79 Angry Orchard Crisp Apple United States Cider 3.9

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

pours and looks like a lager with a small white head that hangs around for a while and leaves a little lace. The aroma is apples very sweet apples. The taste is of course sweet apples and it's highly refreshing, but it's not over powering in anyway. The server told me Sam Adams makes this, I looked it up on internet to confirm it was so. This explains why this cider looked so much more like a beer then a cider.

94 Atlantic Bar Harbor Blueberry Ale United States Fruit Beer 3.3

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

Pours a translucent amber hue with a moderately thin off white head, which dissipated within a minute or so leaving decent amount of lace. The aroma is of arley sweetness, with just a twinge of blueberry. I cannot detect any hops in the aroma. The taste is sweet, blueberry is a little more prominant in the taste than the aroma. Barley sweetness arrives early, blueberry comes in towards the middle, and just a touch of hop bitterness on the back end to help balance things out. The blueberry is most prominant, but adds a touch of sourness that gives the beer a little character. And the hops, although mild, are noticeable and much appreciated. The mouthfeel is light boided and the carbonation a shade low for my preferences.

100 Avery India Pale Ale United States IPA 3.5

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

pours a murky medium orange with some yellow highlights and a small white creamy head that was somewhat lasting, which produced some excellent sheeting of lace that coated the glass. The aroma was of floral and spruce hops, a grain malt and a soapy yeast with notes of caramel and citrus (grapefruit). The taste was nicely bitter and lightly malty with a mild sweet caramel undertone from the start, progressing into a nice bitter hoppy taste with just a hint of citrus at the end. The mouthfeel was medium in body with a dry texture and a mild carbonation.
