Lamplighter Alyosha
Patersbier - 5.8% ABV Pete I learned a new style of beer today (8/30/18). Nice. The flavor is almost exactly like a Belgian witbier. This one specifically tastes just like a slightly mellower version of Allagash White, which some people might like even more. Hard to be a bad beer with that comparison. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |

Lamplighter Astral Weeks
Brett Sour - 4.5% ABV Pete There's a lot of mild flavors here. A hint of lemon, hint of funk, hint of sour. It works together. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Lamplighter Birds Of A Feather
IPA - 6.8% ABV Pete Awesome IPA. It smells super citrusy and the taste matches that with a dry grapefruit bitterness to it in the finish. Plus, I drank this during the Eagles Super Bowl win behind enemy lines. GO BIRDS. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |

Lamplighter Blame It On My Juice
Fruited Gose - 4.2% ABV Pete Subtle flavors but a damn good beer. A hint of salt and a tiny bit sour, with some fruit flavor in the finish. Probably didn't need the extra saltiness to go with the oysters, but whatever, I enjoyed it. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |

Lamplighter Blitzen
Belgian Strong Dark Ale - 8.8% ABV Pete It doesn't taste all that strong. Great beer that just oozes Belgium. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Lamplighter Cherry Pie
Belgian Strong Ale - 8.8% ABV Pete I didn't really taste cherry, but this is still good (maybe that's why). It tastes very Belgian, and has a tiny bit of funk to it. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Lamplighter Ele
Saison - 5.1% ABV Pete Pretty easy to drink, mild saison. There's some spiciness to it, can definitely tell it's a saison, but it doesn't blow you away with flavor. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
|
Lamplighter Group Theory
Pale Wheat Ale - 5.3% ABV Pete Tastes like herbal tea going down with a beery aftertaste. A little different, but very easy to drink. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
|
Lamplighter Jamberry w/Guava & Mango
New England IPA - 6.7% ABV Pete I had very high hopes for a guava & mango IPA. This is a solid beer, but it didn't live up to that. It's more of a fruit beer than an IPA (not that there's anything wrong with that), and it's pretty mellow. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
|
Lamplighter Possible Impossible
Fruit Beer - 4.7% ABV Pete This is billed as a light fruit beer. I got more mellow saison-like spicy flavors, but it was pretty tasty either way. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
|
Lamplighter Rabbit Rabbit
Imperial New England IPA - 8.5% ABV Pete Very tasty IPA. Lots of citrus, a hint of peppery-ness, but also quite bitter, much different from most NEIPA's. A great bridge beer if you want to go from the NEIPA to the old-school versions. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Lamplighter Skyward
IPA - 7.5% ABV Pete Pretty good IPA, but the flavors are pretty mellow (maybe a little citrusy); I wanted more. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
|
Lamplighter Sneaker Wave
New England IPA - 6.8% ABV Pete Tons of citrus flavors, along with some savory flavor from the thyme, but the texture is a bit too creamy for me to fall in love. Still, I'd get it again and enjoy it. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
|
Lamplighter So Much For Subtlety
Imperial IPA - 8.5% ABV Pete Doesn't taste strong, which is impressive at that level, but it really doesn't have all that much flavor either. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
|
Lamplighter So Pitted
New England IPA - 5.2% ABV Pete Collaboration with Vitamin Sea. Juicy pineapple with a tiny bit of vanilla and coconut. It's halfway between cocktail and beer, and it's delicious. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Lamplighter Sound & Vision
Wild Ale - 4.3% ABV Pete Pretty good sour beer with just a tiny hint of hops. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
|
Lamplighter Stardust
IPA - 7.1% ABV Pete Solid IPA. No specific flavors to write home about, but it's good. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
|
Lamplighter Werewolves of Cambridge
Porter - 6.7% ABV Pete Nice and toasty but not too heavy porter. Great beer. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
