CX draught, 6/15/23. Clear, bright lemon-gold. Small, white head slowly fades to spotty cover. Touch of sulfur/mineral, with poignant tropical fruits, grapefruit, lime and star fruit. White bread-like malt is supportive. No heavy melon, pine, resin, booze. Clean. Soft, with ample bitterness but balanced by great maltiness. Excellent balance and nice to see actual appropriate bitterness in a NEIPA. Plentiful yellow fruits, tropical and otherwise. Not heavy on pineapple, which is impressive for this hop.

CX tap, 6/15/23. Quite hazy ?? And the NEIPA I ordered with it is clear.... Pale brass-golden. White head clinging to edge. Lotta sulfur, that's nice. Not a lot of crude ester/phenol. No banana/bub gum/clove. Just sulfur, pepper and a touch of tropical fruit. Biscuity malts. Lovely! Big white pepper and dry citrus rind, with Meyer lemon and gentle, herbaceous hops. Malty, dry, balanced. These mid-range belgians are a weird thing to have as your specialty but I'm not complaining. I suspect this may be a saison yeast but I'm not convinced so I've left it as a Belgian ale.

CX tap, 6/15/23. Clear, pale-brass. Small, white head, low retention. Very gentle floral/herbal hops with timid yeast and plentiful biscuit and white bread. Light apple. Very pleasant but very light, even with warming. Earth and bread up front. More breadiness than perhaps I'd prefer. Almost a hint of dry caramel. It's certainly malty, rich and flavorful for its size, but I prefer a more yeast and/or hop driven pils. That's fine, though, these malts are well done and well attenuated. Reasonably crisp finish with gentle herbs and floral bitterness from hop.

Tap @ Lamplighter CX. Misty yellow, foamy white head. Pretty decent gose, true to style, gently tart with mild lemon and lime notes. Good stuff.

Tap @ Lamplighter CX. Clear gold pour, thin ring of loose bubbles. Pleasantly mild flavour profile, with emerging subtle grape hints, pleasantly sweet.. nice Mexican lager.

Tap @ Lamplighter CX. Pours a dark mahogany, off-white head. Aroma of toasted caramel malt. Continues to taste alongside soft nutty tones, toasted malt, grain.. great subtle shades with a nice depth of flavour for 3.7%. Excellent mild with great balance. If only English brewers had the courage to produce milds like this.

Tap @ Lamplighter CX. Misty golden yellow pour, good white head. Juicy canteloupe and soft exotic hop profile with good fruity murmurs lingering on the finish.. very low bitterness. Soft light mouthfeel. Very nicely done.

Tap @ Lamplighter CX. Pours a deep dark brown, off-white head. Espresso roast, leather and dark toffee nose. Taste presents excellent layers of dark caramel, chocolate malt and distant espresso.. such a good porter, lots here to discover, whilst remaining very well balanced.

375ml bottle, takeout from Lamplighter's Cambridge brewpub, sipped at our hotel in North Conway, New Hampshire. Clear, deep amber with a tan topping. Nicely complex old ale with teasing dark caramel, port and subtle leather.. exceptional harmony of flavours, if a little mild flavoured overall.

Pours hazy gold into a stein. Bright white soapy head with medium retention recedes to coat surface. Sweet hay and caramel aromas. Sweet with hay and bread front to back. Easy drinking indeed.
