Description
Austin Street Brewery was founded in 2013 by Jake Austin and Will Fisher. The duo started out as friends and quickly realized their shared passion for craft beer and general imbibing. After several years of homebrewing on Austin Street in Westbrook, they decided to take the plunge. Self-financed and eager to begin, they purchased and assembled a one-barrel brewing system and got to work. Austin Street opened its doors on Industrial Way in Portland, Maine in early 2014. Since then, Will and Jake have maintained 100% ownership of their startup. Although this arrangement has its limitations, Jake and Will insist this is the only way for them to stay true to their creative roots while providing the best products possible to consumers and guests of their tasting rooms. Now utilizing 160 barrels of fermentation space between two production facilities, the pair is poised to maintain their position of integrity and quality in the very community that supports them.

16 ounce can from Total Wine A& More in South Bay. Hazy, yellow gold color. Firm, rocky white head leaves clinging lace. Wonderfully aromatic its notes of citrus and pine. Soft, creamy mouthfeel leads to a solid malty backbone. Notes of citrus include lemon, lime and grapefruit. Finishes with a soft touch of pine and black pepper. Deliciously smooth and wonderfully balanced. Outstanding!

Can pour from trade with AirForceHops--thanks, Chris! It's a hazy iced-tea brown with nice off-white head. Aroma is strong toffee, brown bread, hint of raisin, banana bread spices. Taste is toffee, raisin, later brown bread, banana bread spices. Mouthfeel is smooth, a bit frothy texture, average carbonation. Overall, good strength for ABV and decent complexity.

IP parking lot trade with AFHops, thanks. Foamy/dissipating offwhite/lt tan-dk amber. A-easy roast/slight smoky. T-easy roast med malt, soft earthy hops. Easy. Confused about the cause the brewery’s promoting with this beer.

Canned 4/27/23, drunk 6/8/23. Heavily hazy, brass-lemon-golden. White head to ring. Nose is tropical, heavy lemon lime and plentiful juice with supportive, lightly sweet malt. Clean, bit of pine. Soft, juicy, a bit of dull pine but well attenuated malts. Tropical, spicy, citric. Pretty classic, a bit more bitterness than average. Well done. About time AS makes a decent beer. Been a while.
