I'm disappointed. As a local, I hate to give this review, but just about everything about it is off. Never tasted anything quite like it, and that isn't a good thing. It doesn't feel or taste like a pale ale.

. A deep orange color with good carbonation
Slight malt smell
Watery fruity taste, and no hops. Not a good combination for a pale ale
Well carbonated and light mouth feel
This does not seem to meet criteria for a traditional pale ale.
Taste seems to dissipate after a few sips. It's strong point is the carbonation.
Wish the folks at Bigelow well, but they need to improve their product

Purchased 22 oz bottle from Beverage Mart in Skowhegan, ME on 07/19/14 for $4.99(they also sold Dementia Dog from Bigelow, an IPA for $7.99 for a 22oz bottle) poured into a pint glass.
Appearance- poured copper, gold- spot on for what I expect from a pale ale; no head or lacing on the side of my glass, appeared to be very lightly carbonated. Pretty to look at.
Smell- no hop aroma, a lingering yeast aroma- not what I expected from a pale ale
Taste- no distinguishable hop flavors, no characteristics that clearly define this as an American or an English style pale ale(lack of American hops, no pine, fruit, citrus; lack of English "earthiness" from the hops or baked bread flavor from yeast) almost had a phenolic aftertaste reminiscent of a German style wheat beer, very estery- similar to a too warm fermentation temperature
Mouthfeel- thin, very low carbonation-
Overall- Maine has some great options for microbrew, and in the 4.99 for a 22oz bottle range, I don't feel that this is the best option. It is possible that I got a defect bottle, but I probably won't shell out $7.99 for their ipa. I hope that the product that the brewery is putting out is just a part of their growing pains as a new brewery because I love to see small breweries succeed in rural places, but this beer was sub-par at best, and can only be described as bland. This would be a great introduction to craft beer for a bud, miller, coors drinker, someone who doesn't want flavor. I wouldn't drink this one again.
