Game Day Beer Review: Sebago Brewing Boathouse American Brown Ale

(4.80% ABV).  Poured on draft into a pint glass in Maine, Sebago Brown is indeed appropriately named. It's dark -- in fact, it's very dark. The beer's smell has not inherited the color's boldness, though: it's almost timid, with some mild mannered roasted malts making their presence know -- but just barely.

There's not a lot going on, taste-wise, either, with this beer. It's most notable feature is the off-peanuty-tasting finish, kinda like a roasted pack of Planters. It's very dry, and not quite to my liking: B-

Game Day Beer Review: Sebago Brewing Bass Ackwards Blueberry Ale

(4.00% ABV).  Served on draft in Maine, Bass Ackwards Blueberry is probably a better name for a beer than it is an actual beer.  But it's not all bad.  It poured a clear, golden color, with a smell of pure blueberry pancakes. Actually made me kind of hungry for breakfast, as a matter of fact.  Good thing we were staying at a Bed and Breakfast...!

The taste was actually better than I expected, not complex and very clean.  It was all blueberry, and highly carbonated. It's definitely drinkable, but probably best for Summer: B.
