Description
We are a 3bbl nanobrewery in New Hampshire's Seacoast, focused on bringing high quality, inventive craft beer to the region. Our main passion is the East Coast IPA, especially the ability of the hop to play such an integral role in taste and aroma. In addition to unfiltered IPAs, our smaller brewing capacity allows the ability to brew many one-off and experimental series outside of our core beer; pilsners, fruited sours, Goses and stouts and constantly rotating through our tanks.
Our tap room is located in Dover, NH, offering samples and pints of all of our 10 current drafts. With our 3bbl size, we are able to constantly rotate beer selections, so every time you come in you'll find new offerings and interpretations of a variety of beer styles.

32oz crowler. Thanks AFH. Black with a lot of red hues, a small tan espresso head. Just a little bit of roasted nutty pecan aroma. Good taste. Very light, a little chocolate, some sort of chocolate cake and a good burnt coffee taste. a little off flavor but really this is well done. lots of flavor for 5.4%.

750 mL bottle thanks to the birthday boy, drunk 11/28/15.
Deep cherry flesh colored raspberry red. Auburn. White head fades to ring. Clarity is low.
Raspberry seed, light vanilla and cream. Smells funky, fruity and clean.
Dry, raspberry seeds, light vanilla, some honey and icing. Well, there isnt a lot of complexity, but the raspberry is great, with tight carbonation and some earthiness.

32 oz. Crowler, filled at the source about 10 days ago. Hazy Amber in color with spotty lace in a snifter. Aroma is spicy, Sorachi Ace has taken over. Crazy herbal, pepper and mint, dried leaves.
The flavor is all Sorachi Ace. What happened to the Cascade variety? It all spice and unfortunately it comes off as ashy. Like cigarette ash and black pepper. Not balanced at all. Body is on the lean side of medium and really could use citrus for balance. Sorry to say I only can taste cigarette butts. And since I am not a smoker, this is foul.

Keg pour at Powder Keg Beer & Chili Festival. Aroma is strong, strong pine but in a really pleasant sense. Appearance is golden yellow pour with mild white foamy head with fair lacing without noticeable sparkle. Taste is bitter but similar to aroma--very piney with a little bit of smoke. Palate is light-to-medium with average carbonation. Overall, interesting and different due to its commitment to pine. I like it.

32 oz. crowler purchased at the brewery. Hazy golden in color with lots of spotty lace down the snifter. Aroma displays a nice level of pine with lots of grapefruit and orange with some sweet pale malts.
The flavor is much like the aroma with fruit hitting the taste buds first then turning to resin in the backend of the sip. The interesting thing here is this beer has almost no bitterness in the finish and ends clean with some mild lingering fruit. Resin is actually real notable in the flavor but ends with fruit. Body is in the medium range with almost a hop oil texture. This drinks more reminiscent of an American Pale Ale. No matter the style definition, this is highly drinkable with low bitterness and plenty of flavor.
