Gritty McDuffs Lions Pride Brown Ale (Best Brown Ale)

Brewed by Gritty McDuffs
Style: Brown Ale
Portland, Maine USA

(Bottle). Sweet malty and caramel aroma. Medium brown color, with a small head that lasts a while. Flavor attempts to be malty and caramel/toffee, but succeeds only imperfectly. Something is out of balance. Slightly unpleasant finish.

Was vacationing in Maine and bumped into Gritty’s. Excellent straight from the tap, but not as good from the bottles.

Light tasting, light bodied brown from Maine’s very own Gritty’s. A brown ale for novice brownie drinkers. Nothing to write home about.

The aroma is papery with malt, chocolate, caramel, and a hint of hops. The appearance is light brown with a nice head. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is thin. The beer is very plain with nothing to it.

Palette: Le corps est moyen avec une texture huileuse. Faible effervescence en bouche. Légère amertume d’houblon en arrière goût. (Rating #1802)

Their is not enough in this beer for me tio make a recommendation, its too thin and the malty are subpar, a slight wang in the end.

Another Gritty’s with that distinct malty taste. For a brown this one is a bit light and the head is gone in a flash. A light carmel taste but a watery feeling keeps coming through on the palate. OK, but not great.

12 oz bottle. Clear golden brown (kinda light) with a thin off white head that disappears quicker that it appeared. Rather sweet, malty nose, milk caramel and light toffee with some sweet nuttiness. Flavor is more of the same, plus a seltzer like quality. Weak body. Finish like a mild nut soda. Whatever.
