About
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!

Bottle at Fastelavn Smagning 2014 @ J&C’s beer palace, Jutland Saturday Session 1 - 01/03/14. Hazed orange with a moderate off white covering. Nose is bitter orange, straw, lemon rind, spice, pretty basic saison aroma. Taste comprises bitter orange, yeasty notes, straw, pithy citrics, light spice, bready. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Adequate saison, ticks the boxes for style but lacks any grace, a little too yeasty.

Pours hazy amber with a small fading head.Nose shows honey, sweet malt, grassy hops and some floral notes.More grassy and piny hops as flavours along with some soft clean malt leading to a dry, sharp finish.Carbonation seems a little extreme.

Bottle, 22oz. An unclear one, golden in color and with a small, off-white head. The aroma is sort of sugary, with tropical fruits and a touch of pine cones. The flavor is too much on the sweet side I think, fruity and with a little hint of pale malts. Medium to full body, quite effervescent, far from dry. Some bitterness chimes in towards the end. Rather metallic finish. Not tasting bad this one, but it’s not my kind of beer in any way. 140301

Bottle. Pours dark brown, opaque with a medium puffy tan head that dissipates slowly with nice, if a bit clumpy, lacing. Aroma is nutty, malty, pumpernickel, roasted malts, toffee coffee grounds. Flavor is the same, light sweet and medium bitter, roasty coffee notes prominent. Lingering bitter finish. Medium body, but quite creamy. Tasty beer for sure.
