Peak Organic produces organic ales and sources local ingredients whenever possible.  The Pomegranate Ale that I tried hit all the right notes – it tasted like ale with noticeable fruitiness – not too sweet and fruity as some fruit-enhanced ales are, but not such an overpowering beer flavor that I couldn’t detect fruit.  It was spot-on and perfect with the flatbread pizza I enjoyed it with (deserving of its own entry). 

Knowing that Peak Organic is fairly local (Maine) to me and that they make efforts to source local, organic ingredients to produce their ales, and having tasted this one…I’m eager to try some of their other offerings, especially the Maple Oat Ale (with Vermont maple syrup!) and the Espresso Amber Ale (it’s the first Fair Trade certified beer in the U.S., and it inclludes Maine roasted beans).  I’ll be on the lookout for both of these!
