On Tap: Turn It On, Nugget Nectar, Hoppy Table, Unified Press, Nelson Free Rise

NOTCH, TURN IT ON

Style: Session IPA
Abv:  4.3 %
Size, Price:  16 oz., $7.50

A draft only offering from Notch, our friends up in Salem, MA.  Notch produces exclusively session style beers.  


Nose: Intense tropical fruit and citrus
Tasting Notes: Bright, citrusy, and slightly creamy due to the use of a British malt.  



TROEGS, NUGGET NECTAR

Style: Imperial Amber
Abv:  7.5%
Size, Price:  16 oz., $8.00

This is a spring seasonal from Troegs.  They add whole-flower Nugget hops to their hopback vessel during the brewing of their imperial amber.

Nose & Flavor: Intensely hoppy, exploding with citrus, resin, and pine aromatics.  A slightly sweet undertone due to the amber malt, but definitely a beer for hopheads.




ALLAGASH, HOPPY TABLE BEER

Style: Belgian Pale Ale
Abv:  4.8%
Size, Price:  16 oz., $7.50

While Hoppy Table Beer was inspired by the Belgian tradition of low-ABV, easily drinkable beers, it still occupies a hop-forward spot all its own. Brewed with our 2-row malt blend, Maris Otter malt, and oats, the beer is then spiced with a subtle addition of coriander. We ferment it with our house yeast for classic Belgian citrus aromas. Hoppy Table Beer is hopped with Chinook, Cascade, Comet, and Azacca hops, then dry hopped with more Comet and Azacca.

Nose: Mildly hoppy, grapefruits
Flavor: Light bodied.  Pine, stonefruit, balanced out by a clean, slightly bitter finish.



CITIZEN, UNIFIED PRESS

Style: Cider
Abv:  6.9%
Size, Price:  16 oz., $7.50

Made from 100% locally sourced apples, never from concentrate, the Unified Press is Citizen Cider’s flagship cider that keeps you wondering where it’s been your whole life. This naturally gluten-free cider is made from apples grown and pressed at Happy Valley Orchard in Middlebury, VT.  Suggested pairings include pork (we have that!), soft cheeses (that too!), spicy food, smoked fish, and rustic bread&butter.

Nose & Flavor: Crisp, clean, and slightly off-dry.  Tastes and smells just like those beautiful New England apples it is made from.



TRILLIUM, NELSON FREE RISE

Style: Saison
ABV: 7.3%
Size, Price: 16oz, $8.75

This special edition of Free Rise, one of our signature farmhouse ales, highlights locally sourced Danko Rye from Valley Malt and Nelson in the dry hop.

Nose  & Flavor: Zesty lime & citrus hop profile is balanced with subtle, nutty malt character and a delicate black pepper spice. Light in body, with a clean, bone-dry finish.
