Old Town Brewing Reviews

neepsntatties	3.4 Old Town Old Baby Can. Colour..pale gold with a thin head. Nose....dilute lemonade, biscuit dough and honeysuckle blossom. Palate....very clean refreshing ( likely best when really cold) with mild flavours of cut hay, fescue and pluot skin. The mid palate shows a rapid dissipation in flavour and the finish very quick. A solid hydrator for a hot day, I bet. Friday, March 15, 2024

Bitterbill	3.8 Old Town Pilsner From City Brew Tours, canned June 16th 2023. It pours a clear pale gold with a small but persistent head of foam, very nice lacing.

Sunday, July 30, 2023
Bitterbill	3.9 Old Town Shanghai'd IPA From City Brew Tours, canned May 19th 2023. It pours a not quite clear deep gold with a finger of foam, lacing is okay. It smells of grapefruit citrus, pine, cracker and some caramel malt. Almost balanced. The taste is pine, grapefruit, cracker malt, not so much caramel as it does have some sweetness to it, I can't say that it is caramel. Like the smell, the hops don't overpower the malt by THAT much and I'm pleased aboot that. Smooth mouthfeel, it is a joy to drink. Friday, July 28, 2023
lavaaaron	3.7 Old Town Spring Fakeout Draft pour, clear light gold. Was hoping to taste the sesame on this. Rice notes with mostly ginger coming through. Wednesday, April 19, 2023
coasternut	4.5 Old Town Pilsner This is what I imagined a great Pilsner should look and taste like. It pours a clear golden color with a medium head that stays for a while with lacing. The aroma is slightly sweet biscuits and straw with a fair amount of carbonation and a nice balance of hops. This is a great beer. I noticed on the label that it has won a couple of awards at the "World Beer Cup" and I am not surprised. Tuesday, February 7, 2023

coasternut	4 Old Town Paulie's Not Irish Red nice malt/caramel flavor with a slight hop taste, I think this would be better @ 20-25 IBUs, but it still is a very good Red Ale. A medium head that lingers. Aroma is also malt /caramel with sweetness. Sunday, June 28, 2020
coasternut	4.4 Old Town Shanghai'd IPA 22 oz bottle, wonderful hop aroma and taste, without being overly bitter. You can drink this size bottle because the ABV is low enough not to get you wasted.

Reid	4 Old Town Stormtown Chocolate IPA Beautiful old style label on the 16 oz. can from Lifesource in Salem OR. $3.79 collaboration with Stormbreaker Pours a strange colour like a regular dark orange IPA colour ..thats been mixed with some thing brown! Hmmm!. fantastic huge rocky head..cream coloured. Aroma is of a slightly citrus forward IPA..lemon zest, orange peel and kumquat. Taste is extraordinary for a IPA..The nice hopping i weirdly melded with mild chocolate..and for a minute your tongue and mind reject it, but after the second sip things start to go great.
