White Birch Indulgence Ale

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

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.

Shipyard Mint Chocolate Stout

Shipyard Mint Chocolate Stout: 5.5 – I admit I was rather excited by this due to Shipyard’s record of flavored beers (Pumpkinhead comes to mind); however the taste here is sadly just not enough mint. You get those chocolate flavors, and the stout is still there, and then like a whisper the mint is at the end, and it’s just a bit too weak.

Plum Island Belgian White

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.
