In honor of the roadtrips and adventures that shape our lives. Tropical and apricot notes without a lot of bitterness. Bright tangerine and mango flavor featuring heavy doses of Amarillo, Citra, and El Dorado hops. Soft malt bill featuring Maine Malt House and Maine Grains.

Looks good - cloudy tan/amber with a sticky white head and excellent retention.
Aroma is mild, sweetened OJ with a spritz of lemon. Nice in that it's subtle and not just a blast of citrus. This has some malt balance but some sharp phenol notes as well that make me scrunch my nose.
Mild in IPA flavors it still qualifies for the tame end of the spectrum but could be considered a Pale ale these days.
Good hop forward flavors on the citrus side but not obnoxiously. Sugary malt has little depth but plays well against the firm but not harsh hop/ bitter.
Body is light to medium with a sourish, chalky finish but very little malt residual in the aftertaste to round things out.
Fairly drinkable IPA but not really memorable or unique.

Hazy yellow pour with a small white cap that leaves a persistent ring and some lacing. Aroma is a fresh citrus-floral mix that's pleasing. Flavors follow though a nice malt backbone plays well. Soft mouthfeel, slightly dry finish, very drinkable and enjoyable.

A decent neipa by orono. Would try it at least once. Nice look and a juicy taste that has a peppery finish. Very good brew!

Hazed, pilsner-like gold with a big, lush and creamy white head. Thick lacing. Orange sherbet and distant herbs in the nose. Muted flavors with more of the orange sherbet and a touch of burnt herbs and lingering light bitterness in the aftertaste. Mildly creamy feel with enough carbonation. Very drinkable, but the can art was my favorite part. 8/7/18 canned on date.

Pours a bright gold color, very cloudy.. one finger off white head.
Aroma is green hops and citrus.
Tatse has sweet base with orange ans grapefruit and nectarine notes. Bitterness is fairly low.
Feel is very soft and creamy.
This is a fantastic beer. Great addition to the southern maine take on neipas, just a lot more north.
