oh, i can't take him like that; it's against regulations

Tasty beverage recommendation: Smuttynose Maibock. Part of their Big Beer series. I've liked all of the brews from this series that I've tried. A bit spendier than sixpacks but a nice indulgence every once in a while. I don't know enough about bocks (or German beer styles in general) to comment in any depth of whether this is a good example of a maibock. But it tastes good so I recommend it.
Alas, I can't recommend Starr Hill's Lucy. And not because it's got a completely non-descriptive name. The beer (not that you'd be able to tell from the packaging) is actually an English-style ale and they're marketing it as a summer beer "spiced with ginger, lime, and coriander." The ginger is way too up front and the lime ends up lingering as an aftertaste. The coriander I'm not getting at all. The lesson here is not to get whimsical and take a flyer on an unknown beer. Ask the helpful staff at your local beer emporium. So now I've got 5 of these left and I don't even really want to finish the one that I've opened. If you're local and you think this sounds like something you'd be interested in trying, let me know and I'll be glad to give you one (or all) of them.
