COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Our flagship brew, "Ten Penny Ale" is available in more and more restaurants, pubs and package stores in Central Connecticut, and the momentum is growing! "Ten Penny" is a light Scottish style ale, brewed with a secret recipe developed by Brewmaster Ray Ballard. We can't give you the recipe, but we can tell you that the finest fresh barley malts have been combined with a hint of hops from the Pacific northwest to produce a unique and universally drinkable ale.

On tap on Pettibones Tavern. Served in ice cold glass, was hard to get much aroma until the end. Taste was subdued, a little sweet, very bready. The malt was nice with just a bit of hops on the end. Overall too boring, but serviceable.

puboflyons (1452) - Allenstown, New Hampshire, USA - SEP 19, 2007
On tap at the Eastern States Exposition in West Springfield, Massachusetts (a.k.a. the Big E). Pours a copper-amber color with an off white head that fades after a bit, but not entirely. A malty aroma is noticeable. Medium mouth feel. A tad bitter with some aftertaste, but nothing offensive. Overall a decent brew.

Lght fruity malt aroma. Clear orange color with a small white head. Lightly spicy in the begining with some bitterness. Bitterness dies off in the finish becoming a smooth spice flavor.

beerbill (3047) - Laurel, New York, USA - JUN 30, 2007
On tap at Busker’s Irish Pub, Newport, RI. Arrived at the table a clear copper dolor with a moderate off-white head. Pleasant but light aroma of malt. The flavor was again light malt along with a touch of caramel and finished off with some very light hops bitterness. Very quaffable and a great companion to my fish and chips!

Fresh at the brewery. It’s a bit thin, but the sweet malty character is rounded with some nice, earthy hops.

AlKHall (161) - West Hartford, Connecticut, USA - MAY 25, 2007
copper appearance with mild head....A smokey flavor nutty and yeasty. A little watery, but satiisfying....

En fût chez Willimantic Brewing Company. Robe cuivrée très claire surmontée d’une mousse blanche qui s’estompe. Arômes légers de malt. Saveurs de malt caramel et de malt torréfié.

Just an OK ale, more like Bass than a true Scotch Ale. Nice head. Last glass of a 64oz. growler was LOADED with yeast...

good beer. I had a glass out of a growler. It tasted more like a brown ale to me than a scotch. Decent.
