White Birch Indulgence Ale: 4.5 – I’m not sure what exactly I was expecting with this, but as far as “Indulgence” goes this feels very weak and normal, nothing really indulging, or heavy or flavorful that makes it worthy of the title. It’s not a light ale or not without flavor, but it’s really no different than an amber or brown ale.

603 Brewery Winni Ale Amber Ale: 3.5 – As far as Amber Ales go I was not a huge fan of this, categorically it wasn’t bad, nor was it something where it was just distinctive, it just felt so underwhelming. Amber ale’s are usually the bread and butter of brewing companies where it’s often very high-middle of the road, and they go out from there.

Plum Island Belgian White: 5.5 
Another unfiltered Belgian White beer made with Coriander and Orange Peel. This is something that has become commonplace for most beer companies to do and is about the fifth new one I have tried. Though it may be boring, it doesn’t mean it isn’t good. Sold in cans which makes it one of the best beers I had ever had from a can. Fairly average but good.

Boneshaker Brown Ale: 6 – Very easy drinking, goes down smoothly, but the taste is classic brown ale. I see why it comes in the can.

Hayride Autumn Ale: 6.25 – Got a good initial taste to it, and it certainly has got a bunch of nice flavors, very festive. The Buffalo however is not a huge fan of the aftertaste, which reminds him of Pumpking (not a good thing.)

Fogbuster Coffeehouse Ale: 6.75 – Slightly different to be expected being an ale, instead of a porter) for a coffeehouse. It’s certainly a good beer, and being me I like that even though the coffee is strong, it’s not overwhelming. Quite good.

Wachusett Quinn Amber Ale: 5/10 – More like an Irish red ale instead of an amber. It blends that pit of spice with it’s beer, and overall it’s not bad, but it’s not a great beer.

Sorry this article is a week late, but I tried to login to the site at three separate occasions only to get a server error – which I took as a sign to get really drunk for my birthday and burn a pizza box using my fridge. Either way we come now to the final review of the Nauticon Panel and as you should – we’re finishing with a beer. A beer so rare only a single brand of store sells it, in essentially a single state, in a single part of the country.
Our first foray was Shipyard’s main beer which is their Export Ale, but like most beers that are standard for the line we weren’t impressed though we acknowledge at times it’d be a great beer to have. Certainly above average it’s just not something we’d really go far that much.
Shipyard Export Ale: 6.6/10 – Good taste, it doesn’t grab us though. It’s got a nice flavor though, and the taste is a bit more bitter than your average Sam Adams or Smuttynose, but again it’s standard by release and taste.
Google Shop Average: (Prices at Brew Haus for Draught) – $5.50

Allagash Four Ale: 7.8/10 – Complex, and we really can’t get away from that. It’s very rich in flavor and is quite tasty for a beer. We really don’t think to apply the word complex to a beer, but that is exactly what’s going on here. We really enjoy this beer and we wonder why more beers don’t offer beers this complex by blending.
