Another fantastic DDH NE IPA from first State brewing. Keep them coming guys… They are all winners. This one particularly is very juicy and pillowy.

This is an absolutely amazing NEIPA. Very well balanced and smooth, not overly bitter, light and flavorful. Very pleasant mellow after.

Crafted Ben is drinking a Random Symmetry by First State Brewing Company at Big Bastard and Company

This is an amazing West Coast IPA. Sweet when it hits the tongue, but piney and resinous with the after as should be expected from a real West Coast IPA.

Crafted Ben is drinking a Vulgar Display of Flower by Equilibrium Brewery at Big Bastard and Company

Bought it for the name… Wasn’t expecting all of the Floaties. I’m sure it was good when it was fresh but this beer is by no means fresh.

Crafted Ben is drinking a Cosmic Imbalance by First State Brewing Company at Big Bastard and Company

Definitely imbalanced. This was not my favorite beer from first state but I’ll keep trying. Honestly it seems like they went for an orange Creamsicle flavor, but in the end it reminds me of children’s chewable vitamins. Specifically the orange ones.

Crafted Ben is drinking a Swishy Pants by Dewey Beer Company at Big Bastard and Company

It is kind of dry but it’s still really good. It’s not too dry it still has some juice profile to it. Very tasty beverage. Would recommend.

Crafted Ben is drinking an Ethereal Reality by First State Brewing Company at Big Bastard and Company

Not quite a NEIPA but definitely has the characteristics of one except for one major issue… Tastes very much like a Pilsner rather than a New England. I guess it’s a good gateway drug to get people into the NEIPA scene
