Description
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.

From can. Grass and resin aromas. Light and dry with grass and hat upfront turning to resin in the medium length finish.

Bottle at River Rd Tavern. Caramel malt with some faint citrus hops. Old school beer, may have been older than optimal. Meh!

Pours an amber from a bottle, a middling IPA, not bad, not awesome, I’d reach for something else I knew was better before grabbing this, but I’d grab this before grabbing something I knew I didn’t like.

Very good IPA, rather surprising as so far my experience with Wachusett has been kind of *shrug*.

Not much going on here, surprisingly light, I wouldn’t call it an IPA because there’s only slightly more hoppiness than a pale lager. Kind of a dud if you ask me, which you aren’t.

Pours a hazy amber from a bottle. Nose is a little like nail polish remover, with some oaky notes. Flavor is a combo of floral and bitter hops, with some residual maltiness. A balanced mouthfeel. Good beer.

12 oz. can purchased at the Beer Store, Nashua for $1.75 U.S. Clear copper /orange color without much head of any kind. Aroma is gourd upfront with light caramel malt with weak allspice in the back side.
Overall, pretty standard pumpkin brew. Flavor of caramel malt base, nutmeg, all spice and a touch of authentic pumpkin (not pie filling). The body is on the thin side with a watery feel. Other than the body, no problems and serviceable without doubt. For the price I have no complaints.

Old rating note I found on my note pad on my iPod, Haven’t seen this in about 2 years. On to the rating. 12 oz. bottle purchased at Julio’s Liqours. Cloudy gold color with a very weak nose; mild rye malt is all that is found.
The flavor is grain, rye through the middle leading into sweet malts and a weak undisclosed hop in the finish. Thin close to watery body and texture. Well all I can really say about this is.... You get what you pay for. Weak at best.
