appreciable, with thick fruits and a bit of cracker to boot... this sips with the weight and reward of an IPA--yet it chews and buzzes as something bigger, something worth sipping... yet before you know it, the glass is empty... what a mixture of pine and grapefruit, juicy and seasoned with pepper... engaging, rewarding, and as perfect as a beer could be...if only this didn't have the price tag it did...

Pours into an impy nonic a very light lemon-yellow color with a bit of chill haze,a half finger bone white head atop.Tangerine and orange burst out in the nose,a little grass and leaf linger as well.Crushable fruity tangerine and overripe citrus on the palate,there is a slightly firm but somewhat sweet malt base,with just a tinge of resin in the back end.It's sweetish and fruit forward but the finish drys it out just enough to keep it in the 'high end' category for me.

A Crushable IPA, just good stuff still good after a month bottled. Lots of foam. Some hop aroma. Subtle hops used. Fresh from wegman's in Rochester.

Nose is fruity with citrus like tangerine. Clearly a New England style IPA with bitter hoppiness. Definitely taste the ABV and booziness in this beer so not "crushable"

Really started off strong with its appearance but I think this beer must have been too old. I was excited to find it online but when it arrived I noticed it had been bottled a year ago, and even drinking it as soon as possible didn’t help. Looks amazing, darker golden color with great mounds of fluffy white foamy head and rings of lingering lacing that lasted forever. Nice rocky pour. Smells surprisingly faintly of some melon, orange, lemon, pineapple and mango fruity hops along with some caramel, vanilla and stronger malt aromas. I think the hoppiness faded with time. Taste follows the nose, and again the malt was dominant. Smooth, slightly sticky, mild mouthfeel and good carbonation. I think this would have been a very strong IPA but unfortunately it was just too old.

Nice looking bright yellow with a great white head. A little too much clarity for my preferences, but who cares, bc everything else is amazing.

A fruity nose: peaches, mango, tangerine. The taste is big on the fruit as well, with more orange/tangerine, a nice sweetness, and a nice hoppy bitterness letting grapefruit come through. The finish is dry and clean, as advertised.

I find the mouthfeel quite pillowy, which I didn't expect from the looks.

This is really a great beer, a perfect summertime ipa to enjoy with a good meal. Maine beer co , thank you again!!!

Pint on a plastic shaker at Taco Trio.

Appearance: A cloudy apricot color. Possible foreshadowing flavors to come. Minimal head. Carb hard to gauge because of cloudiness.

Aroma: Tropical fruits, hops. Mango, grapefruit.

Taste: Fruit leads. Mango, grapefruit and, yes, apricot. I had this with some mango salsa and it almost tasted more like mangoes than mangoes. Pine. Hops. Big, fruity, tasty, juicy IPA.

Mouthfeel: Some booze makes this a sipper. Prickly, hoppy. Not “crushable” but a fun beer to pair with a burrito, as I’m doing now.

Overall: Very nice big, juicy IPA. I don’t know why it took me so long to try this. Not super different from MBC’s other big guys (Lunch, for ex.), but a really good IPA.

Thank you SomethingDaver!

Opaque orange with a street lamp glow. Billowing rocky white foam like a meringue rests stubbornly above, and coats the glass as it descends.

Lots of peach and a little bit of sugar on the nose. Nothing quite like a glazed peach. I'm getting a touch of classic pine on the end, but very faint.

Still getting a good amount of peach, but the flavor definitely strides towards citrus notes. Oranges, on the sweeter side like navals, with a peel of lime. The pine decides to be a bit more present in the sappy finish.

Soft feeling even with it's higher carbonation as if it were fully saturated in it. Though it has a sweet side, overall this has the classic aspects of a bitter IPA complete with a lip smacking dirtiness to it.

Yup. 2 for 2, for me. I can see why MBC gets so much love and attention. This here is a mighty fine beer.

Thanks again, Dave.

Cheers

IMHO, an average IPA, hoppy, piney, and dry, but not worthy the $8 price point for 16 ounces. No date on bottle, so it was worth a try, however, I doubt I'd revisit with the cost, especially with so many others out there that are as good, if not better...again IMHO!

Happy I tried it, but at $6.50 for essentially a single serving, I don't think I'll have again. Dated March 12, drank April 17. Very, very solid APA. Smell is a little soapy, but overall a clearly well-crafted craft beverage. As someone who doesn't quite understand the pricing strategy for Sculpins, this takes the presumptuous cake. There's better beers, and there's better beers for less $$.

This beer is phenomenal! I'm not sure if I'll fork up $8 again, but I sure want to after my first indulgence of this beer.

Look: Pours a slightly hazy golden/straw color with a frothy white head and leaves great lacing

Smell: Has a citrus and pineapple smell that's backed up by a resinous pine smell and a subtle smell of hops

Taste/Feel: Taste follows the smell pretty well. You're hit with citrus/pineapple/guava up front, with a nice resinous pine flavor and a great burst of hoppy flavors. The beer is on the dry side and has the perfect amount of bitter and bite going down

Overall, I'm glad I at least tried this beer once. I know it comes in at a high price point, but I actually think it may just warrant it. This beer was brewed near perfectly and has left me considering buying another. Just in case someone is reading and isn't familiar with the bottle size, it comes in a bottle that seems slightly bigger than a pint (maybe 19 oz?), I never actually looked to see, but don't think you're only getting 12 oz for $8.

Chill hazed gold colored ale with a tall white colored head.

Smells herbal. Scent of green cardamom. Smells wood with mostly the scent of pine board. Still for an IPA not all that aromatic.

Starts out mildly sweet and mildly bitter. Strong taste of grilled pineapple. Taste of hard water. Taste more than a little like pine.

Mouthfeel is good.

Overall this is super easy to drink even if you are not an IPA fan.

Bottled on 12/25/18, enjoyed on 1/17/19. Straw-colored with light haze, capped with a big and fluffy head that lasts a good while. Aroma is bright and fruity. Pineapple and citrus hits the nose first. Some grassy notes follow that. Smells great, though it's not intensely aromatic.

Fairly dry, something of a classic American IPA flavor profile with noticeable citrus pith notes. This predates the current NEIPA craze, so it's not a hazy juice bomb. It's not a west-coast IPA either, as bitterness is pretty well restrained, there's just a light malt profile with moderate hop bitterness. It's pretty buttoned down overall and tastes more like a 5% APA than a 7% IPA. A very good beer, though not that good of a value given Maine's pricing.

First tried in early-2018, this is updated with a review.

Bottled on 12/25/18

Pours a cloudy golden straw with a faint translucence and a thick two fingers of fluffy white foam; spectacular head retention accompanied by thick, soapy lacing clinging almost endlessly to the glass; the structure of this just looks like a brilliant hybrid of west and east coast IPA styles.

Aromas of ripe pineapple, grapefruit, orange zest, and doused in tropical tones with soft, flaky malt in the background.

Taste shows tangerine, pineapple rind, tropical citrus, and plenty of earthy hops with a slight hint of florality; thin but firm malt backbone balanced to near perfection with dense, herbal hops.

Mouthfeel brings a lighter medium body with ample, nicely textured carbonation; juicy, somewhat creamy on the mid-palate with a well-tempered herbal hoppy bitterness and crisp, dry finish. This hits on so many elements of a near-perfect drinking experience so well; a spectacularly constructed IPA for the palate.

Exceptional balance all-around, from a profile bursting with tropical notes and a refined malt/hop harmony to a mouthfeel nearly beyond reproach; this is a pure example of drinkability in an IPA that rides a fine line between west and east coast styles, and does so incredibly well.

Bottled 8/21 so past its prime IMO. Still pours beautifully with a fluffy and sizable head that fades slowly leaving nice lacing. Nose is a little muted but there is nice citrusy notes. Taste is bitter tropical fruit. The feel is the highlight as it is perfectly bitter but not biting, soft and well carbonated. Wish I popped this one sooner but I can always get....*applies sunglasses* another one.

Solid, but not sure it lives up to the price point.

Looks fantastic with great lacing. Clean and dry, with grapefruit and hops dominating the flavor.

Just tapped at Loosa Brews, kegged 10/03/18. Taster pour.

Slightly hazy straw golden pour. Some seltzery carb rises and creates a thin head of white foam. As it settles, small patterns of lace stick to the inside of the glass.

Pretty tropical nose, predominance of pineapple, subtle overripe mango, and citrus fruit. A mild backbone of soft, piney hops balances the nose really well.

Fairly light profile, crisp and bitter with a re-emergence of light pineapple, but much more citrus. Lots of grapefruit throughout, piney hops and a lightly floral finish. Very good.

Super crushable. Light, sharp carbonation with a mildly bitter, bready finish and a light stickiness.

Christened my new BeerME pint glass from a 16.8oz bottle. A mellow, accessible NEIPA for those who need that: translucent haze; crisp, refreshing citrus. An elegant expression of the style to warm the cockles of a heart too long away from the upper right corner of the lower 48.

500mL bottle from Greenville Beer Exchange (Greenville, SC). 7.99. Bottled 6/5/18. Served in a Barrel and Barley teku. Enjoyed 6/18/18.

Pours a hazy, pale straw yellow with two and a half fingers of rocky white head. The foam shrinks to a small island, narrow band and several thin curtains of lace.

The nose bursts with bright citrusy hops. Tangerines, oranges, lemon lime and a hint of pineapple.

Pleasantly bitter citrus flavors. Orange, grapefruit, lime, pineapple and some cracker.


Medium feel with moderate carbonation. Mandarine and grapefruit in the finish

Another One is right- another delicious brew from Maine Beer Company. Fantastic work, truly delivering in every aspect. I appreciate MBC’s slow creep towards Georgia...

Pours a hazed gold with 2+ fingers of whippy cream colored head. Clears a bit, very good lacing & head retention

S: Tangerine, , faint breadyness

T: Tangerine, grapefruit, a little bready dryness up front, not much. Picking up a little mango & pine as this warms, along with more tangerine. Tangerine, grapefruit, a little peppery hop bite along with dryness in the finish

MF: Medium body, light carbonation, nice balance

Easy drinker, doesn't floor me, but a pretty good beer, I would have to try one fresher than 7 weeks old to think it's worth the 40 cents an ounce I was charged
