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.

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

Pours a transparent deep golden color with a thin, fizzy white head. Aroma of musty grainy malts and plenty of lager yeast character and subtle noble hops. Body starts with a pleasant mild sweetness and some husky malt notes with good hop bittering balance before a dry, crisp, drinkable finish. Very true to style and although it has little complexity, it would make for a good session beer.

bottle BB oct/08 by way of beachbum25... pours pale gold/yellowy-orange with a small quickly dissipating white head. smells a bit like kombucha tea and lemon... fruity, lightly spicy and herbal as well. it tastes like grains that have slightly soured along with hot tea, pale/light malt, honey and unidentifiable fruit with a somewhat dry finish. light body and prickly carbonation. weird...

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.
