Wolfe’s Neck IPA opens with an expressive bouquet of pineapple, mango, guava, and citrus zest, underscored by intriguing notes of coconut, orange, and a touch of allium character like onion and garlic. The malt base lends toasted bread and a whisper of pine, creating a balanced frame for the hop-forward profile. Its finish is clean and dry, with the tropical and savory notes lingering gracefully.

Brewer's Background:

Founded by brothers Daniel and David Kleban, Maine Beer Company began as a humble one-barrel brewery in Portland in 2009. Guided by their “Do what’s right” philosophy, the company has grown into one of the most respected names in American craft beer. From their sustainability commitments, including membership in 1% for the Planet, to their fierce dedication to quality, Maine Beer Company is known for doing things their way, with purpose and integrity. Their work with Wolfe’s Neck Center reflects this ethos, from donating to solar transition projects to amplifying the message of climate-conscious farming and food systems.

Ideal with grilled citrus-marinated chicken, roasted root vegetables, or spicy seafood tacos. Its tropical notes and crisp finish also make it a natural partner to summer fare like fresh mango salsa or coconut curry.
