16 oz bottle, bottled 10/25/12, poured into a pint glass.

A- Pours a slightly hazy light golden color, topped with a big fluffy white head that leaves tons of delicate lacing. Looks awesome.

S- Juicy citrus hops, lots of grapefruit and orange, slightly floral and grassy as well. The malt is light and bready and just slightly sweet.

T- Bitter floral hops, still quite grassy but the citrus is more subdued here, sweet bready and crackery malt.

M- Medium-bodied, smooth with moderate carbonation.

O- A very nice pale ale, the hop profile is tasty and balanced, very drinkable, I finished the pint almost without realizing it.

Maine Beer Company - Peeper Ale

Look - Pours a pale yellow slightly hazy with a bubbly head. Lots of sticky lacing. Heavy carbonation, a bubbly bugger.

Smell - Aroma is a fresh smooth apricot (or some kind of citrus) and also floral hop aroma. Light, crisp wheat malts. Slight spice compliments the nose.

Taste - Fruity and crisp, a bit of sour and tart. Light and refreshing as hell. There is definitely a bit of spice or something present that adds to this.

Mouthfeel - Sour, not boozy at all. Nice hop fade that you want to sip to refresh again and again. Very drinkable.

Overall - This is a perfect Spring & Summer brew, it really works well on a nice day. I am sure it would be good on any day, but it stood out particularly in a warm, sunny environment.

Poured a cloudy yellow with soapy like bubbles and lots of lace. Grainy malts first hit me, and then a citric and clove like spice with bitter hops and a touch of sweet yeast in the aroma. Beer is light-bodied, smooth, has a nice sweetness to it that I wasn't expecting and balances a dry, grainy bread like malt with some citric flavored hops and spice. One of those simple beers that you enjoy every drink and can keep on drinking.

Pours a hazy, straw colored body beneath the pillowy, pure white head which is extremely slow to dissipate leaving a scattered sticky lacing.

Fresh floral hop aromas float from the glass, perhaps a touch of wheat and a touch of straw.

The palate is much more pronounced with hop flavors of flower petals and floral herbs. I would stop short of calling it spicy but the hops are certainly bordering on it at some points on the palate and there even seems to be a hint of lemongrass/lavender.

Medium to lighter in body wi generous carbonation and a sharper hoppy finish.

What a great, refreshing, hoppy brew with tons of character to enjoy.
