Big Belgian character with big hops.

Pale Ale. Coffee. Anyone who knows Carol knows that one of these two beverages answers the question “What are you in the mood to drink?” A complex beer with a beautiful orange hue, you’ll be able to spend some time analyzing this one. The next in the Linsey’s Lab series, two coffees were added to the pale base: Ethiopian Baaroo, roasted by Peritus Coffee, and Yrgsheffee Gedeo (also Ethiopian), roasted by The Bean Cycle. Both coffees are dry processed, meaning the fruit is allowed to dry on the seed before the pulp is removed, resulting in some interesting fruit flavors in addition to customary dark coffee notes. This is borne out in the beer: delicate coffee aroma melds with tropical, berry and citrus fruits. Hops were chosen to complement these fruity flavors, and malts balance coffee notes on the finish, lending to a residual sweetness. A beer that changes markedly as it warms slightly, we recommend you try your first half cold and then allow it to warm a bit to compare.

Hibiscus honey wheat

Currently under development, our classic summer ale is fermented on top of North Carolina peaches for a bright, crispy, refreshing classic Belgian wheat beer.

The goat will be back! Brewed in the style of a German Maibock, expect a smooth, fresh, malty taste and a slight alcohol warming sensation from this pale lager beer. It is brewed from pilsner, munich, carapils and caramel malts, Hallertau hops and weighs in at 6.5% alcohol by volume.

Our Winter Porter is a dark, black ale brewed in the style of a robust American Porter. It is a balance of roasted malt flavor (from black and chocolate malts), hop bitterness and citrusy hop aroma (from Cascade hops). It is 5.2% alcohol by volume.

Gouden Carolus Indulgence [Indulgence, noun, \in-'dәl-jәn(t)s\ something that is done or enjoyed as a special pleasure] is a limited series of beers brewed every year with varying content. These ‘Indulgence’ brews are exclusive delights to be savoured at special moments or shared with special people. Cuvée Sauvage is the 2nd taste to be produced under this label. Gouden Carolus Cuvée van de Keizer Rood was blended with 2- and 3-year-old Lambic (20%) from the Boon Brewery (Lembeek). This union combines the best of two brewing traditions: full-bodied and subtly flavoured, fruity and refreshingly sour.

When it seems nearly impossible to convince ourselves that the grey skies, dirt-colored snow, and salt covered roads do in fact disappear, sometimes a gentle reminder of Summer is all we need while recovering from wind burn. Thanks to our favorite strain of Belgian yeast and a light addition of Sorachi Ace hops, this beer is that reminder. Reminiscent of frozen banana pops, lemon slushies, and cucumber sandwiches, Carousel Ride is more fun than your favorite carnival attraction.

Ripe with aromas of mango and tropical fruits followed by layered flavors of bright hop bitterness, warm alcohol and sweet mango that becomes stronger as it warms in your glass.

A traditional American Brown Ale, our Harvest Ale was brewed with cool autumn nights in mind; smooth and drinkable, this beer offers a pleasantly complex malt character with just the right amount of Pacific Northwest Liberty Hops, creating the perfect beer to complement heartier fall foods or just kicking back on the porch swing and admiring the fall foliage.

In Carrabassett Valley we love winter, the nip in the air, the snow on the mountain, and the beer! With it's deep amber color, sturdy yet complex malt base, and unique hop finish this 6% ABV "winter warmer" style ale is sure to please the palette without the overpowering alcohol bite of many of the seasonal offerings. This is the perfect beer after a day out in the cold or for a cozy evening in by the fire.

An amber ale infused with lightly roasted carrots and a blend of fall seasonal spices. We conspired to create an ale that will help you escape the pumpkin parade.
