this new england style double ipa was brewed with a heavy amount of golden promise malt , for a slight sweetness but clean malt flavor , along with some flaked oats and wheat for a big body .
it pours a bright but hazy yellow . but most importantly we hopped this beer at rate of just over 3 pounds per barrel , with simcoe and columbus in the whirlpool , then a heavy dose of both ella and mosaic for the dry hop . these hops give this beer that light bitterness , and a big tropical fruit , berry , and citrus flavor .
the aroma and flavor of a weissbier with yeast is decidedly fruity and phenolic . the phenolic characteristics are often described as clove - or nutmeg - like and can be smoky or even vanilla - like .
banana - like esters should be present at low to medium - high levels . these beers are made with at least 50 percent malted wheat , and hop rates are quite low . hop flavor and aroma are absent or present at very low levels . weissbier is well attenuated and very highly carbonated and a medium to full bodied beer . the color is very pale to pale amber . because yeast is present , the beer will have yeast flavor and a characteristically fuller mouthfeel and may be appropriately very cloudy . no diacetyl should be perceived .
this is a sour beer ! brewed with pilsner malt and a touch of wheat . then dry hopped generously with saaz hops for a citrus and floral flavor and aroma .
this dark , but drinkable stout is a great winter beer , brewed heavily with chocolate malt , dark caramel malt , and roasted barley . very malt forward with low hop flavor and bitterness , with roasted flavors of coffee , chocolate and caramel .
brewed with a variety of base malts and dark specialty malts for a deep dark brown color .
this beer is well balanced between the nutty , sweet , and toasty malts , and the hop bitterness and floral , earthy flavor .
pleasing hoppiness and smooth very drinkable . a touch of dark malts gives it itβs ruddy redness & a hint of dark chocolate .
golden or blonde ales are straw to golden blonde in color . they have a crisp , dry palate , light to medium body , and light malt sweetness .
low to medium hop aroma may be present but does not dominate . bitterness is low to medium . fruity esters may be perceived but do not predominate . diacetyl should not be perceived .

some shopping and had one of the worst meals of my life . the place was relatively
empty so at the very least i expected decent service . this wasn’t the case though . it took a while for someone to even come and take out order and we only saw our server once during the time we ate . i had ordered soup , which was brought to the table cold by another server . we got the blue claw fries , again cold and the cheese was nasty and almost inedible . i had a burger and again it arrived from another server and was cold . it was obviously an improperly
. the bun it was on was not fresh . we were pressed for time and i was hungry and i foolishly ate some of it anyway . i ended up paying for it all night , i got sick several times throughout
it’s a real shame that this place isn’t run better . it could really be a go to destinatio
n in atlantic city if they tried . it’s amazing how bad they screwed up the simplest bar food . never again !
d . instead of asking our party of 9 if the checks were together or separate , she decided on her own that they were all together . after advising h
er that they were separate she brought them back and threw it on the table for us all to figure out which check belong to who . most restaurant
s hand the check to each person . now to the food which was not that great , it was not the worst i have ever had but i ' m sure a 9 year old could have prepared it better .
usually , the second night of the boat show we stop in to eat . not too busy , seated immediatel
overall the service was poor and a favorite dish , the crispy calamari , was very chewy and had a odd fishy taste .

this new england style double ipa was brewed with a heavy amount of golden promise malt , for a slight sweetness but clean malt flavor , along with some flaked oats and wheat for a big body . it pours a bright but hazy yellow . but most importantly we hopped this beer at rate of just over 3 pounds per barrel , with simcoe and columbus in the whirlpool , then a heavy dose of both ella and mosaic for the dry hop . these hops give this beer that light bitterness , and a big tropical fruit , berry , and citrus flavor
pleasing hoppiness and smooth - very drinkable . a touch of dark malts gives it it ' s ruddy redness & a hint of dark chocolate
golden or blonde ales are straw to golden blonde in color . they have a crisp , dry palate , light to medium body , and light malt sweetness . low to medium hop aroma may be present but does not dominate . bitterness is low to medium . fruity esters may be perceived but do not predominate . diacetyl should not be perceived
this dark , but drinkable stout is a great winter beer , brewed heavily with chocolate malt , dark caramel malt , and roasted barley . very malt forward with low hop flavor and bitterness , with roasted flavors of coffee , chocolate and caramel
this unique copper colored ipa begins with grapefruit citrus notes with a full resinous mouth feel . it starts off smooth with a clean bitter finish . nice caramel malts combined with familiar hops such as cascade , amarillo , simcoe and centennial hops makes this particular ale enjoyable with any meal
this is a sour beer ! brewed with pilsner malt and a touch of wheat . then dry hopped generously with saaz hops for a citrus and floral flavor and aroma

everyone knows that the climate on mount washington is severe . people like comparisons , however , and many questions are asked . is it worse than the climate on other high mountains in eastern united states ? is it worse than the climate on the higher peaks of the pacific coast , or in alaska ? how does the climate of mount washington compare with that of the high mountains of europe , with the worst parts of the arctic , for example , svalbard , or spitzbergen , as we may again have to call it with germany now in control of norway ? adelie land , in the antarctic , is the
home of the blizzard .
is the climate on mount washington worse than it is there ? i am afraid that even local pride will not make it possible for us to say that mount washington has the worst climate in in the world ; but comparisons are of interest .

how do these climatic conditions compare with those on other mountains where observations have been made ? in the eastern united states there is no mountain as high as mount washington until we reach north carolina , where mount mitchell and some others reach a few hundred feet higher . the temperatures on mount mitchell are approximately 20 degrees higher and the winds there only about two thirds as strong . the snow and icing are correspondingly reduced . in eastern canada , on the gaspé peninsula , there are fairly high mountains , and on the northern coast of labrador the mountains rise to over 6 , 000 feet . we have no records and know of no reports of conditions on these mountains in winter . it is probable , however , that the gaspé mountains , level for level , have as wet and windy a climate as mount washington , but not so cold , owing to the gulf of st . lawrence ; and that the mountains in northern labrador are on the whole less windy , less wet , and probably not much colder than mount washington , being fairly near hudson strait , from which direction winds colder than those which would reach mount washington would have to come .
this type of support from local business is very significant for the observatory ,

ryan came to mount washington for the unique weather , and to explore and study the worst weather in the world . when he’s not watching the weather , he enjoys backpacking , ski boarding , aggressive inline skating , traveling , video games , and movies .
at the more norther stations the temperatures naturally are considerably lower , the winds stronger and the moisture features greater . the very worst we have record of is from mount nordenskiöld , spitzbergen , in north latitude 78° , during the international polar year 1932 - 1933 . this observatory was at a height of 3 , 480 feet above sea level . the maximum velocity of the wind was 132 m . p . h . for a whole hour . this would correspond to well over 150 m . p . h . for an extreme velocity . while this does not approach the mount washington record , it must be remembered that this mountain is only about half as high as mount washington , and that on the latter records have been kept for a longer period of years . heavy riming was frequent , the anemometers having to be cleared of ice on one third to two thirds of the days in winter , which corresponds pretty closely to the situation on mount washington . the temperatures averaged 13° f . for the year , from a low monthly mean of 3° f . below zero to a high of 31° f . above . the lowest temperature for the year was 27° below zero . here , even in this exposed arctic mountain , we find neither wind nor temperature as severe as on mount washington , nor the icing any worse .

it is probable that there are worse mountains than mount washington , but observations do not seem to have been made upon them . those of kamchatka , of the aleutian islands , and , especially , the great mountains of alaska , may at times have more severe conditions than mount washington , but i am inclined to doubt it , notwithstanding their high latitude and stormy locations , except for the mountains rising above 15 , 000 feet , where temperatures lower than on mount washington must occur and with winds well in excess of 100 m . p . h . the same must be true of the highest of the himalayas , above 20 , 000 feet ; though mountains at 9 , 000 and 11 , 000 feet in china have been found to experience surprisingly low wind velocities and moderate temperatures .
the following tables provide the
