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.

Draught at Galway House, 11/17/16.
Clear, straw-golden. White head immediately fizzles away.
Soft, dusty, lightly herbal hops in the nose with a bit more spiciness picking up on the finish. Some toasted malt character, in a healthy balance with the base malt, gives a baguette character. Clean, no alcohol or flaw.
Light to medium-bodied, with good attenuation, straw, grain and toasted bread malt character balancing herbal/spicy German hops. Fizzy carbonation and not much of a substantial maltiness to it, texture-wise. Kind of fruity. Seems more like an American golden ale with German hops, but at least it’s clean and reasonably drinkable.

I really like this beer, and it reminds me quite a bit of SN’s current oktoberfest. Golden color, nice vinous maltiness, a bit juicy, toffee. Good peppery hoppiness, gives it a small kick and a balanced finish. Shows a little off-fruitiness if you drink it too warm, so put a good chill on it.

Bottle pours a hazy copper golden quick fizzy light tan head. Grainy light malt flavors. Some hop character and fair bitterness. Some wet paper malt notes at the end.

Can pour into tulip glass from One Stop Market. Aroma is moderately strong strawberry over a dry champagne-like yeastiness. Appearance is hazy pale yellow with champagne-like sparkle, finger width quickly fading white foamy head and no lacing. Taste is light sweet strawberry over dry champagne tart and spice. Palate is medium bodied with thin texture and dominated by stinging fizzy carbonation, with dry, lightly sweet finish. Overall, aroma is stronger than taste--I was expecting to get blown away by too much strawberry but was instead left wanting more.
