Commercial Description:
Our Runabout Red Ale started as seasonal ale that we only brewed from March until July. But it was so popular with our regulars that we started brewing it year round in 2002. Our red ale is made with only two hop additions to the kettle as opposed to three in most of our other brews. This brings out the malt charater. It is a well balanced beer suitable for pairing with all types of foods including spicey sauces, BBQ, grilled meats and vineagerettes and most any seafood. We have started bottling this beer for limited release and distribution at our pubs and specialty beer stores. If you know a store that would like to carry our Runabout Red ale or any of our other craft brewed beers please let us know. We will make it happen.
Brewed with American 2-row, caramel 20L , 40L & 80L. Hopped with Willamette and Nugget

Bomber, Pours orange with a tan head. Nose is sweet and slightly malty. Taste is slightly malty and sweet, its certainly drinkable but it doesn’t compare in quality to the lake trout stout I had last night.

Draught@Brewpub. Eh... looks great in the pint but once it hits your tounge the whole show goes wobbly. Tastes of orange and sligth hop bitterness. I wonder what hops they use.

Smokey toasty in nose and taste, but a bit moldy in the taste--the least of my sebago choices.

My bomber also had foam spurt out of it when I popped the cap. Poured a translucent reddish copper with a creamy, lasting, slightly off white head. Smells alot like a bitter, faint citrus of hops and clean malt aroma. Flavor is all amber ale, sweet malt, caramel, nothing complicated. Finish is watery and clean, very little bitterness. Good session beer, simple but well crafted.
