Summer Ale
An ode to summer in Maine, this is a traditional American wheat ale with a crisp malted wheat flavor and notes of citrus and honey. It is light-bodied and hopped with Saphir and Willamette, over two-row British pale ale and Munich malts. 5.1% ABV and 22 IBU, a summer seasonal made for a relaxing afternoon in the sun.
