Description
OCB has been hitting, hopping and dosing brews with creativity since acid-washed jeans were hip — throwing a bit of kind into the kettle whenever possible. Look for our hop-soaked ales and delicious lagers around New England and the mid-Atlantic.

From tap. Pours clear and golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma is fruity, peachy and grapefruity. Smooth fruity, crisp hoppy and citrusy. Lingering crisp hoppy finish.

Sampler pack: pours golden with white head. Aroma is light pine and hints of citrus. Easy drinking of course. A little but bitter with a sugary tint to it methinks. Some light hoppy aftertaste. Not bad. Feels heavier than it is.

Pours a rich brown from a bottle. Aroma is roasty, but with some grapefruit and pine. Flavor is a balanced blend of coffee with some grapefruit. Good beer.

Pours a cloudy golden with a thin white head from a bottle. Aroma is a piney hoppiness with citrus elements. Flavor is a nice IPA, with plenty of resiny flavor balanced by a slight sweet maltiness and a slight bitter finish. Although flavor is balanced, palate is a little unbalanced, with mouthfeel coming off as thin and flavors not quite melding together. A fine beer.

Pours from a bottle a dark amber. Aroma is some floral hops, a little dark wheat. Flavor is a nice sweet maltiness, with some whole wheat toast flavor and a pleasant bitterness. A good beer.

Pours a hazy amber with a medium off-white head. Lots of particulates in this unfiltered beer. Aroma is a piney hoppiness. Unlike others I can’t discern a clear rye component, no peppery flavor. It’s a fine IPA.

Bottle shared at a tasting at Ariel’s place. Better Beer Of The Month Club. Hazy yellow with a white head. Pleasant hoppy aroma with tropical fruits and citrus. Flavor of nice fruity hops, rather dry, with good piney bitterness. Light to medium-bodied. Very nice.

OK, from the start I think this is not sokind. Smells like an IPA with some BO in there. Nice lacing BTW. Barely any co2. The taste is strong bitter pointed. Rye laced BS. Not kind as advertised, jsut a bitter poning annoying beer. In yer face at times.THo not viscous like and ipa but vertainly just as menacing. More astringent than expected. Not impressed.

12 oz. bottle purchased at The Beer Store, Nashua NH. Lightly hazy gold color with thin spotty lacing. Pretty mild aroma even when warm. Weak rye malt, traces of grapefruit.
Maybe it takes a lot to impress me because this just seems underwhelming. Spicy rye and lingering grapefruit bitterness lingers long after the sip. Normally that is a good thing, here however, it throws the balance out of wack. Also lots of grapefruit as it warms with a higher than desirable carbonation level. Meh
