Description
DORCHESTER BREWING CO. is a partner brewing facility with a public Tap Room serving partner and in-house brews on tap in Boston, MA. DBco was created by a team of Boston professionals with an unnatural love of craft beer, to meet production demands for the local craft beer industry while supporting the economic development of Dorchester. We realized that there was a gap in the industry — and in Boston proper — for local, small to medium-sized craft beer brands and regional brewers to produce their product in a predictable, high-quality, cost-effective manner if they didn’t have their own large-scale brewery. So, naturally, we built an expensive, massive brewery with a pretty sweet tasting room so that others didn’t have to.

Can while seeing a play in town. No idea on coloration. Tastes crackery, some grains, faint fruits and lemon. Crisp enough.

Another cold ipa I’m on a roll as of late. Clearish gold and fine sudsy white head. Nose is tropical fruits and grassy. Tastes of grass, pineapple, mango, red licorice, florals. Smooth and refreshing. Semi sweet finish

Can: Poured a golden color ale with a large white foamy head with OK retention and some light lacing. Aroma of fruity hops notes with some citrusy hops undertones. Taste is also a mix of fruity notes with some citrusy hop undertones and light residual sugar notes. Body is about average with good carbonation. Enjoyable IPA with good drinkability.

Can at home as I continue the festbier season. Dullish dirty gold and very small filmy head that leaves all too quick. Kind of lifeless looking body. Nose is caramel and florals. Tastes the same of caramel notes, herbs, florals, soap, golden raisins. Little odd finish.

16 oz draft. Aroma and flavor or a copy. Very mild grass, soft herb, and weak fruit. Displays a very light grassy bitterness in the finish. It’s decent.

Half liter on draught at the brewery, 9/9/21.
Clear canteloupe-amber with a white head showing medium retention.
Floral/spicy hops in the nose are to-style with toasted malts leading to sourdough and light baked pretezel. Salty/carbonic acid-like minerality and hints of honey add interest.
Soft and malty in the mouth, though not as well-textured and deeply malty as the German/double decocted ones. This feels much less malty, though dry and still quite drinkable. Just more pale ale like and less German lager-malty-like. A bit of soap and carbonic acid on the end leave it a bit vapid, but it's crisp and clean otherwise and drinkable.

Draught at the brewery, 9/9/21.
Really cool pulpy orange juice color. Deep, amber-honey-canteloupe. White head falls to a ring. Very hazy.
Nose is clean but so timid and minimal. Tangerine, lemon and light juiciness.
In the mouth it's also very timid. Very dry and heavily attenuated exposing heavy cracker. Really missing that soft maltiness and/or juiciness. Has neither. But it's clean and the bitterness is balanced and low.

Nice balance with just the right amount of hops.
