Widowmaker Brewing

Braintree, MA

Widowmaker 50 Year Storm
Imperial New England IPA - 7.8% ABV
Pete
     Very solid NEIPA. Super creamy going down and a touch dry in the finish. Really nice.

Sour - 7% ABV

​     Collaboration with Second Wind. This definitely hits the PB&J idea. It smells bread-y, and tastes extremely peanutty. It could use more fruitiness, but there's plenty of sweetness. It was billed as a sour, which doesn't seem right. It's unique, and it's not bad, but I probably wouldn't get this again.

Widowmaker Beyond the Pines
New England IPA - 6% ABV
Pete
     Super creamy and a little piney with a citrus finish. Can't pinpoint any individual citrus flavors, as they seem to be melded together. That's a good thing though. Delicious.

Widowmaker Blue Comet
IPA - 7.1% ABV
Pete
     Great citrusy IPA, but the creaminess is a bit overwhelming. I'd still get it again, but a little less creaminess would put this over the top.

Widowmaker Ecstasy of Gold
American IPA - 7.2% ABV
Pete
     Goes down dangerously easy. Muted citrus flavors make this a beer you definitely want to have by itself, as it would easily be overwhelmed by food. Just order it when you get to a restaurant. It'll be gone before the food comes.

Widowmaker For Whom The Belle Tolls
Sour - 7% ABV
Pete
​     Collaboration with Belleflower. This basically juice. It's super fruity and tropical, something you might drink with breakfast in the Caribbean.

Widowmaker Honeymaker
Imperial New England IPA - 8% ABV
Pete
     Damn good beer. It's on the sweet side, but not too much, with tons of citrus.

Widowmaker Martin And Lewis
Milkshake IPA - 7.1% ABV
Pete
     Nice and fruity going down. You also get some vanilla, and that lingers for a while after you're done. It's not as obvious as most others of this style that it's intended to be like a milkshake (more like a mix of milkshake and NEIPA), but it's quite good, and the flavors are there.

Widowmaker Quarry Juice
Imperial New England IPA - 8% ABV
Pete
     A little creamy, pretty juicy, and even a little funky - in a good way. I don't know where the funk comes from (maybe the Apollo hops?), but I like it a lot.

Widowmaker Sour Hour w/Blueberry, Marshmallow, Vanilla, & Lactose
Sour - 5.8% ABV
Pete
     Smells like pancakes/french toast. I don't really get the blueberry. The vanilla is strong, and the marshmallow is definitely there. A little hint of sour in some sips. Honestly, this is pretty weird, and pretty bad.

Widowmaker Sour Trip
Sour IPA - 6.6% ABV
Pete
     Nice pop of sour as it hits your lips, but the flavor kind of disappears as it goes down.

Widowmaker There's No Wrong Way
Stout - 7% ABV
Pete
     Great name and can design - referencing Reese's for a peanut butter stout. The beer definitely reminds me of the flavors of Reese's, and it's pretty intensely sweet. I wouldn't want a whole one, but the taster that I had was perfect.

Widowmaker Toxic Twins
New England IPA - 7.3% ABV
Pete
     Not as hazy as most of this style, but it has the full amount of citrus flavor, and the lighter body makes it quite easy to drink. If you're looking for an easy drinker that'll get you somewhere, this is a great choice.

Widowmaker Triple Ecstasy
Imperial New England IPA - 10.2% ABV
Pete
     Some nice juicy flavor in this one, but it's way too sweet and boozy like most IPA's this strong.
