Commercial Description:
A more robust version of our Pale Ale is given extra time to condition and mellow. The result is a fairly strong ale that still has the distinctive dry hop character and "snap" of our regular Pale. AKA, "Uncle Andy's IPA".

Cask at Great British Beer Festival ’07. This was beautiful. Dark amber with a small off white head. Beguiling and delectable sweet aroma. Taste of grainy malt and vanilla ice cream. Mid bitter. Utterly drinkable. Interesting that people reference this beer as ’very British’: in the opinion of this British drinker, it’s better than anything we’ve got over here.

I want to start off by saying how much I love Grittys! This was a good beer. Copper color. Grapefruit aroma. A little bit of caramel start with grassy notes and grapefruit finish. Order the fried haddock sandwich rolled in barley to go with this beer.

A nice brew. Light brown and pours with a nice thick head. Lots of hops and spices make this a very nice beer. Goes down smooth with a nice after taste. Recommended but hard to find outside of Maine.

(Cask at GBBF, London, 9 Aug 2007) Dark copper colour with brief head. Fruity nose with notes of dark fruit, hints of grapefruit and pine needles, malty foundation. Fruity, malty taste with dark and/or dried fruit, oranges, grapefruit, pine needles and a malty, slightly nutty background. Sweetish, solid mouthfeel. Complex but with great balance. Nice beer.
