Pretty Things Beer and Ale Project
Client Brewer in Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States 🇺🇸

Description
Pretty Things Beer & Ale Project began on a shoestring budget in 2008. We exist to allow 20 year professional brewer Dann Paquette to make an honest living while giving his imagination free reign. We brew our beers in other people's breweries because we can't afford our own. We enjoy the up-at-dawn lifestyle and the freedom to brew beers of our own imagining. We brew all our beers ourselves: Dann brews and formulates, Martha mills in. We dream up our beers together, inspired by Europe, by history, and by BEER and all it can be. We are based in Somerville, but brew mostly in Westport, MA, hence the early mornings. Cheers!

Draught. Clear rich yellow with medium sized creamy white head, floral aroma, medium carbonation, sweetish fruity taste, long finish with perfume like flavor. Too fragrant and not hoppy enough.

22 oz bottle purchased at Merrimac Liquors. Very dark brown color poured into a mug, foamy fast dying head. Nice aroma of sweet toffee, gentle caramel, notes of earthy Munich malts.
The flavor has a nice authentic German feel. Roasted nuts, caramelized sugar, toffee and some tobacco leaf. The body is in the medium level with some dryness. Soft, smooth carbonation level. Honestly not completely German but a very interesting take on the style. Borderline stout- like and I enjoyed sipping it. Would drink this again happily.

Pours deep amber into a snifter. White head with medium retention recedes to mottle surface. Caramel, tropical fruit, citrus and resin aromas.Thick with mango and pineapple upfront turning to hot caramel before the lasting bittersweet tangerine and earth finish. A little thick and sweet for my taste, but as always with Pretty Things it is well made.

Bottle at home while watching a German Western which was decent on Netflix. Golden pour with frothy head. Nose is yeasty and some banana. Tastes of light banana, yeast, bubblegum, some pine cones, vanilla, and medicinal. Pleasant palate that isnt too sweet ot chewy.
