Last night, Nikki’s had their weekly tasting. This week was Cisco Brewing from Nantucket. They had the whole lineup. I had been wanting to try one of their beers for a while now and finally got my chance. The beer I wanted to try only came in 750 ml bottles, and they were more expensive, which is why I never tried it before. Anyway, here’s the lineup:
- Sankaty Light Lager
- Whale’s Tale Pale Ale
- Bailey’s Blonde Ale
- Indie Pale Ale
- Celebration Libation
- Moor’s Porter
- Captain Swain’s Extra Stout
The Sankaty was good for a light beer. It had an apple scent, but a grapefruit taste. It was a bit too carbonated though (and that’s kind of the theme for the night). The Whale’s Tale was a decent pale ale. It wasn’t really anything special though. The Bailey’s was a good blonde ale with a nice light hoppy flavor. I was disappointed with the Indie Pale Ale. It wasn’t as hoppy as I would have hoped. The Celebration Libation is their winter beer. It smelled strongly of spices, but the flavors were milder. It was probably my favorite of the night. The porter was an excellent porter. I’ll probably be buying a bottle of this at some point. The stout was a little too watery and carbonated, but had a really nice flavor.
