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.

Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Mild bitter finish, some dryness, sugar and bread, caramel. OK, decent representation of the style.

Big thanks to nike for this brew. From a bottle has a good fresh beery scent. Basic looking pale lager. Dry with a mild blueberry soda background, not much sugar. Easy finsh with a satisfyingly good personality. Sizzling co2. Easy alky content makes this quafable, heh!

Bomber from Half Time. Pours hazy light amber with a 1 finger creamy/bubbly near-white head. Lots of fruity hop over a slightly roasted malt backbone. Near full in body. Lots of sweet caramel with lots of fruity/floral hop. I’d say this one is toward sweet rather than dry, but it’s a close call. It’s bitter, but not the harsh NW bitter. So flavorful. They did not skimp on ingredients. It’s almost chewy.

12 oz. Hazy amber/ blond. Light fruit nose. Taste is like a crisp apple, light malt and hint of hops in the background. Light body with a water like mouthfeel. Has some drinkability. Not a bad beer after a long hot day of yard work. It is refreshing but nothing you have to seek out.
