Description
Blue Lobster Brewing Company will be coming to Hampton, New Hampshire in 2012! Featuring fine craft beers from Michael and Roberta Benoit, Blue Lobster will become a common sight in your favorite local restaurants and bars.
Michael and Roberta have been crafting beer for 30 years (okay, so Michael crafts it, but Roberta helps design and drink it). After many years of wandering the country in exotic places like Texas, California, and for the last 12 years Oregon, they are looking forward to bringing their unique, locally-inspired brews to New Hampshire. Blue Lobster will feature small batch specialty brews, as well as more traditional beers - all served in our own tasting room AT the brewery.

Very light golden yellow fluffy white head. Nose is wheat, spice and honey with a touch of nectarines. Big mouthfeel with coriander and bitter orange peel. Very nice dry finish. Pretty much exactly to the style but a bit spicy.

Taster @ the brewpub. Aroma consists of rustic malt with floral and herbal notes with some yeast. Taste is a complex mix between some rustic malt notes with some floral undertones and nice yeasty wheat component. Notes of wild flowers and fresh cut grass. Body is light and refreshing. I would drink this again and worth the growler. Nice job!!

Taster @ the brewpub, Very interesting concept with them grits. The malt element really surprised me. The flavor has a grainy base complemented by caramel malts, corn husk notes. A nice creamy mouthfeel that makes it easy to drink. The grain and the malt are a slightly different take. And I can’t remember the last time I eat Grits. At least 7 or 8 years ago visiting a buddy in South Carolina. But it does have a rustic feel to it. Interesting to try and its almost gone, so I was happy to try it.

Taster @ the brewpub. Real nice blend of hops. Lots of bright fruits on the nose with clean malt. Feels good in your mouth to swish around, giving you flavors of grapefruit, pineapple and some light resin. Really great flavor at 4.5%. This beer pretty much perfectly balanced, it has an outstanding flavor. Very easy to down it. The body was light to medium with a dry texture. Pretty damn nice.

Dark brown to black. A finger of pillow like creamy head Very heavy with chocolate and rye. Husky smoked malts Nice smoky presence. No campfire at all. The rye comes through and there’s this fantastic blend of smoke, rye, and toffee / cocoa. Very interesting and unique. Might be great with a touch of vanilla and bourbon!!! Very creamy mouthfeel and fun to swish
