22 oz aluminum bottle-Clear mahogany pour w/no head. Skunked aroma of malt, bread dough & a wet dishrag....uh oh. Tastes like sour bread & watered down malt, maybe a little sugar water. Not sure if this beer is skunked or if it’s supposed to taste like this, although I can’t imagine this is the flavor they were shooting for @ the brewery. I hate to slam a new brewer, particularly one local to me, but this stuff is awful....drainpour!

Bottle split with everyone. Pours an amber body. Body is mellow with notes of light malts and grass hops.

A nice blend of a red ale and a blonde ale. Leaves a nice "hoppy" finish. Great local brew if you live on the Eastern Shore!

Tap @ brewery. Pours deep amber with medium, creamy off-white head; average retention and some lacing. Aroma is toasted malt, caramel, earthy hops, and faint dark fruit. Flavor is malt forward, average hops, and light esters; dry, slightly bitter finish. Medium body and carbonation with low warmth.

This poured a clear amber color with a beige head. Aroma was pretty bland malt, light caramel and light frut. Flavor was older grassy hops, light sweetness. Very bland.

Orange-red, off white cover. Aroma is caramel, toast, eh. Taste is sweet, crystal malt, caramel.

Sampled from a 22 oz can this beer poured a nut brown color with a huge foamy light brown head that lingered and left decent lacing. The aroma an enticing blend of sweet malts, sour caramel, nut and faint cocoa with a faint vegetal undertone. The flavor was bitter and tart with faint dark fruits, sour caramel and a mild vegetal presence. Medium finish. Medium body. Solid.

Decent sized offwhite head of fine bubbles. Dark copper brown in color. Dusty and smokey aroma with some roasted grains and light malts. Dry and a little astringent flavor. More roasted grains and a some soft biscuity malts that linger for a bit. Light bit of sourness that sticks around for a while. An ok brew but not one that I would seek out again.

Sampled at the NoVa Summer Beer Fest in Leesburg, VA on 6/25/11. Pours a clear reddish amber color with a thin creamy tan head. Decent head retention and lacing. Aroma of citrus hops, toffee and raisin. The taste is toffee, raisin, bitter hops and a slightly metallic note. Medium bodied.

22 oz. Aluminum bottle from State Line. Pours deep ruby with 2-finger off-white head; looks nice. Nose is corn flakey, brown sugary, earthy, with notes of red vinous fruit. Tastes of big corn flakey malt, some nuts, toffee, and vinous fruit. Low carbonation and not very complex. BVut a good start.

22oz can. Minimal off-white head atop lightly hazed dark amber body. Aroma is moderately sweet, caramel, some earthy/leafy, cherry, light nut. Taste is moderately sweet, caramel, earthy, light bread, tannic. Light-medium body, light stickiness, low carbonation.
