Description
"It all started in 1980… Hugh Sisson, a Maryland native, theater grad school major, and all-around good guy, joins his family’s restaurant & bar, “Sisson’s” located on Cross Street in South Baltimore.
Craft beer wasn’t even on the radar back then. But, Hugh quickly recognized that to run a business, you need to do something to be different.
Light bulb moment: “What if we turned Sisson’s into a brewpub and brewed our own beer?”
Solid plan, right? Problem: Brewpubs weren’t legal in Maryland at the time.
In 1987, Hugh worked with Maryland legislators to draft a bill to legalize brewpubs in Baltimore City – the bill passed on first attempt. Fast forward to 1989, “Sisson’s” becomes the first brewpub in the state of Maryland.
After the brewpub scene for a few years, Hugh felt the need for a bigger stage (theater-pun intended.) In 1994, he left “Sisson’s” for his next business venture… and the rest, friends, is nothing short of Maryland craft beer history"

Hazy orange colour, moderate sized ecru-ish white head; aroma of pine resiny/pine needles, grapefruity, orange, biscuity and moderate tropical fruity notes; taste is dominated by hoppy-resiny bitterness with the same notes as can be felt in the aroma and some spicy aftertaste; great one

Pours deep gold with a one finger head. Smells of bready malt, caramel, cloves, and some alcohol. The flavor is very sweet with bready, caramel malt, a little fruity character, and cloves. That high abv is mostly buried by the malt. Pretty enjoyable.
