On tap at the NH Brewers fest. 4 oz served in a small glass poured a deep golden yellow color with a thinnish off white head.The aroma is obviously jalapeno as soon as I set my nose over the glass. There’s some sweet bready pilsner malt backing up the pepper, but it has a hard time finding a voice. The flavor is quite mild from what I expected from the aroma. The pepper is there up front but it is all flavor with very little heat. Mild bready and caramel malt sweetness provide a nice backdrop before the pepper flavor throws a mild lingering heat. Medium body with a light to moderate level of carbonation and a sweet slick mouthfeel. This is a great beer, I went back for seconds, its a really nice pilsner and the jalapenos add an odd, but very flavorful component to the beer.

Growler from brewery. Lightly cloudy gold. Only produced head after vigorous pour. Real low Co2. Sweet nose of tropical fruit, malt and resin. Taste is much the same as the nose. Sweet up front turning into a pine bitterness. It doesn’t have an in your face, slap your mouth bitterness. However, it gets progressively more hoppy the more you consume. Pretty good.

Shared with AirForceHops in a 2Litre Growler straight from the brewery today. Enjoyed at fridge temp in a Stella glass.
A - darker gold appearance. Perfect clarity. No head at all with a slght bit of bubbles around the edge of the glass.
S - Trying my best to pick out the hop profiles. Columbus and Centennial. Slight hint of Amarillo. That’s the best I have on my limited experience. I’m most certainly wrong about that one though.
T - Very nice. Up front pine resin and some grapefruit cheese. Bark sort of taste like spent pine bark. Pretty interesting. Loving the columbus hops coming through on the taste buds. Resinous finish but the IBUs are a bit too extreme for me.
M - 50% carbonation. medium body. barky finish.
O - This is nice. We have 2 litres of this. Gonna drink it down!

Shared with AirForceHops who happens to be the first person to review this. 750ML swing top filled at the brewery today. Served in a Duvel tulip at room temp.
A - Semi dark brown to black. Amber hues on the edge of the glass. Slight 1 finger off-white head that fades to a thin line of head at about 30 seconds in.
S - Hmm. Nutty. Very much like roasted walnuts, some caramelization. Has that really great German-Lager yeast scent that reallyf ills the nose.
T - yeah. Very roasty. Slight vanilla, cinnamon and once again, this standard delicious german beer taste that I love.
M - 50/50 carbonation on the mouth swish. Light body. Crisp and light finish.
O - Pretty good. Really close to the style it was intended to be. Enjoyable.

Bottle. Initially smoked meat and an underlying rotted type aroma, but as it warmed, chocolate, dark fruits, and vanilla become apparent, and the rotted aroma disappeared. Black brown with a small tan head. Fruity smoked meat, chocolate malt, dark fruit, and light acidic flavor. Medium body with a dry finish. Nice smooth smoky flavor without the bitter acrid flavor that sometimes comes with smoke. Nicely done.

Served on tap at Firefly in a shaker pint, points off the establishment for the wrong glassware and also for serving it much too cold. Pours a slightly hazy deep golden yellow color without much of a head by the time I was able to wrap my paws around the glass. Smells a bit spicy and earthy with a fair amount of hop presence even for a bohemian. Slightly corny and grainy with that sweet honey like crisp grain aroma you’d expect in a lager. Taste follows the nose quite well. Sweet pilsen malt up front followed by a lot of earthy spicy hop flavor. Finish is a bit odd with a weird tangy flavor that feels a bit out of place. Medium to thin body with a spirited level of carbonation and a sweet bubbly mouthfeel. Nice pilsener, not on the level of the German stuff, but certainly quaffable.

Growler from the brewery. Deep brown with huge, full tan head. Lace coats the glass still leaving creamy foam at the bottom. Carbonation is just right. Nose is roasted malt and a touch of chocolate. Taste is a pleasant amount of roasted malt and grain. As the stout warms the roasted grains lingers with a light, mild bitterness. Overall this is a well make traditional, standard stout. I would enjoy this on draft if I ever see it in the area. Nice job from the ladies at Throwback!

purchased at Bert’s Better Beers. Stored in the fridge for a day and Poured into an Ommegang glass.
A - 5-Fingers of creamy head were produced on my vigorous pour. It dissipated very slowly. The beer is a dark golden brown with lots of cloud and haze.
S - Tons of big wheat notes, roasted malts and dry yeast. I’m getting a sweet fruit like mango or apples.
T - MMMM. Some sort of leaf like parsley and basil is here first followed by a sweet fruity wheat taste. Very delicious.
M - 60/40 carbonation on a mouth swish. Light bodied and no big lingering taste aside from wheat.
O - This is a solid beer and very local to me. I’ll buy it again.

32 oz. “Growlette” from the brewery. Used a lager glass. From the pop of the growler I got a nice roasted grain nose. Deep brown with just a touch of red around the edges. Very thin white head with average carbonation. Lots of roasted grain and light smokiness as it warms. Finish is real short with a clean, crisp feel for sure. If you like roasted grain, you will really like this brew. Don’t get any hops but a really nice interpretation of the style.
