Beer Peeper Ale
Brewery Maine Beer Co.
Location Portland, ME
Type/Style Pale Ale
ABV 5.5%
To The Eye: Slightly hazy light gold color, verging on amber.
To The Nose: Strong citrus hop scent, with piney notes as well. Well balanced hop ratio.
On The Lips: Bitter forward. Medium to light body for easy drinking. Very crisp flavors, with the strong bitter citrus hop playing the main role. The bitterness mellows out nicely in the middle, where the piney flavors I smelled carries more strength. Ends with a sweet profile.
On The Tongue: Crisp and clean with great carbonation. Each sip feels refreshing and clean.
Opinion: As I’ve already stated in previous posts, pale ales are some of my favorite beers as a rule. Nicely hopped, crisp and light bodied, they’re ales with character without losing a drinkable quality. This beer captures that perfect, albeit with a little more hop profile than some similar brews. A winner in my book.
