all the beer served here taste like it has some kind of infection. must be tatsted to fully understand how bad this beer is.

Draft at the brewpub, July 2006. The brewpub came into new ownership early 2006, so this is the same recipe but a different brewer from the five first ratings.

A hazy amber beer with a thin orange head. The aroma is sweet with primary notes of caramel, but also a light note of butterscotch. The flavor is sweet with notes of caramel, and butterscotch as well as light notes of wood, leading to a dry and slighlty bitter end. Listed at 5.4% ABV.

One of the worst beers I’ve ever had. Thought I was driking vinegar- don’t waste your money. The restaurant in Gettyburg, PA has a nice atmosphere with good food but just skip the brew and order a Diet Pepsi.

You know...the food here was really good. Unfortunately for Gettysbrew, I’m not rating their food tonight. Way more of a sour than a bitter.

wow,,this place is a tourist trap..tried the sampler,,all beers tasted the same,,except the barly wine(ill rate that next),,this was sour where it shouldnt have been...i swore every beer there was infected with the same thing..terrible.stay away

Had a nice amber appearance, but that’s the good news. Thin, cidery, sour aftertaste. The server mentioned the use of hop oils [or was that on the menu?]which may account for the weird finish. I know bad beer - because as a homebrewer, I’ve made plenty - and this reminded me of some of my bad extract batches.

I honestly couldn't tell this beer apart from at least two others from my sampler, no distingushable qualities at all, amber color, decent bubbly white head but it disappeared after a few minutes, once again flat flavors & body, very sour in the finish, undercarbonated
