Foundation Burnside
Brown Ale - 5.1% ABV Pete I would say this is closer to a porter than a brown, but those styles are similar anyway. This has some very nice malty sweetness to it, and a richness that you might expect from dark beers. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |

Foundation Epiphany
IPA - 8% ABV Pete This is an incredible IPA. Its dominant flavor is pine from the hops, but you also get some citrus in the background. Even with all the great hoppy flavor, there isn't a ton of bitterness in the finish. Definitely worth finding if you're up in Maine. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |

Foundation Fading Light
Wild Ale - 8.5% ABV Pete This tastes quite a bit like cherries, and it has some funk to it. It's OK, but generally I don't think cherries combined with extra strong beers work all that well. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |

Foundation Guava's My Jam
Fruited Sour - 4.8% ABV Pete A tiny bit sour, a tiny bit salty, and tons of guava flavor. Guava might be becoming my favorite fruit for beer. I wish this was a tiny bit more sour, but that's really nitpicking. It's awesome. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |

Foundation Juicy Jam
Fruit Beer - 4.5% ABV Pete It's described as a sour by the brewery, and it has a tiny bit of tartness, but this is more of a straight up fruit beer. If you need to call it a sour to justify drinking it, go right ahead. I have no problem drinking fruity stuff, and this is a great one. It's a perfect option to mix it up from a hop-filled binge.

Foundation The Weekender
Session IPA - 3.8% ABV Pete Super refreshing. Easy drinking, fairly citrusy, but not too crazy. Perfect beer to ease into an evening when you're nursing a strong hangover. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |

Foundation Venture
Imperial IPA - 8% ABV Pete Really good citrusy IPA that isn't too bitter. Basically exactly as the brewery describes it. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |

Foundation Zuurzing
Sour - 5% ABV Pete Mildly sour beer, pretty drinkable, solid. Nothing to write home about though. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
