Commercial Description:
Modeled after the style of beer produced in Baltimore just after Prohibition. The beer is pale in color, is made with 100% malt, and has a very mild Hersbrucker hop character. A great example of the kind of beer our grandfathers consumed.

Light copper/dark straw colored, with aroma of caramel malt and some hops. Tastes as it smells, with a fairly smooth finish. Finishing hops. Decent.

Could Old Baltimore style mean fourty years ago? Is this what Natty Boh tasted like in the sixties?

Smells fresh and malty - probably the best thing about it! Body was deep gold - this is an American Dark? Bready malts propelled upwards by an effervesent carbonation - very club soda-ish palate. Finish was light but sweet - very faint hops in this one.

Golden/light amber color,small white head that faded quickly leaving little behind.The aroma was malty sweet with a cereal like quality coming through as well as a faint hop presence,and maybe just a hint of lemon.Nice malty sweet taste with maybe a bit of caramel and some hops but there fairly faint at best.Not a bad brew at all,granted it could be better but over all it’s a very nice drinking brew with subtle flavors makeing it a brew for the summer time.Thanks to Slob for sending an AD brew my way.

Like Lordhedgehog, I’m surprised by the low ratings. I was fairly surprised by this beer! Deep amber color with a lasting white head. Sweet nose, with an earthly balance between hops and malt. Smooth taste, with a light malty flavor and a hint of hops. A very good try indeed! Had this pint at Hemmingway’s off US 50 in West Kent Narrows, MD.

This beer was given to me by a friend. Having tried it this makes me question the friendship some - but I believe that they had not tried it yet so there can be some presumption of innocence. It came in the usual 12 oz brown bottle one expects to find. It poured a light golden color with a small tan head that faded quickly. The appearance while not revolting did not inspire. The scent was full of your typical macro sourness and was relatively repugnant. The flavor was sour on the front and tangy on the back with a vaguely oily skunky aftertaste. In all were this tasted blind with such luminaries as the three amigos of BMC there would have been nothing to this to separate it from their company.

Small white head that fades quickly. Clear light gold color. Lightly sweet malt nose. Light body. Dry malt flavors and some apple notes also. Finish is dry, thin.

Lightly golden appearance with a fastly fading soda head. Not much to say about this one, I took one sip and made a face and poured it down the drain. Perhaps a bad bottle?
