Tulip @ RnH with Andy and Tara. Sweet-looking dark apple pour (deep ruby body, bright red hue). Nose is of vapory red fruits, but could be stronger. Palate is fruity - tart cherries, apple, pear, and some faint nuts (peanut?). A tiny bit of spice, but I’d say this is more of a fruit beer, and an awesome one at that. No booze to note. Light, watery mouthfeel, but still full of flavor. Not very sour, just sweet.

Location: Draft at RnH, 2/12/11
Aroma: The nose is fairly spicy with a sweet malt presence
Appearance: The pour is clear and amber in color with a lasting off-white head
Flavor: The taste is fairly balanced with some pumpkin spice and sweet malts
Palate: This one has a crisp and clean feel, almost pils-like, with a light-medium body
Overall Impression:
I really this one to be quite enjoyable. A very solid beer, and a nice example of the style. Quality stuff. I’d go for it again. So far I have found all the beers I’ve tried from Greenport to be quite good. I hope these guys continue to grow so I can try more of their beers.

Tap at Against the Grain. Hazy amber pour. Tight white head. The nose is lovely. Softly spicy but with a bit more malt backbone than is typical of the style. Sweet fruit bread/cake with lots of cardamom and allspice character. The sweetness really helps accentuate the warmer spicy notes. Lightly chewy with a bit of rye spiciness as well. Soft and sweet. Quite a lovely pumpkin ale - the spice really pops as it starts to warm up. Tasty stuff.

Amber/brown with a thin head. Nice spice aroma with some clove and cinnamon, along with a light herbal note. Medium to light bodied and smooth, just a bit of sourness on the finish.
