100 fm the pike Sonic Beer Blog #33: Foam Brewers #1 Hit Jam Imperial Fruited Sour Ale This very berry sour from Vermont s Foam Brewers is smooth and fruity but beware, it does pack a (fruit)punch I m a huge fan of all berries and this ale does not disappoint in that department A heavy whiff of earthy raspberry and blackberry with a light floral swirl on the pour It had a beautiful light plum color with a healthy pink foam that dissipated quickly The first sip was all the berries they say it is; blackberry, raspberry and black currant More tart than sour and a bit of grain It was on the finish that the 10% ABV slapped the back of my head! Very boozy on the finish with a sour bite and more raspberry This is the only problem I have with this one: It s too delicious and has a great mouthfeel which makes it hard not to crush At 10%, this could get you into trouble Take it slow and savor this bacciferous(yes, that s a word) liquid The Sonic Pairing: A great example of smooth and sweet with a sneaky punch is The Posies 1993 power pop gem, Frosting On The Beater At that time the trend was down-tuned and dark But The Posies released a radiant and candied set of songs crafted with caramel, nougat and nuts with a real distorted crunch After the intro tracks Dream All Day and Solar Sister you can t help but finish the whole cherry cobbler of an album After Flavor Of The Month and Definite Door you ll be hearing Wilford Brimley yelling DIABEETUS along with the sweet crisp hooks

This very berry sour from Vermont's Foam Brewers is smooth and fruity but beware, it does pack a (fruit)punch. I'm a huge fan of all berries and this ale does not disappoint in that department. A heavy whiff of earthy raspberry and blackberry with a light floral swirl on the pour. It had a beauti

100 fm the pike Sonic Beer Blog #32: Blaze Brewing Co /Around The Horn Brewing Co Ice Cream Pop Sour Ale This sour is not very sour at all But that s ok! It is infinitely delicious non the less This bi-coastal collaboration between Blaze brewing Co out of Maine and Around The Horn Brewing from California is an absolute delight! It s a milk-shake ale brewed with strawberries, bananas, pineapple, lactose and a Dole Whip(which is a smoothie made of bananas, pineapple, coconut and lime) The sour part is more of a light tartness which is up front with the strawberry and banana The finish is coconut and vanilla It s a well balanced swirl of fruity flavors that brought an immediate smile to my beer hole I was actually sad when I had emptied Das Boot but then immediately remembered I had more! It was kind of like remembering it was a four day workweek on Wednesday The Sonic Pairing: For this carousel of sweet flavors that drinks easy and smooth I chose Come On Feel The Lemonheads by Boston s alt-pop masters The Lemonheads Their history has roots in Punk but after a few albums lead Lemonhead, Evan Dando, learned how to write candied ditties that still sound a little frayed from too many miles in the van From the soaring melodies of The Great Big No , the spare richness of Into Your Arms or the country lilt of Big Gay Heart it s like a sampler platter of your favorite Christmas cookies Even sad songs like Favorite T leave you with a honeyed taste in your mouth

This "sour" is not very sour at all. But that's ok! It is infinitely delicious non the less. This bi-coastal collaboration between Blaze brewing Co. out of Maine and Around The Horn Brewing from California is an absolute delight! It's a milk-shake ale brewed with strawberries, bananas, pineapple,

100 FM The Pike Sonic Beer Blog # 31: 450 North Brewing Reefer Nuggets American IPA We ll just start off with this disclaimer: Although the name and the can may imply it, THERE IS NO CANNABIS IN THIS BEER! Now that we have that out of the way, I ll say 450 Brewing s Reefer Nuggets is a complex tropical fruit and citrus experience that pairs well with a fat Slurricane pre-roll The notes of pepper, cloves, and rosemary is a great contrast to the honeydew, tropical fruit and light hopiness of this brew At first whiff you get the fruits with caramel First sip hits with hops and grapefruit rind with the sweetness coming in right after The finish is dry with more hops and citrus With all this going on it s still a smooth drinking experience It is 8% ABV so be careful if you do enjoy it with some icky-sticky The Sonic Pairing: The word Kaya is a slang term for cannabis and also the name of a sweet jam made of coconut milk, eggs and sugar It s also the name of a Bob Marley And The Wailers album that contains some sweet jams about weed See how it all comes together?(or that may be the Slurricane pre-roll talking) In between the militant message driven albums Exodus and Survival, Bob and the band made Kaya, a much more laid back album of love songs to Jah, women, and Mary Jane The opening track Easy Skanking sets the tone with the refrain take it easy This album also has one of the sweetest love songs with Is This Love It s main message: While you re fighting the evils in this world don t forget to take the time to enjoy the good things in life Don t be the fool in the song Time Will Tell Get some Kaya now and enjoy with a sweet beer and a sweet love

We'll just start off with this disclaimer: Although the name and the can may imply it, THERE IS NO CANNABIS IN THIS BEER! Now that we have that out of the way, I'll say 450 Brewing's Reefer Nuggets is a complex tropical fruit and citrus experience that pairs well with a fat Slurricane pre-roll.

100 FM The Pike Sonic Beer Blog #30: Wormtown Brewery Fresh Patch Pumpkin Ale I have to admit, I am not a big fan of Pumpkin beers There s not a lot of good ones Shipyard had a good one and so did Smuttynose But overall, I m not into it Most of the time it tastes fake or overly spiced But Wormtown Brewery has seemed to find a balance I enjoy Less spice, more gourd I tend to like the ales that taste like fresh pumpkin more than full on pumpkin pie You know, like the Pilgrims made it…or maybe it was the people the Pilgrims kicked out of Plymouth Plantation for making the Devil s brew That s what you get with Fresh Patch A fresher pumpkin taste with little sweetness and spice The spices that come through in the nose are cinnamon and a bit of clove It also has a healthy dose of malt and gourd The first sip hits you with allspice and ginger with a hint of vanilla More spicy ginger and malt on the finish with this light bodied seasonal It s easy to drink and since it s not overly sweet I don t get sick of it after a couple I also found it to be a great accompaniment a fried bologna sandwich with spicy mustard and purple onion It s a real breath killer The Sonic Pairing: The obvious choice would be It s The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown Soundtrack Then I thought that would be corny Then I thought screw it I love that album It s got the familiar standards of Linus And Lucy and The Charlie Brown Theme But the Halloween focused tracks are actually creepy With it s evil laughter and ghoulish howling laid over a West Coast Jazz style jam it sounds like something you would hear in a 70 s cocktail lounge…if it was full of zombies and Freddy Kruger was the bartender Fanfare/Breathless/Trick Or Treat has a haunting flute solo with sounds of Snoopy hiding from the Red Baron during battle and sounds of running footsteps and soft thunder Pianist, Vince Guaraldi is a master at capturing a mood No one would put a rock in his trick or treat bag

I have to admit, I am not a big fan of Pumpkin beers. There's not a lot of good ones. Shipyard had a good one and so did Smuttynose. But overall, I'm not into it. Most of the time it tastes fake or overly spiced. But Wormtown Brewery has seemed to find a balance I enjoy. Less spice, more gourd.

100 Fm The Pike Sonic Beer Blog #27: Lawson s Finest Liquids Hazy Rays New England IPA Here we are, first week into October and it s 84 degrees with a hazy sky and I m sweating like Mac Jones at the post-game podium Summer seems to be like that last person at the bar that s been asked to leave twice and is still hanging on to the stool as he s being dragged out the door And I m ok with that! I love Summer and I m always sad to see it go so an extension is always welcome I enhanced that Summer feeling with a cold Lawson s Finest Hazy Rays They call it a juicy New England IPA but it s actually pretty light on the hops and more malty with a slight tropical fruit finish It s slightly sweet and effervescent which makes it perfect on a steamy day The Sonic Pairing: Light, effervescent, sweet? Those are the vibes I get from Slightly Stupid s 2004 live acoustic release, Live And Direct: Acoustic Roots This session recorded in one take is a great hang on the porch with the feet up listen Just two acoustic guitars, Kyle McDonald and Miles Doughty playfully singing originals like Sensimilla , Collie Man , and Souled as well as a couple of covers including a sweet version of Used To Love Her by Guns-N-Roses Their chemistry flows like this thirst quenching ale from my boot to my mouth and I am feeling no pain and chill in this unseasonable heat Cool Down indeed

Here we are, first week into October and it's 84 degrees with a hazy sky and I'm sweating like Mac Jones at the post-game podium. Summer seems to be like that last person at the bar that's been asked to leave twice and is still hanging on to the stool as he's being dragged out the door. And I'm ok
