Maine Beer Dinner
Our first Double IPA – dry, refreshing and hoppy. We really focused on hop flavor and aroma here. To maximize hop character, we dry hopped Dinner twice with over 6 lbs. of hops per barrel. For the best experience, please enjoy fresh as possible.

Poured a super hazy orange color with a small off-white head. Aroma was... super smooth fruits. Virtually no bitterness or acidic character from the hops at all in this one. Some onion, dankness. Super delicious. Alcohol was really well hidden in this one. This was truly a well constructed beer! Draft at Old Rapp Taphouse.
Draft pours amber with a white head. Aroma of caramel, resin and some tropical notes. Taste is nice grapefruit, sweet malts and some pine.
On tap at Old Town Pub in Bordentown, NJ. Honey gold pour. Small creamy white head. Fragrant citrus hop aroma hints at lemon-lime and grapefruit. Bittersweet citrus flavor upfront. More grapefruit and lime with added notes of passion fruit. Green onions and pine in finish. Outstanding!
Goblet at the brewery pours a dark orange, sudsy white head. Nose is stinky, dank and wet grass, armpit, stinky ripe melons, grapefruit. Flavor is nice, stinky and dank, onions and scallions, wet grass, some stinky BO, malt backbone is there. Full, bitter finish. 8 4 8 4 15
Pint on tap. Slightly foggy, orange-bronze body with an enduring film of cream. Nose of resinous herb, caramel, pineapple, grapefruit, and a hint of basil. Tastes of the same mix plus notes of melon, dill and garlic. Smooth medium body with low-medium carbonation and a nice balance. More hop bite and bitterness than most in the style makes it a standout.
500ml bottle at home via ME. Beautiful nearly clear golden orange pour With a large off-white head that leaves behind lots of sticky lacing sea foam remnants. Big citrus and pine aroma. Orange and grapefruit flavors with melon and pineapple notes, with a touch of caramel sweetness and featuring citrus and piney hops. Soft gentle carb, full body, smooth texture. The finish is juicy citrus with a long-lingering piney bitterness that manages to walk a very fine line between medium bitter and dank all the way through to the end. Overall this is an outstanding, delicious beer with sublime balance as is typical from Maine Beer Co.
Pours hazy golden and with a tight white head that Brussels up nicely. On tap at rozis, in a tulip. Aroma of orange peel, slight pine, weed. Flavor is juicy citrus with almost no malt. Fruit stripe gum and soap. Really well made but not overwhelming hops. Juicy finish, not as crisp and dry as the lunch. Lovely but expensive and hard to find. Almost to easy to drink for a dbl.
Bottle thanks to Mark from Maine Beer. Didn't expect to tick this in Tampa! Mostly clear golden with a nice white head. Aroma is great, very citrusy, pineapple, pine, resin. Clean bready pale malt base with crisp tropical, citrus, pine hops with medium bitterness. Medium plus body, very drinkable. Very nice.
Hazy copper color with a thin white head. Bright citrus hop aroma. Amazingly well integrated and put together. Super hoppy but perfectly balanced. Great great beer.
Throwback hoppy beer, easy on the palate, light yellow and very dry. On tap at Colter Bay.
Half liter bottle. About a week old. Lightly hazy golden color. Huge lemon, grass, grapes, resin and pine in the nose. Fresh, awesome hops. Prickly, spicy bitterness with juicy hops. No syrupiness, clean and super dry with grapefruit some pith, and tropical ripeness. It isn't really a NE IPA, as it is too dry and crisp for that, but it does have the juiciness of one. Absolutely fantastic.
Draught at The Well: pours mostly clear With a white head. Aroma is lightly tropically fruity, some herbalness. Taste is fruity, but not super juicy. Nice character. Good but perhaps underwhelming.
Pours a hazy burnished yellow with a thick white head that laces. Nose retains a floral and pineapple hints after more than a year. Taste is malt and pineapple. The hops leave lingering dryness and bitterness in the whole mouth. Body is full. Given this beer is dated 8/31/18, I find it remarkably in good shape for a beer intended to be drunk fresh with the hops having character that needing to be sought out remains. Of course, one should not drink any beer without appreciating its character. Have you found the toffee in Miller Lite? Half Liter Bottle Born on 8/31/18
Draft at brewery. Pours golden witty a white head. Leaves some lacing in the glass. Fairly big citrus on the nose and tongue. Gets bolder as it warms up. Finished clear. It’s a good beer but not a pantheon one.
On tap at the brewery. Cloudy, slightly hazy gold pour. Nose is fragrant pine and cedar with lots of soft tropical fruit undertones. Delicious, chewy malt, tons of fruitiness, moderately juicy. Definitely not as over-the-top juicy as the NEIPAs currently making the rounds, but this is crazy smooth. Reminds me of Focal Banger.
Sample at Beervana Rhode Island 2019. Lightly hazy yellow white, fine head, moderate retention. Aroma is pineapple and onion, bit of banana, touch of light and floral malt caramel, some guava. Body is medium-light, syrupy-oily, moderate carbonation. Very good green fresh flavor. Aroma is a bit less intense than flavor. Served too cold.
Bottle: Poured a clear yellow color ale with a large white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of citrus hoppy floral undertones with some dry hops notes. Taste is also dominated by citrus hops floral undertones with some dry hops notes. Body is about average with good carbonation. Enjoyable but hops were not as dominant as I was expecting. This beer has probably been surpassed by some of the newcomers.
16.9 oz bottle purchased at the source. Bottled 10/04/19, so only a week old. Pours a light gold with a one finger white head. Head quickly recedes leaving modest lace. Juicy tropical fruit aroma and flavor. Nice and fresh. Medium bodied. Very nice.
Light citrus aromas.gold and hazy in color with great long lasting head. Taste is of grapefruit, tangerine, light pine, faint resin.
Refrigerated 0.5 L brown bottle, bottle on July 23, 2019 poured into a glass. Hazy deep golden with big white head. Aroma is herbal hops, medium body, medium/low carbonation, and little lacing. Taste is herbal hops, pine hops, and bitter finish. Expected to like this a whole bunch more.
Slightly hazy rich golden with a thin foamy white head. Aroma is a little sharp and herbaceous and cough-drop like with a little pineapple. Crisp grassy and pale flavor that’s full bodied with pine and a little pineapple.
Hazy, yellow. Big, white head .Amazing aroma of pine resin, citrus and some malt. Strong, hoppy bitterness in balanced taste.Worth looking for!
Bottle at home. Pours a bright hazy yellow gold with a medium white head. Tropical fruit, sweet malts, mango, some mandarin orange in the nose. Flavour is more tropical fruit, grapefruit, slight bit of pineapple, sweet malts. Nice long bitter finish.
Bottle from John. Pours clear straw lots of head and lacing. Notes of pineapple mango, some dank.taste medium bitter medium sweet.
This was amazing. I was surprised it wasn’t hazier, but the aroma (loaded citrus and tropical fruit) was awesome and the taste was delicious (well balanced malt and hop-forward flavors - not too bitter)
