Foundation Afterglow, Venture; Green Flash West Coast IPA; Notch Teenage Riot, Lost Nation Gose

FOUNDATION, AFTERGLOW
Style: American IPA
Abv:  7%
Size, Price: 12oz, $8

From the Brewer: “Afterglow is an American IPA, rich in West Coast and South Pacific hop flavors and aroma.  The juicy malt base enhances the notes of tangerine, pine, and berries from the hops.  It finishes with a pleasingly dank and firm bitterness.”


GREEN FLASH WEST COAST IPA
Style: West Coast IPA
Abv.: 8.1%
Size, Price: 12 oz, $7.50

A classic expression of a west coast IPA.  With a recipe revamp in 2014, Green Flash upped the abv and the hop-profile-ante, with “Simcoe for tropical and grapefruit zest, Columbus for hop pungency, Centennial for pine notes, Citra for citrus zest and Cascade for floral aroma” layered throughout the brewing process.


NOTCH, TEENAGE RIOT
Style:  Session pale ale
Abv: 4.2%
Size, Price: 16oz, $6.75

A single hop pale ale, hopped exclusively with Hallertau Blanc for aromas of peach, grape and tea.  Crisp and refreshing.

LOST NATION, GOSE
Style: Gose
Abv.:  4.5%
Size, Price: 16oz, $7.00

A traditional German beer style that was all but extinct 30 years ago. An amazingly refreshing beer brewed with coriander and sea salt. The tart, dry finish combined with the hint of salt and citrus leaves your palate craving another sip.

FOUNDATION, VENTURE
Style:  Imperial IPA
Abv: 8%
Size, Price: 12oz, $8.00

Venture is a Maine IPA created to revel in the breadth of flavors and aromas that can be coaxed from hops. The blend of hops in this beer provide rich flavors of berries, tropical fruit, citrus and pine without lingering bitterness.  Unfiltered, with busy carbonation.The aroma is a fruit-filled feast of orange, tangerine, nectarine, and pineapple with a more muted toasted bread sweetness.  Medium bodied, with a vibrant fruit character on the palate and very little hoppy bitterness to the finish.
