Ungespundet-Hefetrub: 6.5 – There’s not been a lot of lagers here of late, and that is by no means our fault. It is nice to have one again even if the name is so unprounecable it might as well be gibberish. As for the beer itself, it’s malty and nutty and delicious. The overall taste is a bit short, but we suspect that’s intentional to have you drink a lot.

Sliding into the DMs: 6.5 – Dammit. That’s actually pretty damn delicious. Much like a guilty pleasure White Chocolate Mocha Latte from the ‘Bucks this is something enjoyable, but holy fuck is it pretentious. This honestly might have the most cringey name for a beer we’ve ever seen, but we can’t deride it for being wasteful, because it is actually tasty – despite it being not very beer-y.

Happy memorial day folks, in honor of the American holiday we figured we should get something all American. However much like a lot of stuff going on in America right now, this is just really not as good as we’d like it to be. Hey, at least it’s gluten-free and organic because that’s what we look for in juice that makes you vomit among other bad decisions.
Zywiec 1881 Porter: 7.0 – It’s very malty, and there’s a twinge of spice akin to cayenne that reminds you of a mexican hot cocoa alongside the other roasted malt flavor. Overall it’s a delicious porter. There’s no faults, and while the final aftertaste is a bit ‘bland’ it has other flavors to help it out.

This was purchased for a friend as a Christmas gift, it was given to them in late April and then (among another 2 gifts) was forgotten here. So having taken some initial notes the night before, and a follow-up glass we bring you something unique. However much like that bent fork in your silverware drawer that you hate but won’t throw out, there are some downsides.
I Love Lamp: 5.0 – If you came here signed up for pineapple, you are at least in luck – it is there. However the initial taste of the beer with it’s muted spices feels more like an ale mixed with pineapple juice. It’s not great almost like a nothing beer despite this flavor, but it does give way to a classic pineapple aftertaste. The main problem is that those who like pineapple alot will be disappointed alongside those who like beer – should be fun for a BBQ sauce though.

Bacardi has graced our shores a few times, and whether it comes Gold, White, Spiced, of screaming in hellfire they’ve always had a slight around average rum. So we were expecting more of the same for the black. Of course, we knew it would be no Kraken, but what actually poured into the glass was truly surprising. It was utter shit.
Pub Style Pale Ale: 5.0 – It’s a little sweet and nutty, but otherwise fits the idea of a more ‘pub style’ beer you’d expect to get in a British pub, even if it’s not really a ‘pale ale’. As for a typical Maine beer it’s certainly easy to see this more with some hearty winter grub than seafood, but overall it’s a passable beer.
