Otter Creek Brewing (Wolaver's and Shed)
Middlebury, VT (We've had too many of these. See page 2 here.)
Otter Creek Backseat Berner
IPA - 7% ABV Pete I don't love this IPA. I can't put my finger on what about it I don't like, or any specific flavor, it just doesn't really work for me. Ratings: Pete - 3 Shyoh's |
|
Otter Creek Black IPA
IPA - 6.0% ABV Pete This is a very good beer. It is smooth and tasty as a porter going down, and it stays with you like an IPA when you put it down. Great combination. It makes me wonder why I don't see more black IPA's around. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Otter Creek Copper Ale
Amber Ale - 5.4% ABV Pete This beer is good, but it needs something else to put it over the top. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
|
Otter Creek Double Or Nothing
Barleywine - 10.5% ABV Pete Extremely maple-y flavored, just plain too sweet for me. Don't really taste the booze though. Ratings: Pete - 3 Shyoh's |
|
Otter Creek Free Flow
IPA - 6% ABV Pete Great piney IPA that's super easy to drink. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Otter Creek Fresh Slice
White IPA - 5.5% ABV Pete This is an interesting beer. It tastes fruity and bitter, but not like hoppy bitter. It really does leave an aftertaste as if you bit too much of the rind of a piece of fruit. I've never had that in a beer before, but it works. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
|
Otter Creek Hop Session
Pale Ale - 4.25% ABV Pete This is really good. Not too bitter, but a nice hop flavor. It really is something you can drink all day. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Otter Creek Kind Ryed
IPA - 6.5% ABV Pete This is a solid IPA. It is a little bitter but not too overwhelming, and has a nice hint of citrus. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Otter Creek Oktoberfest
Amber Ale - 4.8% ABV Pete This is a very good beer. One of the best fall seasonals I've had. It has some nice, spicy flavors and finishes smooth. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Otter Creek Otter Summer
Wheat Beer - 4.9% ABV Pete Not much going on here. A hint of lemon is really the only flavor I can taste. Ratings: Pete - 3 Shyoh's |
|
Otter Creek Over Easy
IPA - 4.6% ABV Pete This is a solid hoppy beer that isn't too bitter. Nothing to write home about, but it is certainly easy to drink. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
|
Otter Creek Spring Bock
Bock - 6.2% ABV Pete This beer just plain isn't very good. It is fairly bitter, and doesn't really have any other defining flavors. Ratings: Pete - 3 Shyoh's |
|
Otter Creek Stovepipe Porter
Porter - 4.4% ABV Pete I was fully ready to give this beer a 6 rating, then I saw the alcohol content. Where did it go? This is a full-bodied porter, why not hide some extra alcohol in there somewhere? At least it is delicious. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Otter Creek Winter Red Ale
Winter - 5.5% ABV Pete This is a very surprising winter beer, because if you took a blind taste test, you would think it's an IPA. Apparently it isn't but it sure tastes like one, which isn't a bad thing. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
