A Tiny Beautiful Something

A Tiny Beautiful Something, Maine Beer Company, Freeport, ME
(American Pale Ale, Rated 98)

Pours a hazy, golden, yellow with a thick, frothy, white head. Aroma is biscuity, grassy with floral notes. Brewed with El Dorado hops. Taste is  strong citrus, orange zest, malty oats, with an earthy sweetness. Light with a dry, clean finish.

Weez

Weez, Maine Beer Company, Freeport, ME
(Black IPA, Rated 99)

Pours black with a nice, inch-thick, tan head. Nearly reminiscent of a stout in terms of color and viscosity. Aroma is char-roasted malts, coffee, and piney hops. Medium bodied and carbonated. Taste is chocolate and roasted dark malts up front with burnt grain and a dry, bitter, pine finish. Impeccable example of this style! I love black IPAs!

Curiosity Sixteen

Curiosity Sixteen, Tree House Brewing Company, Monson, MA
(IPA)

First impression = Wow! Pours a bright, straw-colored, yellow with a nice, white head. Aroma is dank pine, juicy orange and papaya, and lemon. Taste is totally pungent and loaded with citrus and tropical hops up front. The finish is impressively sweet, smooth, and dry. Carries a nice 6.2% abv. Definitely lives up to its commercial description. Another fantastic IPA from Tree House!

Julius

Julius, Tree House Brewing Company, Monson, MA
(IPA, Rated 100)

One of the more sought after IPAs from the East Coast, Julius pours a hazy, orange color with a nice, thick, frothy, head. Huge citrus on the nose with mango and other tropical notes. Taste is full of orange zest and citrus. Nice hop bitterness with a dry finish. This is a citrus juice bomb! Fantastic! One of the better IPAs I've had and crushable at 6.5%.
