Apr 25, 2007 Initially a lot of staying power foam and good aroma of malt and hops. The initial taste was good, then harsh carbonation wore me down. More..ingredients.

Apr 10, 2007 12 oz bottle. Good looking reddish copper color with a small white foamy head. Aroma was mostly malt but had a nice balanced sweetness on the flavor. Very drinkable bitter.

Apr 8, 2007 THOUGHTS: This was my first regular bitter. I’ve had had ESBs but no not knowingly a bitter. It was pretty much what I would have thought — rather Brittish. I’m more of a sipping beer kind of guy these days, and thd this isn’t one of those beers. This is one you can really knock back and it makes you want to have another. It would make a nice change of pace as a session beer from the ever-present pale ales and lagers. Nice as a change of pace but not something I’m crazy about, but I would definitely try another bitter.
TECHNICAL: Bottle. Surprised by the twist-off cap. Poured a clear, light to medium amber with an average, white head that mostly diminished and left good lacing. The aroma was moderate caramel malt and light floral hops and just a little lemon. The initial flavor was lightly sweet and moderately acidic. while the finish was moderately sweet and bitter, heavily acidic and sour with a short to average duration. The body was light and dry up front and watery in the back with lively carbonation and a metallic finish.

Mar 21, 2007 Solid American interpretation with distinctly British malt character. Floral aromatics and a mildy bitter finish make this pleasing all around session brew. nice toasty malt character.

Mar 11, 2007 Not amazing but not bad. A bit like some of the shipyard brews, but still good. Always glad to have a maine beer

Jan 27, 2007 A nice beer but nothing to rant and rave about. Brewed with ringwood malt which overpowers the beer. It gives it a unique flavor but reminds me very much of Shipyard Export Ale. A good session beer.
