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. Pours cola brown with a beige head. Aroma is lightly roasted with caramel and chestnut notes. Medium body. Flavor is similar to the aroma, but very light. Not bad, but one of the weaker brown ales I’ve had recently.

Pours a clear ruby brown color. Almonds and molasses in the aroma. Fairly light with hints of molasses and chocolate at the finish. Simple yet well executed.

Chesnut brown, moderate heading, smells like peat moss, faint hops and light caramel malt. Taste is very mild, some supportive hop bitterness to a somewhat watery malt body. Smooth drinking, would be a good session beer by the pitcher. Nothing very distinctive about this one, but no real glaring flaws either.

Pours dark prune color with tan head, nose is nutty. Flavor is typical of a brown, but not as complex or interesting.

12oz bottle. A friend of mine lives in Bar Harbor and has always suggested me picking up some of the "real ale". Pour was very dark with a large head atop. Not much in the nose. Taste was tabacco, malts, and some nuts. Pretty unimpressive for a beer with a lot of potential

poured a cloudy brown with a huge head. No aroma to speak of. a little malt on the palate. basic brown ale flavors. This bottle may have been bad, but was in date by a month.

Tasted at the February Northern California Beer Tasting. This brown ale poured a brownish color from a 12oz bottle. Small to medium sized white foamy head. Aroma is fruity and sweet with a touch of smoke and some tobacco. Medium to light bodied brown ale. The malts are fruity and sweet. with more than a touch of oxidation. The hops are kind of floral. Note this was probably an old or bad bottle as it was kind of thin and somewhat oxidized. Will retry when possible. Mouthfeel was thin. Finish was clean. Aftertaste was slightly bitter.

Dark reddish copper color with a decent head. Nice smell it has maltiness and caramel. Smooth mouth feel with a malty sweet that was enjoyable.
