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.

A nice malty lager. Easy to drink, with a nice hops bite. It has a nice dark color that is appetizing, as well as nice carbonation.

The best beer I have ever had. This is my high-class sipping beer. A strange, but appealing, sweet aftertaste.

Poured from the bottle. Small head that fizzed away quickly. Lots of bubbles. Looks more like ginger ale than beer. Taste is simple, not much of anything... maybe a hint of woodsiness, as others have said -- but nothing dominates this beer. It is pretty full for a lighter style lager, not watery at all. Very fresh and sharp. This is a good summer beer, it goes well with eating crabs or any other food in the Baltimore area.

I’m frankly surprised by the low ratings. The balance between hops and malt is excellent, with neither overpowering the other, and both easily discernable. No, it’s not a very flavorful beer. But it’s a great summer brew, light on the tongue, and easy to drink. Some hops, some malt, some buttery notes... Not a high-class $10 beer, but a great choice for having around the deck.

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.

Good color and maintains a good head while pouring. Not expensive in the Md area. Better choice over Bud any day.

This beer is a great alternative to mass market brews... and at a good price regionally. In the summer these go down quickly when ice cold. There’s a lot more flavor and depth here than you might expect for such a simple, relatively light beer.

I think this is an above average American Dark. I have tried this brew a few times and still enjoy is taste.
