Mouthfeel (10%): Medium-light bodied; good carbonation. Very juicy and refreshing. 4.5/5

Overall (20%): An excellent Pale Ale. When I saw more Maine Beer Company options available, I had to get those too after enjoying Lunch. Loving the refreshing experience Peeper brings. This brewery is legit. 4.25/5
