It’s been a long time since I tried this one, but I remeber that I loved it. It’s not available outside Maine.

My staple when I visit the new Gritty McDuffs in Auburn Maine. It is wonderful on cask. Only problem is the morning afterwards..Akin to eating baked beans. Need I say more. Regardless. I love it.

I used to not like this beer much but I guess my tastes have changed. I recently had this from the cask at Gritty’s pub in Portland during the Old Port fest. Even from a plastic cup it was still darn good. I dig the way the flavor sticks in your mouth like a taffy sticks to your teeth.

This is a really nice bitter especially when you go to the brewery to get it. Found on cask, it is awesome! Definitly worth a nice trip to Maine!

Cask, RAF Chicago, 2004: sticky malt aroma, some mushy bananas and red apples, Poured murky and settled perfectly. . . nice British IPA qualities: funky and sour hops with sweet oranges. The grapefruit rind flavours are chewy and bitter with a nice saltiness. Why can't more U.S. Brewpubs makes good bitters? A great example of a classic session ale: great character & flavour.
