  • Ten Bends Hovered Ridge Double IPA
    rated 4.1 2 years ago

    Aroma: 9 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 9 | Overall: 8

    Big long-lasting nose of overripe tropical fruits and some very suitable dankness I'm guessing that ladder comes from the Nelson hops. Fogged pale apricot body topped with a skim coat that leaves suds but not really lace on the side of the glass. Mouth is nice a little creamy good carbonation level with just a hint of tingle almost chewy, almost chewy. Hello I'm weary of NEIPA's this is pretty tasty. A dank dryness coming through at the end really changes this up. Hints of cinnamon and brown sugar at first but levels out with a tartness that finishes dry and as I mentioned dank. I like it.

    Dark malts and dark overripe fruit in the nose. Opaque deep deep Brown body with a decent head and lovely lace. Medium bodied with a nice carbonation level a bit slick on the tongue and somewhat drying. Unapology sweet with dark chocolate flavors espresso and cotton candy it is a fairly dry finish and the finish is lengthy.

  • Cigar City Maduro Oatmeal Brown Ale
    rated 3.6 2 years ago

    Aroma: 9 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 5 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 8

    Sweet malt, chocolate, coffee and some high pine notes in the nose. Dark brown not quite opaque body is topped with a caramel colored skim coat that leaves pretty nice suds and some lace. Mouth is pretty light almost watery not a lot of carbonation in the tongue. Flavor not nearly as sweet as the nose black coffee comes through and dominates the aftertaste. There's some deeply roasted malt flavors. Just a hint of dark fruit in the beginning. Very very drinkable somewhat drying.

  • New England Style IPA (Ale for ALS)
    rated 2.7 2 years ago

    Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 3 | Overall: 3

    This beer is not listed on the website don't know if it's seasonal or was a one time and gone deal. Absolutely huge nose. Typical tropicals plus peach. Fully hazed pale apricot body skim coat that leaves nice lace. Mouth is slick and tingly light bodied. SALTY and not in a good way. No malt no yeast all tropical hop flavors and a huge saltiness.

  • Big Tree Brewing Mr. Waterbury
    rated 3.7 2 years ago

    Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 8

    Big Citron nose knocks you out when you open it. Moderately hazed body pale apricot with small white head that leaves little lace. Nice medium mouth slightly slippery low but decent carbonation with a little tingle. The malts are sweet the citra is intense and not very balanced the finish is dry it's quite drinkable.

  • LOTS
    rated 3.8 2 years ago

    Aroma: 9 | Appearance: 5 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 8

    Powerful nose...tangerine, pineapple, violets, caramelized sugar. Hazy pale gold with minimal head and no lace (a look I seem to find in most Kent Falls IPA's) Nice in the mouth, mild carbonation, slippery, medium in body. Tasty, slightly bitter, orange/tangerine pith and zesty oils, smashable with alcohol well masked, short finish is clean and ever so slightly astringent.

    Floral nose with se pine. Copper body strong lace skim coat. Medium bodied light carbonation not too slippery. On style strong malt body and quite old school bitterness.

  • Hero Premium Pilsner
    rated 3.8 2 years ago

    Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 9 | Overall: 8

    Lovely nose...lemon,floral meadow, fresh cut grass. Clear gold body with little head and no lace. A bit fizzy in the mouth and thinish but ok for type. Very refreshing super clean finish. Nicely hopped mild grassy notes. A hint of sour. Poundable times 10.

  • Sweetwater 420 Strain G13
    rated 3.2 2 years ago

    Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 5 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6

    Does have a bit of that dank pot aroma in the nose. Average hazy IPA appearance not much lace. Mouth is a bit thin. Doesn't really taste like 6% in fact it tastes a lot like like many low alcohol ipas, not that this is one but it tastes like one, essentially as if you're just drinking hop water. I think the malt characteristic could be stronger it does just ever so slightly remind me of losing a bet and having to drink the bong water.

  • Kent Falls Haircuts For Everybody
    rated 3.4 2 years ago

    Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

    Nose as unusual as its name. Very faint vanilla, bubblegum, touch of grass. NEIPA milkshake body is cloudy pale peach, moderate off-white head leaves skim coat and no lace. Thin body, good tingle. Non-descript flavor profile is un-complex, surprisingly pils-like, grass, apricot, sessionable.
