Commercial Description:
This is our flagship beer. The Atlantic is a medium bodied beer made in the uniquely American, steam styling of brewing. In “brew-guy speak” that means it’s brewed with lager yeasts at ale temperatures. Brewing a slightly sweeter, richer, caramel malt and two varieties of hops in this style makes for a truly unique flavor. Unique enough to make it an award winner at the 1993 Great American Beer Festival. You need this!

Pours a slightly ruby hued amber that carries a decent creme head that falls after a short while. Nose is subdued with minor leafy character to it. Flavor is nice and full with great earthy tones with an interesting level of funk to it. Gives a very nice consistent and even flavor profile. Smooth on the feel. Good level of massaging carbonation. Extremely drinkable. A very nice red ale. Another New England Brewing production that could easily turn people on to craft brew.

Great orange-amber color with a slight spiciness on the nose. Very nice creamy taste with very mild hoppiness and a well balanced body. Highly drinkable and gets better with each sip!!

can courtesy of jjpm74. deep amber pour with a huge cream head. slight hoppy/spicy scent. thicker than i was expecting with a huge malt flavor that needs to be balanced out by a little hops.

12 oz. can - thanks to jjpm74 for the bonus; hazy amber with huge white head out of the can; malty aromas are soapy and sweet; a little bland, but a simple malty beer full of sweet, nutty flavors; easy drinking and a great little session brew

Was expecting an Amber, but discovered it is a California Common. Kitchen smells on the nose: carrots boiling in water, apple sauce, even a little pine cleaner. The taste shows me plain grits/cream of wheat and vegetable broth. This beer feels closed up, as if it’s not living up to its potential. audio pairing: "Tom’s Diner" - Suzanne Vega (originall, non-dance mix)

Much thanks to jjpm74 for this can. Pours a reddish amber with very small head. Nose is isopropyl alcohol and bready malts...that’s all I get. Flavor is spiced malts, vegetables, toast and white grapes...interesting mix. Body is nice with good carbonation. Thanks John!
