Dec 30, 2005 Updated: May 20, 2008On cask at The Great Lost Bear in Portland, ME:
Floral hops scent the well-rounded caramel maltiness in this authentic and balanced Bitter. Nothing stands out really, but when the cask is in fine form, this can be a satisfying pint for a session.

CASK
4/21/2008: Sheepscot Boothbay Bitter had a hazy amber/burnt orange appearance. The frothy off-white head left thick lacing on the glass. The aroma is hoppy (leafy and somewhat grassy) which seemed to be Cascade hops. The flavor ha a light butter toffee bitterness followed by a soft and citrusy Cascade (?) hop bitterness. The body of the beer was medium and it was soft on the palate. This is a good beer from the cask!
Pint (draught) at The Great Lost Beer in Portland, Maine. Rating #13 for this beer...

Aug 17, 2005 (cask conditioned - Great Lost Bear) deep copper with nice off-white head. Faint hop and malt aromas. Nice hops flavor, well balanced with malt. Hints of fruit. Mouthfeel is low carbonation as expected from a cask ale. This beer alone made the trip to Maine worthwhile.
