Summer Town

Main & Mill Brewing Company

American IPA - New England (NEIPA)

6.0 by scot

Purchased at Craft Beer Cellar on 2021-05-29. Date on can of: smudged, but seems to be sometime in late April, 2021. Cloudy with a snow white, billowing head that has great retention. Sticky lacing throughout. Aroma isn't on par with expectations. Citrus is pretty much about all that is perceived. Orange. The taste is under whelming as well. Mostly cracker/bread malts in the finish (reminds me a bit of Maris Otter). Some citrus but really subdued. Light body with a stiff carbonation. ...read more

New Image Brewing

American IPA - Imperial New England (INEIPA)

8.2 by scot

Purchased at Flight Bottle Shoppe on 2021-05-27. Date on can of 2021-04-22. Recommended by my go to at Flight. Pours cloudy with a huge pure white, billowing foam. Great retention that last for days. Lacing is thin but numerous and sticky. Aroma of orange up front which quickly gives way to ripe tropical fruits: pineapple and mango. Peach and some booze can be found. Light bread malt mingles with pine and citrus (white grapefruit and orange). Very late there is either a hop burn, booze...read more

Anni Ale 13irteen

Short's Brewing Company

American Wild Ale

6.7 by scot

I know I could look up how long ago was Short's 13th anniversary but this beer has to be 4 years old. Pours clear with a covering of off-white to light tan foam that covers, in spite fo being a vigorous pour. The foam sprints away leaving retention behind. Aroma of cherry tartness. Not much going on at this point: one dimensional. Taste is subdued up front before tart cherries and tea take over midway, building to the finish leaving a tart/sour bitterness in the mouth that lingers. Hints o...read more

Super Megabite

Hop Butcher For The World

American IPA - Imperial New England (INEIPA)

9.6 by scot

Purchased at Flight Bottle Shoppe on 2021-05-06. Poured into a stemmed Hop Butcher glass. Date on can of 2021-05-04 with "Freakin' Laser Beams". Pours cloudy with a huge billowing white foam that covers. Long lasting foam that quickly clings to the glass; thick at times. Aroma is initially citrus and ripe fruit with pine lagging behind. A couple of minutes in it switches over to an even blend of citrus, ripe tropical fruit, and pine; the pine almost takes over. Soon, it becomes ...read more

Alsace

Hop Butcher For The World

German Pilsner

6.9 by scot

Purchased at Flight Bottle Shoppe on 2021-04-01. Date on can of 2021-03-30. Pours crystal clear as a Pilsner should. Pure white loosely packed foam covers. Fleeting. No lacing. Aroma of citrus: lemon and lime. Herbal, probably more weed like, maybe even leather. Some spice. Lager yeast. No grain: cracker or otherwise. Taste has the early lemon that is thwarted by weed in the middle. Giving way to a spice that lingers, possibly a bit more abrupt than a normal Pilsner. Light body, mayb...read more

Dad Bod

Urban Brew Labs

Kellerbier/Zwickelbier

7.3 by scot

Purchased at Flight Bottle Shoppe on 2020-04-01. No date on can. I hope it is fresh. Picked up because I like the can art more than anything. Pours with a chill haze. Huge, billowing, pristine white foam covers. Good retention, leaving wispy lacing behind. Some effervescence. Aroma of lager yeast, herbal, floral, and hints of earthiness. Fits the style. Taste is bread, herbal, spice, and hints of floral. Bigger end of light body with medium carbonation that spritzes the edges of the ...read more

Skipping Rocks

Riverlands Brewing Company

American IPA - New England (NEIPA)

6.2 by scot

Purchased at Flight Bottle Shoppe on 2021-03-04. Date on can of 2021-02-17. Pours cloudy with a beautiful white plume of foam. Good retention with lacing reminiscent of a saison. Aroma is citrus forward. More lime than anything for me. Some orange. Taste is very thin. Sweet orange and lime without much fanfare. Very light body that the carbonation doesn't pick up. Dry. Ho-hum. Nothing here that makes this blast off. Thin and single dimension. They make better. I would not have thi...read more

Blanc Smasher

Riverlands Brewing Company

American IPA - Imperial New England (INEIPA)

5.9 by scot

Purchased at Flight Bottle Shoppe on 2021-03-04. No date on can. Pours cloudy with an inch of white foam on top. Great retention. Spider web, sticky lacing begins immediately. Aroma/Taste there isn't much there that is distinct nor makes me believe I am partaking of a beverage that is leaning towards wine. Age? There isn't nothing wrong with the aroma or taste but nothing distinguishes them either. It has the case of the blahs which it transfers to me as well. Medium body, maybe more; s...read more

Patio Problems

Riverlands Brewing Company

American Lager

8.4 by scot

Purchased at Flight Bottle Shoppe on 2021-03-04. Date on can of 2021-02-17. Pours clear with a huge white foam brought on by a vigorous pour. Fleeting head. Aroma is definitely on the hop end. Big citrus: orange, grapefruit, lime, with pine. Lager yeast is way in the background. Hints of caramel. Taste is a mix of caramel and bread with orange, lime and huge late pine. The pine lingers and befriend the yeast in the finish. Creating a dry bitterness that builds and lingers without takin...read more

Aroma is bountiful: grapefruit, pine, mango, and orange. Hints of passion fruit and white grape. Taste isn't as plentiful as the aroma. More pine with mango and traces of orange, grapefruit. White grape comes in late and lingers with minimal alcohol burn, including some green hop bitterness. Medium body, possib...read more

DDH F-STOP

Phase Three Brewing

American IPA - Imperial New England (INEIPA)

7.1 by scot

Purchased at Flight Bottle Shoppe. Date on can of 2021-02-08. Going to start this off by saying this is just over a month old which really changes a NEIPA. We shall see. Pours cloudy with a nice white, creamy foam. Good retention. Lacing coats all the way. Aroma has sweet bread crust with hints of biscuit. Hops is subdued, especially to let that mealtimes shine. Catty, dank and cannabis. Not much fruit. Taste follows the nose. There is a sweet, biscuity sweetness that lingers. Medium b...read more

DDH Arguing Semantics

Cerebral Brewing

American IPA - Imperial New England (INEIPA)

7.3 by scot

Purchased at Flight Bottle Shoppe. No date on can. I hope it is fresh. Pours cloudy with a finger of white foam. Meanders back to level but minimal lacing. Aroma of sweet and ripe tropical fruits. Sweet. Peach. Taste is sweet peaches. The sweetness really steps up though. Medium body with huge carbonation. Dry finish that burns the throat, lingering. Combination of the ABV, carbonation, and bitterness. The burn/bitterness from this beer is bit much for me. The hop profile is peach...read more
