Hershey Flash Bourb'n Barrel-aged Pumpkin Ale
Where is the pumpkin or spice? I taste a tiny bit of boozy bourbon, but it is very light. It pretty much is a standard ale. Color was dark orange. Aroma was just beer, maybe a tiny bit of all spice, but really...nothing to make note of. Beer itself is great, but just doesn't follow style. Sweet smell and flavor. Tap at brewery.

The Decider ApPaul Revere Apple Pie Cider
Can from Smith's. Pours pale gold with min head. Nose was apple, pear, cinnamon. Tastes of apple, cinnamon, and pie crust. Wow, all the flavors are here, and the overall experience is a great one. Thus, I conclude that this one is indeed like apple pie in a glass.

Hershey Shake Your Tree
Draft at Brewery. Pours golden and cloudy with a white head. Leaves some lacing in the glass. Big peach on the nose. Interesting blend of peach and floral hops on the tongue. Finished clean. Almost seems like a cousin to a New England IPA. Nice!

Hershey Mean Cup Coffee Stout
Draft at brewery. Pours black with a thick khaki head. Leaves a fair amount of lacing in the glass. Massive brewed coffee on the nose which is quite pleasant. Huge coffee on the tongue but it’s overpowering the lactose. Finished fairly clean with a nice amount of coffee bitterness. If only the lactose were bigger it would be iconic. Still it’s quite tasty.

Watery brown ale with artificial chocolate flavor. Chocolate dominates nose and when I drink it I feel like brown ale was an afterthought.

The DeCider Presidential Peanut Butter
Draft at the Bainbridge Street Barrel House. Surprising clear pour, maybe a hint of gold. No head. Only modest carbonation. Aroma of crisp honey apple with some lemon zest. The flavor though is big and unusual. Chocolate peanut butter. Caramel apples. Chocolate oranges. Various Jolly Ranchers. Chocolate Twizzlers. Unexpected esters. Not sure I would want to drink a lot of this but it is worth the price of admission.

The DeCider Presidential Peanut Butter
Sample at PA cider Fest 6/25/2016 Holy Peanut Butter Batman! Pours like water. Very thin. Smells amazing, like freshly ground peanut butter. Would go great in a float but absolutely undrinkable in any large quantity I’d imagine. It’s super strong PB flavor is not meant to be gulped, but added to something else they said. Ohh boy.. good. very good in small doses. But it’s certainly a love it or hate it

Hershey Special Ops 01: Blue Angel Blueberry Pomegranate Wheat
Draft. Pours turbid, looking like unfiltered pineapple juice or one of those milkshake beers that are hit or miss. Anyhow, the nose was blueberry and pom, some wheat. Tasted a bit sweet and thick on the tongue, decent flavor, but a bit odd in the finish.

Hershey Mean Cup Coffee Stout - Bourbon
Bomber bottle served in tulip glass. Two finger head dissipates quick leaving a slight lacing. Aroma reminds me of a 7 Eleven. Some dark dry chocolate and cheap coffee notea. Taste is light and pleasant. Can?t find the bourbon barreled character. Tastes like a dry stout. Some unsweetened chocolate and coffee. lightly bitter, lightly sweet. Lightlt carbonated. Dry finish. Over all ok but disappointing. Tastes like a home brew quality.

Bottle if I remember correctly. Poured a very dark brown color, almost black with a brown head. Aroma was roasted malts, lots of chocolate notes - not wrong about the brownies notes in this one. Roasted coffee. Malts. Roast chocolate. Interesting!

Hershey Naughty & Spiced Winter Warmer
They may have fixed their design in 2015 based on previous ratings. Scent has nice all spice, clove, and nutmeg. Cloudy, opaque orange brown. Taste is sugary, brown sugars, yeasty and a full mouth feel. Middle is a touch watery sugar, but ends with a nice clove settling in the whole mouth. Nice warmer. Tap

Hershey Chocolate M.I.L.F.
Very well done. Cocoa stands out, but there is some coffee that picks up in the end. Sorta like having a chocolate scone with a weakly flavored mocha coffee...and adding some beer. Tap

Hershey Sap Sucker Maple Porter
Had a couple years ago and would have given it a 2, they have gotten better, but this isn’t a porter. The maple is strong in scent and sweet to the flavor. It’s really more of a maple brown ale. There’s not the richness that a porter deserves behind it. This time though at least you can taste some beer. Previously it was just maple abs water. Tap

Hershey Chocolate M.I.L.F.
Sample at brewfest. Pours brown with a thin khaki head. I'm not sure I get the name cause I get rich nuttiness on the nose and especially the tongue. When I think of a brown ale I'm hoping for something like this. Finished clean. I've been impressed with this brewer. I've got to get to Hershey to check them out. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
