Maine Beer Company Lunch India Pale Ale

 


Maine Beer Company Lunch India Pale Ale.

7 % ABV. Maine Brewing Company, Freeport, ME. 

Clear, bright golden hue, large and long-lasting ivory head. 

In the nose: Soft and fuzzy. Floral. Grapefruit and lemon. Lovely. 

In the mouth: Fresh, lively, delicious. Blast of bitterness up front, flash of citrus, starting out bitter then turning dry. Medium bodied, long bitter finish, even handed, well -balanced. Just a little bit juicy, just enough. Malt has it's place here, and it's in harmony with the hops. Pretty much a perfect IPA. And I can dig it. 


Our “East Coast” version of a West Coast-style IPA. Intense hop flavors and aromas of tropical and citrus fruits and pine dominate. A subtle malt sweetness brings the beer into balance.
