About
Since 1994, the Casco Bay Brewing Company has distinguished itself by brewing exceptional ales and lagers. This excellence has been recognized at both the World Beer Cup and the Great American Beer Festival, where our beers have won many Gold and Silver medals over the years.

Admin Note: Casco Bay was acquired by Shipyard in 2008 and they continued to brew Casco Bay beers at Shipyard but maintained the Casco Bay branding. Looks like as of at least 2015 the brand has ceased to be brewed at Shipyard.

Bottle. Orange, cherry and hay malt aroma. Golden yellow color with small head. Sweet corn/barley malt flavor with hint of hay to finish. First ale I’ve ever had that tastes like a cheap lager (that wasn’t a cream ale).

This beer pours amber-orange with a medium off-white head that recedes steadily. Stringy lacing on the glass. Aroma of bready malt and hops. Light body with flavors of sweet malt, caramel and mild hops. The finish is sweet with a malty aftertaste. Decent overall.

Bottle. Caramel malt and light hay aroma - very nice. Dark amber color with large off-white head. Slightly sweet caramel malt flavor with a hint of pepper and hay. Light body. Smells great but a bit of a let down in the flavor.

Bottle. Beer of the month club. Almost clear deep amber color with a medium beige head. Aroma of malt, butter (diacetyl), caramel, some nuts, fruity notes and some floral hops. Sweetish malty flavor with some butter, caramel, grainy hints, a bit of hops and a slightly bitter finish. Light to medium-bodied and a bit over carbonated. Would’ve been a decent beer without that annoying diacetyl. Still kinda drinkable, but not really enjoyable.

Pour is a dark brown with a large tan head. Aroma is sour with some malt. Flavor is about the same a strange sour with a little malt aftertaste. I’m sure this was infected but even if it wasn’t this was not going to be a good beer.

(Bottle, Monk’s Café Sveavägen, Stockholm) Amber colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, fruity nose with notes of orange, apricots and caramel. Malty, fruity taste with orange, apricots, grainy malt and a touch of floral hops. Medium body, fairly sweet with low bitterness. Decent malt profile, but lacking some hops to give it something extra. Drinkable though.
