Maine's Best IPA is a unique blend of American hops with a British body utilizing English 2-Row Pale malts. This IPA starts with a hoppy aroma and taste; ending with a sweet finish. Plenty of Munich and caramalts are used to give the beer that golden hue. There are fifty-six pounds of Cascade Hops used in each 50 barrel batch that is brewed! Then we finish the beer with Willamette & Warrior Hops, (Warrior is a high-alpha acid variety of hops).

Part of their mixed pack on my trip to Maine. Pours a deep amber colour, clean, with a frothy off-white head and decent lacing and retention. Mild grassy nose with fruity malts. Wet mouthfeel with a little dryness in the end. Caramel malts with the hops. One of their better brews, but still, nothing too fancy.

I notice that there are reviews of Gritty McDuff's IPA from 5 or so years ago, suspect that this is a name change, and perhaps also a recipe change. Nose is standard IPA, mostly citrus and pine with very little else. A medium to darkish amber body is topped by an nice off white head that has good retention and leaves lovely lace. Mouth is fairly full bodied for an IPA, carbonation perhaps a bit low but acceptable. Good flavor on this one, nothing complicated but pretty spot on for the style, some pepper, some lemon, some pine, and big ole bitter finish. For an eastern IPA this one is hoppy! Nice job from a brewery with a silly name and very drinkable even for hop heads.
