Battery Steele Brewing |

Portland, ME
Pete - I went here in the early afternoon on a Friday. They have small and large pours (no flights), and a food truck outside along with Austin Street. It's a small taproom with a little outdoor space. Highlights the brewing process. Great area to hang and drink. The beers are amazing. They have mostly IPA's, but a few different styles mixed in with them.

Battery Steele Ascent
New England IPA - 6.7% ABV Pete Pictured on the left. Pretty delicious. Super creamy texture with tons of pineapple flavor. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |

Battery Steele Avalon
Imperial IPA - 7.5% ABV Pete Pretty citrusy going down (makes sense with the triple dry hopping), with a slightly dry finish. Damn good beer. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Battery Steele Axion
New England IPA - 6.8% ABV Pete This was formerly known as 'Onsite #1'. Super creamy going down with some citrus (though not nearly as much as expected from the aroma). The finish is peppery and a tiny bit dank. Really excellent. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |

Battery Steele Enjoy the Ride
Sour - 5.5% ABV Pete Pretty sour, but still light and drinkable. I tasted lime, though that's apparently not one of the fruits in it. Still, delicious. Update: in retrospect, this was obviously a variety, but I do not remember which version this was. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |

Battery Steele Enjoy The Ride: Kiwi, Passion Fruit, & Papaya
Sour - 6.5% ABV Pete This is just a passion fruit smoothie. I'll never complain about that. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Battery Steele Entanglement
West Coast IPA - 5.6% ABV Pete Pictured on the right. Really damn good balanced IPA. Bitter, malty, and floral all come through. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Battery Steele Flora w/Wildflower Honey
Imperial New England IPA - 8% ABV Pete This definitely has the hazy IPA citrus, along with a little bit of honey, without being too sweet. Really good beer. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |

Battery Steele Flume
Imperial New England IPA - 8% ABV Pete This was my first beer from this brewery (3/30/19), and it immediately convinced me that I'm visiting the brewery this summer. It's exactly what you hope for in a NEIPA: soft, creamy texture with a ton of juiciness. Super flavorful and extremely enjoyable. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Battery Steele Flume^2
Imperial New England IPA - 8% ABV Pete Amazing. Creamy, citrusy (mostly mango), a little piney, and a nice dry finish that keeps you coming back. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Battery Steele Flume^3
Imperial New England IPA - 9.5% ABV Pete So. Much. Mango. An amped up version of Flume (obviously). Usually IPA's this strong are too sweet, but this one isn't. Just an outrageous amount of flavor. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Battery Steele Flume Lite
Session New England IPA - 4.8% ABV Pete Damn good session, really just a toned down version of the original. About as good of a beer I've ever had with 'lite' or 'light' in the name. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Battery Steele Looming Illusion Mango, Orange, Pineapple, Coconut, & Vanilla
Gose - 7.4% ABV Pete This is just a fruit smoothie masquerading as a beer. Mostly mango and pineapple, so obviously it's delicious. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
