Looks and smells that a cream ale, but the flavor is very egg nog and cream heavy, but in a good way. Not a beer that I want to drink all day, but excellent seasonal offering. The beer is very balanced with a nice dry finish.

A golden brew with a thick white head. Smells and tastes like a pineapple bomb. Super smooth. A tad light on the mouthfeel, but this is a another amazing offering from this brewery!

Now this is a New England Pale Ale. Citrus and tropical, smooth and enough bitterness to finish it off. A little light on body, but it's 5.3% ABV and punches well above its weight. Well done.

Brewery draught, 7/4/25.
Dark, probably clear. Small, lighter-tan head.
Chocolate (dark) and a good deal of old school roastiness with some accents of pine and grapefruit (but mostly roasted malt). No alcohol or excess/raw sugar.
Classic RIS from back in the day. There's a lot of bitter roast/dark chocolate and nuttiness. But a good body, if not overly full with high attenuation, no thinning and no alcohol. Chocolatey, salty, nutty, very roasty. Can respect the style, even if I don't enjoy the roasty imperial stouts.

Hazy/cloudy golden-maize with a firm, small, white head.
Weizen character is front-and-center but does allow room for a tasteful dry hop. Some fruit, wood and berry-like notes complement nicely. Peppery, lightly clovey yeast and nutty wheat.
Similar flavors with the light banana, creamy/nutty wheat and peppery, clovey yeast hitting first. After effects of light grapefruit, orange, mango and mild berry adding more complexity and keeping it nice and dry. Good body/texture/attenuation.

Brewery draught, 7/4/25.
Blue raspberry looking (from the spirulina), mostly clear, maybe a bit of glassiness. Small, off-white head.
Nose is piquant raspberry, almost tart, with a good hop bitterness on the finish showing pine and grapefruit. Lactose pretty low here, which is nice. Nothing weird going on (which is kind of shocking, honestly), and it's not sweet.
Indeed it mimics the nose with a shocking dryness, good hoppiness and fruity and acidic raspberry that seems nearly fully fermented out. It retains a medium body, with decent depth. Not really milkshakey and not enough lactose to make it creamy, which is fine with me. Quite hoppy. Seems they've improved the recipe a good deal from last year.
