Peak Organic Fresh Cut Pilsner

Starting to get into the fall months, and then winter, so my beer preferences usually skew towards the darker and fuller varieties, but let's get in a nice pilsner while it's still warm wherever you are (it's always warm here).  Portland, Maine's Peak Organic Brewing Company only uses organic ingredients in there brews, and they've delivered a pretty tasty beer in the form of their Fresh Cut Pilsner.  The beer pours a light and hazy gold with a small, white head.  Aromas of citrus and cut grass clippings intertwine with some floral hints and pine notes.  The taste is crisp, citrus and grass with some touches of pale malt and light yeast and a nice, hoppy finish.  All in all, a really refreshing beer.  Hooray hippies!

Shipyard Pumpkinhead Ale

I actually tried this guy a few weeks ago, and i'm just now getting around to writing about it.  Also i've been a little sick.  And i'm busy.  Who are you to judge?  Get off my back!  Whew!  Now that that unpleasantness is out of the way, on to the beer.  Shipyard Pumpkinhead Ale from Shipyard Brewing out in Portland, Maine is a pretty serviceable pumpkin ale.  It's not too flashy, but it doesn't really need to be.  The brew pours a light amber and gives off an aroma of nutmeg, cinnamon, and pumpkin.  As for taste, seasonal spices, a hint of bitterness, and some sweetness on the back end.  Overall, a decent beer for the fall.
