Good night Irene. Ok, got this at the local, thought it was an IPA...is not, its a GD lager! Nose is tropical, medium amber body, good head good lace. Mouth is sticky, thick, full bodied. Very sting malt backbone over which are presented killer hops notes that are mostly tropical, deep ripe fruit. Alcohol slightly present and very warming. CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS A LAGER!!! Amazing brew, perhaps top three!

Really big nose of pineapple and orange followed by some violets. Pours a light copper body with serious head and lacing. Mouth is very tingly, medium bodied, a touch creamy. This one is all about the hops, especially flavoring hops, its bitter but well balanced with a light malt backbone. Its a treat to drink a really fresh beer and the dry hopping really comes through. Slightly sweeter than it smells with a perfectly dry finish and alcohol well masked. I hint of nuttiness. Orono brewing company is a very small brewpub making some fantastic beers.

Wonderful IPA nose, very floral and some pine, pepper and vanilla. Hazy (unfiltered?) pale orange/gold body topped with frothy white head with good retention and good lace. Mouth is medium bodied, oily/slippery and just a bit creamy. Really classic IPA flavor profile, very solid malt backbone is just a touch sweet and showcases some serious hop notes. Floral, tropical, and piney, its all there. Finish features just a hint of alcohol warming and is dry and clean. This little known beer company (which apparently rents time from the also little known Shebeen Brewing Co) has knocked one out of the park. One of the top 5 IPA's I have had.

Big ass citrus nose on this sucker! biscuit and jam undertones. Pours a lovely, though hazed, medium apricot colored body topped with a big rocky head that is white, lingers, and leaves fantastic lace, take away the haze and this would be a 10. Mouth is s touch chewy/creamy for an IPA but very nice and medium to full bodied with spot on carbonation. There are tropical hints in the flavor profile but it has some nice burnt malts backing it, the bitter hits at the finish after tropical fruit with a hint of pine. This is a damn good brew from my home state! The alcohol has a nice delayed warming.

Wow, this beer is underrated here! It starts with a very nice American IPA nose, pine forest, carmel, and orange citrus. Pours a beautiful off-white frothy head that has good retention and sits over a very clear pale copper-colored body. Far and away the best lacing I have ever seen. A solid medium bodied mouthfeel that is ever so slightly foamy. Flavor is fantastic. Its probably low-rated here because the hops are nicely balanced, its very hoppy but NOT the level true hop heads prefer. Flavor starts sweet with a nice malt back-bone and some bit of toffee with the hops kicking the back of the tongue in a delightfully bitter manner. It then shifts to a nice sweet-tart battle and seems as if the sweet if going to win but it leaves you with a very dry clean finish. Strong alcohol content for an IPA is very well masked and contribues to the dry finish. This is art in a glass!

Very nicely done! Poured in a flute, ala Hefe style, a great head with a wonderful nose of spice, biscuit, peppers, anice, an overwhelming nose, that sits ontop of a foggy deep gold body; excellent. Nice mouthfeel, medium and fizzy as should be. For its style the flavor is delicate, lots of fruit and grape notes but a solid malt body, tastes a cross between a Hefe and a Saison, just really nice, tart and earthy with deep fruit. This is an excellent beer, very well done!

How do you tell a Saison from a Belgian Pale? I surely don't know. Initial nose is flowers/spring meadow. After a moment some lemon and clove. A very pale yellow and continually effervescent body is topped by a huge rocky white head that lasts and lasts and leaves wonderful lace. Mouth is on the light side of medium bodied, nice and tingly and a bit slippery. Really tastes like Saison duPont to me but turned down just a notch. There is lemon, a hint of clove (but NOT cloying) some yeasty flavor in towards the end taste and the finish is quite hoppy but only moderately bitter, the hops are peppery in the end. There is a bit a grass right at the end but the palette is left quite clean. Yup, I love this brew!

Lots of malt in the nose along with grapefruit and citrus, big nose. You will not find a better head on any beer, surpasses Dubbel. Huge frothy dead-white head that lasts forever with fantastic lace, sits atop a pale gold body that is not clear (I assume not filtered so no points off, but giving it a 9 so there is room for an IPA with this head and a clear body.) Mount is medium to full with good slickness. Very nice balance of sweetness and grapefruit and pine, very bitter but with solid malt and nice sweet balance. Finish is dry and clean. I love their "Do the right thing" stance and the beer is excellent.

If you can find this then by all means drink it! Big hop nose of pine and citrus with a hint of vanilla and bread. Fantastic thick foamy white head that lasts and lasts and great lace. Body is clear light copper. Medium bodied and coats the entire mouth, slightly slick and carbonation spot on. OK flavor....I love it! The fresh hopping is FRESH! I guess it squeaks into "Pale" territory because the hops are in the nose and in the flavor but the bittering level is not high. This beer tastes green in the best of ways. Malt backbone is there but backed off from and English pale making it American and particularly west coast. Alcohol almost entirely masked. Finish is slightly bitter and very dry.The flavoring hops are intense and reminiscent of their daytime IPA but the 6.5 turns it into a great beer. Did I meantion I LOVE THIS BREW? SOME NOTES ON THE 2016 VERSION: abvis up to 7%, the nose is bigtime pineapple, the head is somewhat reduced, the body is hazy, the fresh wet taste is there and the finish is tart.

At first sniff I was loving this and taste followed suit. Great strong nose of lemon and and clover with a hint of biscuit. Unfiltered and sourced locally it pours a hazy light gold body topped with a moderate white head and very nice lacing. Medium body, excellent carbonation. Tart as hell with great but modest citrus, bitter, bitter, bitter pucker up for this monster. These guys brew interesting lagers! The alcohol is warming, the balance for a VERY hoppy lager is spot on. Yes, I really like this brew!

Honey, grass, passion fruit in the nose. Medium Gold body clear, though unfiltered, decent head with low retention but decent skim coat, very little lace. The mouth is quite full for a lager, slightly creamy, spot on fizz. Serious hops in this lager, 100 IBU, but a nice solid neutral malt backbone that lends decent sweetness, very well balanced. Notes of lemon zest, tobacco, apricot, with an ever so slight sour finish, ends dry with hints of grain. Beer Advocate ( sorry have to mention this) gave it a 100 and world class rating, and I really can't argue with that. Jack's Abby is taking lager to a whole new place and I am glad they are!

This is Orono's award winning go-to IPA. (NEIPA) Long-lasting nose full of tangerine and pine. Very hazy medium gold body topped with a white head and excellent lace. Lots of tingle in the mouth which is medium bodied. Not as nasty-tropical as many NEIPA's the balance on this is lovely. The bitterness is quite present hitting the top of the palate, lots of citrus in the middle with slight warming alcohol and a signifiant aftertaste that is sweet yet not cloying.

Grass, clove, cardomom, bubble gum in the nose. Beautiful looking beer medium gold body slightly foggy, Rocky egg white head lasts forever with amazing lace. Mouth is full, creamy, not quite chewy. Flavor is good the original is a subtle kiss this is a smack in the face. Cardamom a little clove a little bubble gum a little banana, sour finish not unlike a good hefi. Would be great with a nasty cheese and some stinky meat.

Fantastic nose; chocolate, coffee, vanilla ice cream, hazelnut. Opaque super dark brown body apt with a huge frothy 10 head the blast and leaves incredible lace., mouth is medium-bodied slightly light. Quite clean and not coating. Flavor of burnt malts, Arabic coffee, vanilla malted, Bittersweet baking chocolate and yes maybe the can is Right some touches of peanut butter. This is some damn good stuff.

So let's just start by saying this is a really wonderful beer. The nose is a tropical New England IPA nose it's tropical and it's got some Clementine and just some hints of grass very little malt in the nose. Pours a very light-colored copper body but a really nice white head that leaves a good skim coat and very good lace. The body is almost clear unusual for a New England IPA, into my eyes quite pleasing. The mouth is medium-bodied with spot-on carbonation and nice slipperiness. Display her profile is really a classic IPA profile it's got a lot of pine resin and just a hint of that newfangled tropical coming through. There's a whole lot of green in this taste compared to most New ENGLAND IPA's. Tobacco leather caramel corn bitter salad greens a little bit salty. This beer is blowing me away

Honey, vanilla, pasture in the nose with a hint of lemon. I am a bit new to Kazbek hops, interesting. Clear medium gold body topped with minimal white head that leaves a skim coat and a hint of sudsy lace.The effervescence keeps coming. Mouth hints at creamy and is nicely fizzy. There is an unusual flavor profile here, I can't quite put my finger on it, might be coming from the house lager yeast. Finish is very clean, its a lovely pils flavor with what is maybe a hint of deep ripe fruit, plum? Bittering level is spot on for style. Hops are spicy/prppery. This is EXTREMELY SESSONABLE! (wish there was more nose)

Strong nose of tropical fruit, some pine, fruity vanilla. Very clear (for an unfiltered brew) deep gold body topped by a moderate white head with good lace. Mouth is sticky and dry with a slight chew. This one peels the enamel off your teeth, Fruity but alcohol and bitter predominate. Kicks butt.

Mild nose of biscuit, pine and ripe fruit. Coper body is lightly hazed with a decent head and good lace. Mouth is medium in body and nice tingle from just right carbonation. The 95 IBU's are there but not as overwhelming as the number. Solid malt backbone on this really approaches a Pale Ale. A hint of the tropical but nicely balanced with old style IPA characteristics. Alcohol is present and warming. Some fig and stone fruit with a nicely bitter finish.

Strong nose ..... lemon, pepper, tangerine, honey, violets, lite malts. Hazed light orange body topped with a decent head that is short lived, nice lacing. Mouth is clean, medium bodied, proper tingle.Starts fruity but quickly goes to a piney bitterness, more so than the 65 IBU might suggest. With all the citrus in the nose there is surprisingly little in the mouth. Tastes like an old school IPA which is a treat. From the website an unusually accurate description. "Beer Stats: 6.5%ABV; 65 IBU; 12SRM? Best if served at 48 – 54F (9 – 12C) Tasting Notes: Our Wadsworth India Pale Ale , and its bold red branding, is a well balanced brew at 6.5% ABV; plenty of select malted barley, and an aggressive dose of premium hops, we think you will enjoy the taste and aroma of this style. Charter Oak’s IPA pours with a full head of foam and a rich amber shade. As you bring your glass up to your mouth, one can not help but enjoy the aroma of the citrus, floral, and piney from our fresh, finishing hops. Indeed, a familiar nose for most American west coast India Pale styles. Once the liquid reaches your tongue, our hops are loud and clear and as this IPA reaches the back of your palate, the hops only become more flavorful and intense. Having said this, our IPA is not too bitter and one could argue, with all the hoppiness of this this well balanced style, it is a beer that can be savored all night long."

Classic pils nose, grassy touch of vanilla, Clear pale gold body topped with a white head leaving a nice skim coat very good lace constant effervescence. Moderate body perhaps a bit too carbonated. Flavor is classic czech pils, big ole grassy meadow, slightly off-putting aftertaste is a bit too astringent, a hint of aspirin. Overall a pretty good attempt.

Big Mosaic nose, pineapple, mango, tangerine. Nearly clear pale copper body with decent white head leaves skim and slight lace. Mouth is creamy/chewy, slightly slick, perhaps a hair under-carbonated. Nicely bitter, clean ending, good malt backbone, not picking up tropical flavors which is nice for a change, a slightly less intense profile that is otherwise similar to their Sea Hag. Very sessionable. A little sweetness on the back end, hop is piney as much as tropical. Close to an english pale in style, wonder about the yeast. Hard to believe that this is all Mosaic..... nicely done.

Clear gold body topped by a decent white head with moderate lace and retention. Ideal for me anyway IPA mouth is slippery, carbonation is spot-on, and just slightly creamy. This East Coast Brewer puts forth a classic West Coast IPA before neipa became the hot new ticket. I find that most refreshing these days. A lot of pine, slight Citrus coming from the Citra but not overpowering as it often is these days. Very solidly bitter. A little sweetness from the mall towards the back end dissolves into a hit of bitter, the Finish is dry as a bone. Mild nose of pine citrus with a bit of floral in it.

Strong nose...pineapple, biscuit, orange, lemon, salty breeze. Pale gold body fully hazed topped by a nice egg white with decent retention, nice skim coat, and moderate lace. Slightly thin mouth, spot on carbonation, clean. Flavor is growing on me, solid bitter in the middle, slightly sour on the back end, bit of citrus peel on the aftertaste. There is a little barnyard funk/mustiness in here and a hint of white pepper.

Lot of dough in the nose, some citrus, red raspberry. Cloudy dark honey body with solid off white head leaves a good skim coat and a bit of lace. Nice mouth slippery, full, a bit creamy, nice tingle. Alcohol is present and warming, nicely sweet with the honey without being cloying. Hops are herbal. This cleans up well in the end leaving the mouth slightly sweet and a bit coated with a little bitter in the back of the roof and a gentle booze burn. This tastes way too good and goes down way too easy!

Nose of roasted malts, overripe dark fruit, and lactose. This is a very nice looking beer at least on draft. Keep clear copper body with a lovely beige fluffy head that leaves fantastic lace. The mouth is creamy and full-bodied very nice carbonation level. This one hits sweet and ends with dark bitter chocolate and coffee ground flavors. I'm definitely picking up some lactose in the middle of this is also just a hint of sour and some astringent bittering at the end. This is a really good beer.
