Ying and Yang from Evil Twin brewing.

Ting is an imperial stout, slightly Smokey, hints of chocolate, strong caramel, sweet but not sickly so. Yang an imperial IPA strong, great floral scents, hint of grapefruit in the palate.  These two where made to be a unique black and tan.  Great stuff, only issue is that they are both at 10ABV.  I did a perfect black and tan pour but they mixed so quickly before I got a picture done.   I highly recommend these.

Peak Organic Local Series ME

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.
