A mellow amber color with a nice light foamy head. The scent of grapefruit and mellow hops comes out with the pour. The front has a mellow hoppiness with a back of roasted malt. This series from Peak is made with the same basic recipe but with ingredients from its namesake stake.
Price point of under 6.00, ABV of 6.8%

Gritty's Nuptial Ale
Nice dark amber color. I would put it at around 6 to 7 ABV. Nice caramel flavors. Low hop flavors. If you have tried Shipyard Prelude and liked it then you will like this. I had it at their Lewiston-Auburn local. It was made to celebrate an employee's wedding.

Mystic Bridge IPA
Out of CT this is a "standard" IPA. No frills or over hoping here. Very drinkable, would be great during summer or spring yard work. In hindsight I should of picked up the one other brew from this CT Brewer. There isn't much in CT for small product brewing, which is too bad.

Gueuze Tilquin
A very good Belgian Lambic. Sharp grapefruit tartness presides. Bubbly smooth body, a fruity citrus nose. Damn I love a good sour ale!!!

Tasman Red
A new brew from Sam Adams. Not bottle conditioned, oh well. A red IPA at 6.75ABV. Nice grapefruit hoppiness. Some earthy malt, I didn't really catch any toffee flavor in there. Overall a nice twist on the red ale and an IPA.
Oxbow Farmhouse Ale
Smooth upfront, slightly yeasty. Nice mellow bitterness at the end. Excellent local beer, new and I am excited to see what else they come out with.
