12. Kennebec River IPA


Seems like all craft brewers offer a variety of IPAs and most are very similar in style and flavor. While I am not usually a fan of IPAs, I have to say the IPA from Kennebec River Brewery and  Gritty's IPA may change my mind. This a quality beer with great flavor and a fair amount of bite from the hops but not overwhelming like IPAs often are.
Pros: Flavorful, great color and aroma
Cons: Slight aftertaste but less than many other IPAs 
Alcohol Content: 5.9% ABV
Calories: ???
IBU (Bitterness): 60?
Rating: ★★★☆☆
Brewers Website: Kennebec River Brewery
Brewers Description: Our flagship ale, this was our first brew ever made in 1997. This copper colored, medium bodied IPA is crafted with abundant amounts of North American malted barley for a full malt flavor. The aggressive bitter bite comes from a generous addition of Nugget hops, with late additions of Willamette hops adding subtle flavor and aroma. (Six packs available in stores year-round).
