Thirsty Botanist

Aroma: “Lemon, peach, mango, and pine with a pleasant subtle peppery spiciness. Some caramel, candy-like sweetness adds nice complexity.”

Flavor: “There is a rich mix of candy and grainy sweetness with a lush tropical-fruit hops character. Finish is rich and chewy but with enough bitterness to balance it out. A bit of lingering grassy astringency distracts from the other more pleasant aspects of the beer.”

Overall: “A good hazy IPA, but a little heavy-handed in the overall balance.”

“This succulent New England–style India pale ale is brewed to celebrate the many talented, hard-working horticulturists who have been beautifying the Boothbay region for generations.”
