Description
Don't buy beer from strangers…

Our New Hampshire craft brewery is more than a tank-filled room or the drifting scents of hops and malt. It is passion for innovation and a deep love for quality, locally-sourced and inspired craft beers.

The beauty of 7th Settlement Brewery goes beyond brewing killer craft beers. It is more than a passion, calling, or science; it's a decade-long friendship and a dream come to a fruition. Our brewers, Nate and Josh, brew not only with their love and expertise for quality beer, but with deep respect for each other's skills. That long-thought plans of opening a brewery have come to become a reality still brings a smile to our brewer's faces every day. And the support for our New Hampshire craft brewery is constantly overwhelming. Seeing all of the hard work in planning, licensing, financing, building and brewing come to a head in a pint of 1623 Almighty Brown at the bar, we could never take a pint for granted at 7th Settlement.

8 oz pour at the brewery. Clear golden Amber color with a steady carbonation level. Legs of lace down the sides of the glass. Aroma and flavor are a total carbon copy of each other. The hop is herbal, spicy without becoming overly so. The finish has a balanced bitterness with just the right amount of malt backing. Zesty and lively mouthfeel. I will give it to the Brewer, this is highly drinkable without any flaws. I killed it easily. Side note: my 200 th APA rating!!

Growler from the source. Mostly clear brown color with very thin head on the top. Aroma shows just a trace of German yeast. Mostly Munich malt, caramel and dried leaves.

Flavor has a wheat base yet the German yeast strain doesn’t really show itself at all through the caramel malt sweetness. Light earthy tones like the mentioned aroma of dried leaves. Body is lean and light with a soft carbonation level.

On tap at America on Tap Manchester. Dark brown almost black with a frothy off white head. Light earthy roast and caramel with hints of butterscotch and not nearly enough hops to counter the malt.

Draft at the source in a sample glass. Pitch black in color with lasting thin white head that left legs of lacing. Aroma shows a substantial amount of earthy notes mixed with light roast.

Nice layer of flavor. The profile starts with a mild citrus that gives way to a moderate roasted malt body ( hints of chocolate ). The brew turns into a steady amount of earthy hint that is more herbal then straight up pine. Bitterness is lengthy after the sip yet, still balanced by roast. Very nicely crafted.

Draft at the source in a sample glass. Darker Amber color with head that died quick. Aroma is stale bread, caramel malt and mild yeast character.

Overall this is a pretty classic example of the style and it went down smooth. Malt showing the bread and light toffee backbone with a very tame hop in the back end. The flavor is finished just as the aroma did; mild yeast. The flavor is not overly sweet and the carbonation and body giving this brew a smoothness. Very easy to drink.

Draft. Lightly hazy brown color, fast dying head. Aroma is roasted nuts, cinnamon and nutmeg meg. Nothing will surprise you here; nutty base with the spice in the finish. Not overly spiced so that is a postive. No gourd with a nice brown ale base. Respectable.

Draft at 7th Settlement. Somewhat clear brown with thin lasting head. The maple syrup is noticeable as soon as you put your nose to the glass. Light roasted nuts.

Flavor has a nice roasted nutty base with the maple character showing though out the sip. Body shows a mild sticky texture but I love the lingering maple character. Sweet for sure and just on the verge of being cloying but... This is not. Very fine integration of the maple. Very tasty!

Draft. Clear yellow/ gold with some higher carbonation. Aroma is light pine, white crackers, pale malt, honey hints.

I know very little about this variety of hop that is starting to show up recently. "Jarrylo" .... Flavor is as the aroma leads me to believe. Base is cereal grains, with a mild pine and floral hint toward the end of the flavor. Body of this brew is my only compliant / borderline thin. However, no off flavors and it does end clean.

Draft sample at 7th. Brown color with lasting head retention. Aroma is wheat, clove with some mild fall spices. Subtle spice.

The base is wheat with a slightly medium body with clove and spice toward the finish. Got to be honest, I’m slacking on my "Roggenbiers" so I am nowhere an expert on what that entails. As far as this brew, it pretty simple and easy to drink.
