Oak Pond Brewing Nut Brown Ale

Nut Brown Ale: 6.0 – That is a really nutty ale, and I mean really nutty. I enjoy it, but its more a curiosity instead of a thing I’d go back to. This was a gift from one of our old reviewers as the beer from the town he was born in (Silent Hill), which is in the middle of Maine so this is sort of a hard find for you dear reader.

Price Average: Nut Brown Ale $?? Gift, and can’t find price

Cambridge Brewing Company The Great Pumpkin Ale

The Great Pumpkin Ale: 6.0 – An okay pumpkin ale? Sure, but a great pumpkin ale? Not really I’m afraid. While its got a nice balance of pumpkin vs spice flavor its slightly above par and that’s it. I commend them for not going full spice (or more recently like Sam Adams 20lbs full vegetable) but it’s overall flavor and enjoyment is simply not ‘great’

Price Average: Name $8

Avery Brewing Co. The Beast Grand Cru Ale

The Beast: 2.0 – It’s sweet and syrupy in all the wrong ways. There’s certainly depth here, and apparently a high alcohol content. It tastes like the worst result of a bourbon barrel aging, and then some. Quite honestly this was not finished and was poured out, which is never a good sign. The score would be lower aside from the rare chance that someone with a ‘unique’ palate looking for something like this would love it, but just because someone like Durian doesn’t mean it’s a highly ranked food.
