Had my bachelor party in Portland, ME this past weekend, so I had plenty of amazing beers. The best of the bunch: Battery Steele Flume^3
Description: Just so much mango. An absolute juice bomb.
What you should know: At 9.5%, I was expecting this to be sweet, but it really wasn't. This is an amped of version of Flume, which is one of the few beers I've ordered multiple times in a row at a bar. You should also know that Battery Steele is starting to distribute into Massachusetts, which is really nice for me.
Recommendations: Even if you can get this in Boston or somewhere else, take a drive up to Portland. I'll have a full write-up of everywhere I went in Portland next week along with some recommendations, but consider this an early warning that this will be on the "must go" list. They don't have a ton of options available in the taproom, so it won't be a huge time sink, an even bigger plus given how many different places you'll want to go.
