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!

I miss the micro breweries in the state of Maine. This beer came in a 24 ounce bottle. I am not sure if it’s available in 12 or not? It was a good beer and everything I expected and is similar to a Sam Adams Pale ale, but fresher.

A great pale ale, if you get a good batch. I have had problems with old/stale bottles and kegs, but when it is right, it’s great.

I realize that they use american hops in this but I honestly think this should be considered an english pale ale or an english bitter due to its fruity aromas and flavors. Some of the esters noticed in the aroma reminded me of English style yeasts. The palate is excellent. Very smooth and exceptionally drinkable especially on tap. Very under-rated.

The Portland Head Light is my favorite beer at Gritty McDuffs. Probably one of the best light beers i’ve had out of a Maine brewer also. Has a nice fresh clean dry taste with a blondeish color and a great aftertaste.

A very solid american Pale Ale. Nice nose, crisp initial taste which dissolves into a moderately hoppy finish, no surprises on the aftertaste.
