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.

Bottle from Harvest Market Pours a clear copper color with a smallish off white head that hangs around for a bit. Light toffee and earthy floral hops in the aroma along with a hint of mineral water. The flavor is light toffee and sweet malts with a light fruity twang. Light earthy hop provides some balance. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation and a slick watery mouthfeel. Nothing horribly exciting here, pretty poor excuse for an Oktoberfest, I wouldn’t buy this again.

Crystal clear golden coloured body with a decent two centimetre tall just off-white head. Aroma of blueberries, sugar, light malt, a hint of alcohol - and yes, tons more blueberries. Medium-bodied; Good malt flavour that shows well at first and then fades to the pungent and distinct blueberry flavour with some caster sugar, light earth, hay and a subtle alcohol taste. Aftertaste shows a lot of blueberries of course, but a good earthy malt flavour coupled with some bitterness. Overall, a decent fruit beer - showing tons of blueberries, but not in a sweet or nichey way - this worked out relatively well. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 06-July-2013 for US$1.34 sampled at home in Washington on 20-July-2013.

Sample at Willimantic Brewing Co. The beer pours a clear copper color with a medium off-white head that dissipates steadily. Short strings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of hops, citrus and malt. Light to medium body with flavors of citrusy hops, earthy malt and a bit of pine. The finish is moderately bitter with a resiny hops aftertaste. Decent overall.

It pours a light amber in color and has some visible carbonation seen rising in my nonic. A nice fluffy one inch white foamy head appears and lasts for about a minute before slowly dieing. The smell has some light aromas of caramel with some light spice as well. The taste is slightly sweet ranging closer to some light bitterness from the Christmas spices. The palate is medium centering on a moderate amount of carbonation on the tongue. This is fairly drinkable. It leaves a bland aftertaste. Overall, I’m not really impressed with this one, but for the style, I’d say just average.

Bottle from Half Time. Pours light copper with a slight, transient beige head. Mild caramel/roast aroma. Flavor starts toffee, moving to a bit bready, picking up some grassy? hop, and ending a little papery. Balanced, but rather bland.
