Commercial Description:
Reportedly the widest and heaviest double-decked lift bridge in the world, the Portage Lake Lift Bridge connects the cities of Houghton and Hancock here in Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula. So get a lift from this American Brown Ale; a rich, dark brown color, complex malt flavor with hints of chocolate and caramel and a mild hop finish.

Buddy brought back from Camping trip in the UP. The best beer I have ever had out of a can. Big thick full head. Very nice dark color. Very smooth and crisp.

Courtesy of Skyview. Dark brown with a thin head. Light nutty aroma. A little bit of nut and chocolate flavor. Dry and chalky.

Picked up a single 12-oz can at Riley’s World of Wines in downtown Madison, Wisconsin. Pours a clear dark cola brown brew with a slow dissolving beige head that dissipates a spotty lacing to a thin beige ring. Aroma of roasted dark malt, touch of roasted nuts and dark pitted fruits. Taste is medium bodied, light carbonated with flavors of roasted caramel malt, some sour dark fruit, roasted nuts and iced tea. Finish has a very light sour and metallic caramel malt aftertaste. An average brown ale overall.

my sister in law brought me a 6 pack of cans which was surprising in itself. big brown head that quickly disappeared. the flavor was smooth not any real bite. but can taste the caramel and sweet, not sure about sugar but it was very pleasant, the warmer the better for me...glad i got to take the upper penninsula of beers.

(12oz can, thanks CaptainCougar) Small beige head atop clear brown body. Aroma is medium sweet, nut, caramel, sourness. Taste is medium sweet, nut, some caramel, light tea/earthy. Light-medium body.
