Jan. 24, 2008; 22 oz. bomber. Inoffensive brown ale with sweet aroma and quite hoppy profile. Certainly better than the 25-percentile rating found here.

Pours with three finger light brown head that fades slowly leaves some lace. Cloudy amber color. Light caramel nose. Light carbonation and light-medium-bodied. Flavor is a nutty caramel with hints of bitterness from the hops. $1.75 for a 12oz from Barb’s Beer Emporium Concord, NH. No Lion’s Pride on the label.

The bottle I had was called Gritty’s Best Brown Ale. This is a pretty dry and hoppy brown ale - good flavor.

(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.
