A salute to the playful side of summer, we had fun with this beer! Maiden the Shade has a big robust hop character from the liberal use of 7 different varieties of hops. It s completed with a light colored malt backbone to stay in balance. Kick back and enjoy!

    12 oz bottle. Pours slightly hazy straw gold with a big pillowy white head that retains well and laces the glass some.

    The aroma is sweet bready malt and tropical fruit with some resiny hops.

    The flavor is sweet bready malt with lots of fruit and a resiny hop finish. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with smooth carbonation.

    Overall, a nice fruity resiny IPA.

    This beer totally kicks ass. I can't tell you how many times I had this brew in the last 3 weeks. Spent a week down in Eugene for Ninkasi and had it every day. Killer beer. Lovely lovely lovely! Pours an amberish golden. Head is finger sized. Nose is sweet like honey. Taste is clean, fruity mild bitterness mid-palate smooths out to something memorable. Love this beer. I will miss it this fall.

    Pours out a deep gold, decent foam, light spotted lacing .. . aroma of pine and citrus oil .. . continues to the mouth, light bark, grapefruit .. . A nice IPA but it didn't wow me .. . Let me tell you a little story about a man named Sh! Sh! even before you start. That was a pre-emptive "sh!" Now, I have a whole bag of "sh!" with your name on it.
