Pretty things - Jack d'Or seasonal americane

Pretty things - Jack d'Or seasonal americans Pretty things beer & pale ale project inc. Westport, MA


Another pretty things beer. They all have really interesting labels, so I had to try this one.
Also, they have large bottles and a good amount of alcohol, this one 6.4%.
So, after pouring this beer, you set your eyes on a strong beer,
definitely brewed for wintertime. It has a thick white top of foam with thick bubbles that
retreats only slowly and leaves a thick rim on the glass. Its body is a thick and opaque blonde
color which matches the smell of a wheat beer with a good hint of hops very well. The beers
taste continues these impressions. It is very thick, has exactly the right amount of bitterness
to go with it and tastes of hops. Strongly of hops. The after taste lasts long and is also
decently bitter. What a great beer to be enjoyed by itself. Cheers!

New Grist - Beer made from sorghum and rice extract

New Grist - Beer made from sorghum and rice extract Lake fron Brewery, Milwaukee, WI


This is not New England brew per-se but to interesting to be skipped. When I poured this beer, I was
first confused whether this is not a white-wine. And this thought stayed with me the whole time.
It has a crispy, fresh foam top and its body color could easily make it pass as a white wine. It is
light and golden. Also the smell was pleasently dry and a little sweet. And this is exactly how it
tastes, as if someone blended a white-wine with a light summer beer. But in the good way. It has
a dry fruityness in its taste, some notes of hops and an unintrusive bitterness.

Bar Harbor - Blueberry Ale

Bar Harbor - Blueberry Ale    Atlantic Brewing Co. Porland, Maine

This ale is brewed with blueberry aromas, so another fruity treat. And you can already tell by its
smell that that this is not your average ale: malty, salt and a more than decent hint of sweetness
and fruit come up your nose. The looks are ale-ish of course, they feature a transparent amber brown
body and a thick, brown-ish crown of foam. The taste is really great, a to me previously
unknown, awesome blend of malt and berries. This makes this ale taste incredibly light. After your
first sip, a malty note stays on your toung.
This is a very refershing ale with a great taste of blueberries, exactly as advertised. Therefore
it also counts as one of the five units of fruit recommended per day.
