East Coast Common: 5.0 – This is a really pale and hoppy lager. Not a huge fan of it, and while it has some other aspects its overpowered by the hoppiness that it’s merely a standard pale lager
Price Average: East Coast Common $8

Sylph Farmhouse Ale: 6.0 – It has a bit of real tartness that is very prevalent. It otherwise though is simply a delicious farmhouse ale.

Engels 7.0 – This did not start well with the massive amount of head (not even a big beer), but the taste is a great mix of malty, bitter,and tartness. Quite frankly it tastes delicious and is dangerously easy drinking.
Price Average: Engels $9

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

Kapuziner Weissbier: 6.0 – It’s got a nice light flavor to it, and there’s a bit of almost banana in there. It is also very drinkable. Not as complex as you would hope though. That could be biasing on the name sounding like a Zaku from Gundam, but it’s really just a light slightly nutty/banana weissbier.

Tom Swamp Road: 6.0 – That is exactly as light as you can get with a stout before people stop calling it a stout. What it lacks in depth, density, or complexity it makes up for in how easy it is to drink.

Shabadoo: 5.0 – It’s a black and tan combo that actually tastes quite good. Sadly it’s a black and tan combo meaning the blend of the beers affects the layering. Also while this was freshly opened the beer felt flat unlike a fresh black and tan would.
Price Average: Shabadoo $5
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
Forty Things We Share : 4.0 – Imagine a pale ale mixed with orange soda. That gives you an idea of the look, and to a certain degree the taste this beer provides. Its an okay hoppy pale ale (apparently is an American Double/IPA and Imperial), but the citrus here is more like koolaid citrus… I can’t find any mention of it on the site, and if it wasn’t showing up on the old BA and untapp’d I’d almost question if it really existed at all.

Unibroue Terrible Ale: 4.5 – There’s a bit of tartness and there’s a lot of enjoyment in this dark ale. However while it’s so close to being a great beer, there’s something else about this as an undercurrent. Something that makes this just an okay beer.
Price Average: Unibroue Terrible Ale $10
