Started on Ratebeer in 2002. Never a huge ticker but have become more interested in trying smaller sample sizes of more beers lately. Current tasting group meets bi-monthly: tfontana, Airforcehops (CLW) and Chalumeaux, occasionally with AdamChandler and Jow. If you're ever in the MA/NH area, reach out! *Disclaimer* I rate N/A beers on a N/A beer scale. Not a scale vs non-N/A beers. So an 8.5 rating of an N/A beer does not mean I think it is equivalent to an 8.5 real beer.

4.8/10 β€” Appearance 6 Aroma 4.5 Flavor 4.5 Texture 6 Overall 4
Eastie draught, 8/15/26.
Butter and apple...not sure what hops were used. Hard to tell.
Buttery, sourish. Not very hoppy. Classic diacetyl pale ale.

5.9/10 β€” Appearance 7 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 5 Overall 5.5
Eastie draught, 8/15/26.
Grassy and floral hop with simple white bread like malt. Again, very clean and competent but a bit unexciting.
Soft, bready malts and grassy hops. A bit doughy, lightly watery. Probably wouldn't kill them to use more hops. Just feels a bit low on expressiveness. Texture a bit lackluster.

5.8/10 β€” Appearance 7 Aroma 6 Flavor 5.5 Texture 5 Overall 5.5
Eastie draught, 8/15/26.
Not a ton of aroma....maybe a bit of sourdough? Not getting much hop for a pils. Bit of fresh herb. Clean, though.
Very light, very bready, tons of sourdough. Very watery throughout with strong sourdough character. Some apple, maybe a bit of butter. Lightly bitter, peppery hop but very minimal and inexpressive. Something slightly off here.

7.3/10 β€” Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7.5 Texture 6 Overall 7.5
Eastie draught, 8/15/26.
Soft with floral hop and a touch of biscuity grain. Good minerality and a touch of delicate sweetness on the end.
Crisp and floral with healthy bitterness, breadiness and good attenuation through to the finish. Fairly assertive bitterness but pulling back a little and with a bit lighter malt body probably to appeal to a wider crowd. Very respectable and well-made though.
