Gritty McDuffs Best Bitter

Brewed by Gritty McDuffs
Style: Bitter
Portland, Maine USA

I really like this bitter from Gritty’s. Pours a nice golden color with a little head. Tastes very straight forward but distinct enough to be interesting. I’ll always nab one up whenever i get the chance!

Bottle: poured orange with a small white head. Aroma slightly perfumy. Light hops. Flavor is pretty dull. Hops and water. Lively carbonation. Easily drinkable but comes up short in the flavor.

Bottle. Light orange with a fluffy white head. Smells faintly of autumn: apples, pumkins, old leaves, mold, and tastes like apple pie with cinnamon and nutmeg. A nice beer to go along with a Winter holiday meal, but aside from that it’s just average, even blah.

Portland… that Land of Session Beers! Pours a true copper body and a full whipped cream head. There was a nice blending of caramel malt and rustic yet with some pine like hops. Big caramel flavors, with some yeasty, fruity hints of plum and apple, followed by some spruce chips. The palate was buttery and lively. A nice session Bitter.

This is your basic ringwood bomb. Sour apple aroma. Deep golden hue slight head gone in minutes. Fruity, ringwood flavor is somewhat balanced by nice hop presence. Slightly earthy hops are noticable, and very tingly. No horible, for sure, but the Halloween ale is much nicer.

A hazy orange beer with a disappearing white head. Both the aroma is sweet with notes of caramel. Nothing wrong, jus nothing special.

Orange golden body, fine white head. Mild grassy and slightly hoppy aroma. Pilsner malt in the flavor with some grassy tones. Sweet. Drinkable but bland.

Bottled: Golden coloured. Clear. Light beige small head. A fruity and malty beer. I quite thin bodied. Ends on a light bitter note. Easy to drink, but a little too anonymous for my likings.
