That's not a bad thing. I liked Lunch. I just don't get the comparison.
Almost like champagne, a floof of foam erupted from the bottle when I popped the cap. Not a lot, but there was a bit of foamy overflow. It poured hazy amber with a big, fluffy white head.
The aroma was very citrussy, but not citrus like bitter grapefruit. It was more of an orange-like aroma, sweet, with piney back notes.

As the head would suggest, this is a nice bubbly beer with a good, medium mouth feel.
Overall - good.
Could Lunch have been better? Maybe. For freshness and maximum flavor, most of Maine Beers are meant to consumed within 90 days. I picked up a bottle in New Hampshire a few months ago - the end of November - and I probably should have drank it sooner. It was still good, but the hops had surely mellowed. Or had they. I'd need to try a fresh one for contrast.

I've tried two month old Lunch and it is far inferior to the fresh stuff. I wouldn't go beyond 4 weeks.
