Sensory Description:

Fresh-cut melon and tropical pineapple rise from the glass, laced with a zesty edge of pink grapefruit. Underneath the fruit-forward brightness lies a savory backbone of onion and garlic, layered with whispery pine and just a trace of malted grain sweetness. Balanced yet dynamic, the palate glows with the clarity and complexity of its forested namesake.

Brewer's Background:

Founded in 2009 by brothers Daniel and David Kleban, Maine Beer Company was born on a front porch and in a garage, with weekend experiments that grew into one of the state's most admired breweries. Their mantra, “Do what’s right”, shapes every choice, from meticulous brewing to unwavering environmental stewardship. Today, their Freeport facility is a beacon for quality and purpose, where every pint reflects a love of craft and commitment to the planet.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve Woods & Waters chilled at 45–55°F in a nonic or tulip pint glass to highlight its layered aromatics and hop complexity. Pour gently to preserve its fine carbonation and allow the nose to bloom. This IPA is a natural companion to wood-fired pizzas, aged cheddar, grilled sausage, or garlic rosemary fries. A contemplative sipper for nights around the fire or under the stars.

Woods & Waters India Pale Ale is a beer that honors wild landscapes and those who protect them, a bottle filled with flavor, intention, and quiet reverence.
