Commercial Description:
A good, clean nutbrown ale with a malty body. This is our most popular ale due to its smooth and malty flavor. We use a mixture of pale, crystal and black malts in this one, and our primary hop is Target, though we also add some Whitbread Goldings Variation as well. The Real Ale is best fresh, so fresh in fact, that it's great right out of the bright tank.

Bottle at Andys’. Shared with Maibockaddict because he couldn’t finish it. Clear and tan in color with a little head that dissipates. Fruity aroma. Malty. Slightly tart flavor. Not right. Tasted off.

Bottle at Andy’s. I guess a new arrival to NJ, but I think it should be kicked out. Clear, brownish head that fades. No lacing. This has a wierd cherry kriek aroma. Malty slightly tart flavor. Bad sharp aftertaste. Yuk! Infected?

Bottle. Roasted nice rich malty aroma with chocolate and caramel notes. Slightly sweet. Nice. Transparent amber color with light tan head that’s pretty small and quickly dissipating. Mildly metallic in the middle with chocolate roasted notes. A bit thin. Not bad transition beer. A small step up from Newcastle.

bottle. pours a nice very classic looking brown with a slight head that did diminish quickly. Aroma of actually, a little yeast. Not very complex, but good. A solid ale. nice slightly roasty malt, a little sweeter, with a hint of yeast. Not particularily hoppy. good beer, i enjoyed it.

Pours a deep mahogany with virtually no head. Very still. Smell is spicy but quite light. Not great aromas. Taste is spicy and malty. I swear the first taste that comes to mind is spicy BBQ sauce. Nice body and fizzy with a light hop aftertaste. Medium bodies and tapers off at the end. I have always loved that this is Atlantic’s flagship beer. They didn’t make a pale ale or a light lager to sell to the tourists like many other Maine breweries. They made their signature beer a brown ale. Ballsy. Not the strongest brown ale I have tasted but complex and solid. Dark yet drinkable.

This brew is a cherry cola color with a medium light tan head. Thin lacing that sticks to the glass pretty well. The aroma is very nutty, along with some malt and caramel. Thin at times and fairly smooth with a bit of a smoked character. Nutty and sweet malt flavor is decent but short-lived. Mildly hoppy finish. A decent session beer.

Poured a medium brown color with a smaller sized off white head. Lighter aromas of nuts and caramel. Tastes of nuts and other malts. Lightly sweet with light hops. Aromas, tastes and body all on the thin side.
