Poured into a becher pint glass, the appearance was a moderately dark copper to light amber color with a thin finger’s worth of white foamy head that fell off at a moderate pace. Slight lace.
The aroma had a pretty good balance of the caramel/toffee malts to the citrusy and piney hops. Nice ebb and flow between malt sweetness to bitter hops.
The flavor balanced decently between the sweet and the bitter to evenly flow into the aftertaste with a little bit of biscuits and then punch the finish with some bitter hops.
The palate was about medium bodied with a good sessionability about it. Sturdy carbonation and a nice ABV.
Overall, I’d say this was a pretty good amber ale that I’d come back to.

Poured into a becher pint glass, the appearance was a clear pale yellow color with a finger’s worth of white foamy head that glimmered and slid off pretty quick. Messy lace.
The aroma had some light lemon sweetness, somewhat like juice, and also having a little bit of sweet wheat. Light grassy hops at the very end.
The flavor leaned into the sweetness and coughed up a little bit of sweet corn. Nice clean sweet corn to wheat aftertaste and finish.
The palate was about light bodied with an easy going attitude about it to make for a great Summer session. Carbonation felt good and the ABV felt fine.
Overall, I didn’t expect much out of this one, but enjoyed as a clean easy drinker that could be crushed after mowing the lawn, by the grill or chilling at the Summer lake. I’d have again for those purposes.

Draft 6 oz. sample at The Flight Center, Nashua. Slightly hazy golden color, thin head. Aroma is Belgian yeast with a slight citrus hop note.
Flavor is almost balanced. Overall pulling off a well constructed Belgian IPA is pretty hard to do. Normally the yeast and hops clash. This kind of has a more astringent finish than I would desire. But it is not hard to drink. Maybe worth a pint.

Can thanks to my son in law. Clear pale. Clean beery nose. Just a tad of that bitter beery thing up front that makes me confirm this is a wheat ale. Regardless, goes down fairly easy. Ends with a good clean well made pale macro lager feel. Decent CO2 thru-out. Not bad for a wheat ale.

Bottle from East Derry Slightly hazy dark brown in color with a smallish tan head that slowly recedes. Brown sugary fruity spicy on the nose with a touch of earth and oak. The flavor is spicy earthy lightly fruity with a definite vinous character. Brown sugary malt backbone and a hint of warming alcohol. Pretty tasty sipper.

Bomber bottle. Hazy straw color with light foamy head. The aroma is citrus, pale grain mixed with light pine. The flavor has some caramel, sugar sweetness giving an almost candied grapefruit and orange flavor.
The bitterness shows itself in the form of pine resin and is balance a tad with the sugary sweet malt. Carbonation is standard while leading to a semi dry texture. Nothing wrong with it but I will not remember this IPA.

650 ml bottle. Deep ruby / brown color, thin lasting head. Aroma is mild roast, light chocolate, molasses hints. Flavor is mostly the same with a hint of raisins or dark fruit notes that get more dominant as it warms. Medium plus body. Pretty nice Porter with a good roasted backbone.

Bottle from a Lazy Dog. Pours a solid dark brown with a huge bubbly frothy tan head that takes forever to recede. Big chocolate on the nose with hints of dried fruit and caramel with some faint earthy hop. Caramel brown sugar and plenty of chocolate in the flavor Light roast earth and faint dried fruit. Moderate carbonation, silky creamy bubbly mouthfeel. Really tasty drinkable porter, a bit light on raisin character. but tasty.

Bottle from the brewery Hazy dark brown with a good sized long lasting bubbly tan head. Rich caramelized sugars with bits of prune and dark dried fruits offset with some light peppery clove phenols. Full body with moderate carbonation. This is a really tasty quad!
