About
Wachusett Brewing Company was founded by three Massachusetts college students obsessed with the brewing culture and an appreciation for craft beer during their adventures of biking, canoeing, and hiking around New England. Armed with a “we can do this” attitude, the three cast off from their careers in engineering and biology to pursue their passion to make great beer.

Draft part of flight. A pumped version of their classic ale but somehow loses the flavor and adds a rubbing alcohol sensation. Deep golden. Nose is plastic and blueberry. Tatses like copper Pennie’s, some blueberry. Astringent finish.

Can from day 17 of the Beer Republic Green advent calendar. Packaged Aug 4. Hazy amber, nice lasting head. Nose is citrusy, it's a bit sour smelling. Yep from the flavor this is definitely mildly sour, which can only be contamination in this style. Not much hop aroma, flavor a bit citrusy, interesting enough I'll still drink it but that's a bummer as this was one of the newer beers in the calendar. Can't rate it too well with this major failure though.
