21st Amendment Special Edition Allies Win The War


Not bad. Pretty hoppy for this style of beer which I kind of liked. Nice dark fruit flavors and solid malt backbone,

Widmer Brothers Nelson Imperial IPA


I'm not sure if I got a bad batch or what, but this beer is horrible. Astringent and medicinal. Drain pour.

Casco Bay Brown Ale

Probably won't win any awards but it tasted ok, and it went down nicely while I sat in the hot tub.

Kulmbacher Edelherb Premium Pils

Aroma is bread and fresh grain. A tasty but somewhat typical European pilsner. It does have a nice subtle spiciness that I really liked.

Avery Joe's Premium American Pilsner

I like this beer, very refreshing. Nose is grass, earth, and floral hops. Flavor is very crisp and zesty with a nice little hop bite.

Avery IPA

citrus, pine, grapefruit. Pretty nice up front, but the finish was overly bitter in my opinion.

Spanish Peaks Chug's Private Stash Big Bite Peach Wheat

Not that great. It has a decent amount of peach flavor, but it tastes artificial and forced. Also has a little bit of a spice bite in the finish that is a little weird combine with the sweet peach.

New Belgium Snow Day

I had this at the Crabapple Tavern and I didn't have phone with me, so no picture. This is a nice black IPA. Nice malt backbone with a well balanced hop bitterness. Add in a little roasted malt and you have a tasty brew.

Lindemans Cassis Lambic

Fruity and sweet, but also tart. Definitely taste the black currants all day long. Good, but I doubt I would buy it again.

Stone 15th Anniversary Eacondidian Imperial Black IPA

Sorry to all you stone disciples out there, but I thought this was a horrible beer. I am convinced that It is getting high rating based on it's name alone. Extremely bitter and horrible balanced. I could hardly drink it.
