Style: Irish Ale
Stowe, Vermont USA

Serve in English pint

Sampled Summer 2003 - Very mild aroma with some sweet malt and a light fruitiness. Amber-copper colour with thin white head. Fair hop flavour and bitterness with little supporting malt body. Sampled at the brewpub.

Muddy light reddish brown. Hard to get any nose on this one; maybe some floral/earth hints if you push. More body than most of the brewer's handiwork, seems rather hoppy too; unfortunately body and some hops alone don't add up to a good beer. There just isn't any real flavor here, its very dry and bland despite the nice thickness. Clearly the only beer to have from this brewery is the only one most have tried, the Mountain Ale. The rest is basically garbage.
