I have to admit, I am not a big fan of Pumpkin beers. There’s not a lot of good ones. Shipyard had a good one and so did Smuttynose. But overall, I’m not into it. Most of the time it tastes fake or overly spiced. But Wormtown Brewery has seemed to find a balance I…… MORE

The first whiff is all pineapple. More specifically, Dole, in the can, still in the juice. With…… MORE

From the moment I poured this one I caught a whiff of sweet citrus. Is it a tangelo? Or maybe a tangerine? Or nectarine? Now we’re veering into stone fruit territory. Definitely getting peach. Ripe peach, hops and pine. All this and I haven’t even taken a sip of Maine Beer Company’s Wolfe’s Neck IPA.…… MORE

That may come from the cold brewing process. But it’s from Greater Good, which…… MORE
