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.

Draft. Pours very reddish brownish, medium head. Citrusy with some hops. A good summer brew.

12oz bottle from HalfTime. Foggy golden pour, fizzy head. Aroma is fruity, notes of blueberry, biscuity. Taste also gives the blueberry barely a nod, it mostly tastes like a blonde ale. Not as bad as some of these ratings would indicate

355ml can from Stop & Shop, Quincy. Quaffled at our hotel in North Quincy. Hazed golden orange appearance, white head. Curious fruitiness at play here.. a little smoky, stonefruity, orangey.. interesting IPA nonetheless.

Can from Americanbeer. Misty dark amber body, thick off-white head. Enormous aroma, huge caramel, dried fruit, light pine, orange liqueur, soft, grainy, maybe light oxidation. Maybe. Its BB date is basically, well, looking at where it's brewed, right now (almost 3 AM here the next date here, hah), but holds up well. Fairly lean taste, dry, light, dried out caramel (if you can imagine it) with hazy, citric notes, strong herbal notes, wormwood undertones, yee, this is old school, but well made old school.
