Maine Beer Company Little Whaleboat India Pale Ale

 Maine Beer Company Little Whaleboat India Pale Ale.

6.5% ABV, Maine Beer Company, Freeport, Maine.

Mostly clear, bright golden hue, small white head, leaving a little lace. 

In the nose: shining strong citrus, grapefruit, lemon. 

In the mouth: hoppy splash on the palate, bright, citrusy, delightful. Light bodied, easy drinking. Minor bitterness. Just enough. Perfectly pleasant. 

Notes of tropical fruit (mango, pineapple), grapefruit, pine, and floral aromas of rose and chamomile.

Little Whaleboat Islands (made up of Little Whaleboat, Nate & Tuck) are a cluster of 3 small islands and ledges in Casco Bay, a vital link in the chain of protected islands conserved by Maine Coast Heritage Trust. Protection of these islands provides sanctuary to a range of wildlife including seals, seabirds, shorebirds, and wading birds, while preserving a unique place off the coast of Maine for future generations to experience.

You know me, though. I need a little more edge, a little more bitter, a bit more bite.
