What's on the Bottle/Website: "After a few years of home brewing in our garage, my brother and I decided we should open a brewery so that we could share our beer. In 2009 we started with a one barrel system and worked on a single recipe, over and over, until Peeper was born. And now we have enough to share. Cheers!" Read more here!

REVIEW:
Appearance (5%): Pours slightly hazy straw golden into a pint glass. White head; good lacing on the glass. 4.25/5

Smell (25%): Pleasing soft tropical citrus and berry with pilsner or yeasty malt notes. 4/5

Taste (40%): Follows the nose, light citrus and berry flavors with pilsner and bready notes. Extremely refreshing. 4.25/5

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

Final Weighted Rating: 4.213/5
