Commercial Description:
Original Pub Style is a light copper-colored medium-bodied with a nice dry bite at the finish. A subtle combination of Cascade and Willamette hops give this ale a fine floral aroma and a slightly fruity aftertaste. The taste captures the freshness of a hand-crafted brew pub ale that goes right from the conditioning tank to your glass!

Pours amber into a shaker. White head quickly recedes leaving spot lacing to skim surface. Lemon aromas. Crisp and malty with a dry finish.

Bottle... Clear amber ale with an orange tint and a small, creamy, white head. Decent retention. Biscuity, sweaty nose. Light to medium-bodied with modest carbonation. Lightly acidic and mildly bitter, but mostly nondescript... inoffensive. Crisp, lightly tangy finish. The bottle may have been a bit off or oxidized. Easy to get, so I’ll revisit.

Bottle in Fryeburg, ME. A very subtle APA. I’m not opposed to subtle characteristics but this bordered on bland at times. Very good looking beer, but rather thin aroma and flavour.

Clear amber-copper color. Medium light bodied, well carbonated and soft. Hoppy, but not overly so. Some caramel, orange, nothing stands out though. Dry in the end.

A little dissapointed with the overall flavor but it’s not terrible, the words "pub style" excited me a bit much maybe?

<i>12 fl oz bottle via Lubiere, served at cellar temperature in a tulip glass.</i><br /><br /> <b>App.</b>: Clear amber with a small white head. <b>Aroma</b>: Quite nutty, slightly earthy, some caramel and toffee, light brown sugar, lightly fruity. <b>Palate</b>: Medium-ish body, fairly soft carbonation. <b>Flav.</b>: Like the nose, quite nutty, caramel and toffee, a bit earthy, a touch fruity, a bit of cardboard; dry with a hint of bitterness.<br /><br /> Pretty dull stuff.
