602.95/5.02.94/5.0-30.1English pint, Shaker P  Stats

Commercial Description:
Also chosen as one of the top 10 beers in America for 1999. Inspired by the Bass Harbor Lighthouse, this beer delivers lots of flavor for a light-bodied ale. Rich, roasted malt flavors are subtly accented with aromatic hops, producing a well-balanced English Mild Ale that is not bitter.
Terrific with Maine lobster & seafood.

Amber red with medium white head, no lacing. Werthers sweet aroma with very mild hops mixed in. Taste is smooth, not too much carbonation (on purpose or not?), mellow malty flavor, caramel, toasty, small bitterness at the finish. (thanks Paul K.)

22oz bottle, purchased at the brewery. Labeled "Brew 13". Pours hazy brown, capped with a moderate sized off white head. Aroma is on the sweet side with malt, grain, and caramel. Flavor is on the sweet side as well, with caramel, chocolate, nuts, and mild earthy hops. Very drinkable.

Bought this beer while in Bar Harbor on vacation. Pretty good beer. A nice hoppy ale with a reddish brown color.

Sample at the brewery. Honestly only the second mild ale I have tasted but this seemed to have more more (and better) flavour to my previous experience. Very easy drinking and probably an easy seesion fit.

(Bottle). Aroma is malty nuts and semi-sweet fruits. Reddish copper, light brown head. Flavor is characterized by nuts and some malt toastiness. Mild, a little watery, but overall pleasant.

A dark amber ale witha thin off white head. Sweetish caramel malt wiht light notes of sulfur, and mineral salts. In mouth, a lightly nutty malt and mineral water, light bodied. Gift from Inertiaboy, August 25 2008.
