The Cure #3 Blonde Ale: 5.0 – There’s a rich flavor of hops, but it’s really light and muted, and I wouldn’t like the #2 (which was lighter still)

7-Hills Session Ale: 6.0 – It’s a good flavor, but it’s not a great farmhouse beer.

Ommegang Aphrodite: 7.0 – It’s a very nice wine/peach kind of flavor with a more champagne/cider feel to it. Honestly it’s not as good, but a cousin to FV13 and Interlude.

Avocado Honey Ale: 5.5 – For what I was expecting out of a California Avocado/Honey hippie beer, this is actually a fairly good and unique tasting ale. Sadly I am not a huge avocado fan and my likes of this beer is that such flavor is subtle, but my dislike being that it’s still there.

Maredsous Abbey Ale: 5.5 – A very interesting tasting Belgium beer with a nice taste, but not one I’m that much of a fan of.

805 Blonde Ale: 6.0 – Very easy to drink, and has a great taste for a blonde. My only real complaint is that the taste just dies out really quickly.

Rincon MacBrown: 4.0 – The nuttiness of the brown ale certainly shows here, but otherwise the beer lacks a real impact – from a microbrew this was the beer I was hoping they would just ‘get right’ but alas.

Rincon Blonde: 3.0 – It’s meant to be light and refreshing, but they went a little too far – this isn’t like drinking water – it’s more like drinking air.

Tank 7 Boulevard: 7.0 – A really nice saison with a lot of complexity to its flavor. I am a major fan of this saison.

Via Cordis Abbey Blonde: 4.0 – It’s got a sweet hoppy flavor, but I really enjoy blondes where the flavor is forward instead of hidden behind some sweetness. (Bad joke: I also prefer the beer like that). It seems though that my new state of Mass is superior to CT, (who both lose to New Hampshire).
