Reviewed from notes. This was poured into a nonic pint glass.
The appearance was a dark ruddy brown color with a finger’s worth of white foamy head that dissipated at a nice pace. Subtle clingy lace speckles the glass.
The aroma had some sweet nutty to caramel malts. Some maple is there, but fairly low.
The flavor yields to the sweet side with a crisp nutty backbone. Sly malty aftertaste rubbing against a soft malty finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Carbonation feels good. Sly crisp yet smooth sort of feel, not cloying.
Overall, decent brown ale but the maple is a tad weaker than expected.

This was poured into a mug.
The appearance was a semi-dark rugged amber to brown color with hues of burnt orange flowing along the sides. Finger’s worth of white foamy head that dissipated at a decent pace. Mild stringy lace.
The aroma had some swift ruddy caramel to toffee malts playing with a light grassy bitter hoppiness.
The flavor leans malty with some dried biscuity to breadiness. Sly nuttiness with some earthiness. Crisp nutty malty aftertaste rolling into a semi-sticky sort of finish.

Poured into a nonic pint glass, the appearance was a semi-hazy burnt yellow almost orange with a quickly dissipating finger’s worth of white foamy head that left some clingy filmy lace.
The aroma takes some citrus bitter rind to meld with a rugged resin/piney bitter hoppiness. Hop oils flow in nicely.
The flavor leans bitter initially with that burst of the citrus rind beating down resinous bitter hops. Clean with a kick of the hops flowing into the aftertaste and takes on a slight sticky finish.
On the palate, this one takes on a slight resinous bitter stickiness flowing over my tongue with some hop oils. Light to medium bodied, slightly sessionable and ABV seems right on par.
Overall, nice AIPA that I would have again.

Poured into a nonic pint glass, the appearance was a semi-hazy ruddy burnt orange color with a thin cap of a white head. Foamy yet fizzling bubbliness.
The aroma, obviously was pumpkin and coming across slightly sweet. No spices extra were added. Slightly grassy hop bitterness.
The flavor leans pumpkin sweet. Fleshiness wants to show some oomph but there’s a degree of acceptable vegetal taste. Once again, grassy hop bitterness is there. Lingering pumpkin/vegetal aftertaste. Hops and pumpkin finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a decent hop bitterness rolling about. Carbonation feels good, fairly low.
Overall, reminiscent of Sixpoint’s Autumnation with a rugged bitter hoppiness intertwining with a sweet pumpkin flavor. Good for what it is.

This was poured into a pilsner glass.
The appearance was a light slightly golden yellow color with a nice transparency about it. Carbonation rides up at a nice pace. Thin white little head dissipates quickly. No lacing.
The smell starts off with a sweet honey biscuity / corn to sweet malt. Subtle grassy hops slide in underneath.
The flavor leaned mainly sweet with a nice grassiness underneath. Semi-dry grassy to malty sweetness leads into the aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body. Carbonation is trim enough to allow a subtle sweet clingy-ness rolling over my tongue.
Overall, as a German pilsener it works. I’d have this again.

Bottle at the cabin in NH. Pours clear, deep amber with a frothy, off-whtie head. The nose holds toasted crackers and pine, wholegrain bread, light citrus. Medium sweet flavour with moderate toasted grains, grass, earth, light brown sugar. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Lightly warming in the finish, with sturdy earthy-grassy bitterness, light toffee, bready malts, toast. Not bad overall.

12 oz. bottle at The Dover Brickhouse, Dover, NH. Deep brown color, some lasting head. Aroma has a bolder hop profile, good pine with light floral hints.
Flavor has a decent hop element. Malty, nutty and a touch toasty with dark fruits. Then it the hop profile kicks in and adds nice balance. Long floral finish. Dry texture. I thought I would have to fight my way to finish the bottle, not the case. Decent. However, it is kind of forgettable.

Tap industry. A darker brew. Sweet nose. Nice lacing. First taste is a big dull wack. The nose is sweet but the taste is opposite.Quite rude actually. Just a big alky blast of beer in yer face. Nasty nellie astringent finish. Certainly not a civilized brown ale.
