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"

Bottle: Dark brown pour with a smaller tan head. Nose is sweet, chocolatey, and roasted malt. Flavor is roasty into a bittersweet cocoa. Some coffee. Dry, lingering bittersweetness. Kind of had a porter feel to it, but still enjoyable. Thanks Jeremy.

12oz bottle. Deep amber brown color with a frothy head. Mellow doughy aroma. A crisp hoppy taste at first sip, which fades into a smooth, medium to light bodied malty sweet finish. A pretty pleasant session beer, but nothing special.

Bottle. Labeled as simply Clipper City MärzHon... (no Balto) but I couldnt find any more information on it so I’m posting here. Pour is a amber and the head has died to almost nothing while I tried tofigure out whether there was a difference between the two labels. Aromas are sweet bread dough, honey and a touch of pepper or clove spiciness. Flavor is kind of thin but the peppery edge is fairly pronounced up front, transitioning to sweet and doughy malts. This is fairly decent as a thin and refreshing Märzen.

Bottle. (10% ABV) A clear, copper body topped by an off-white head. Malty and fruity nose with lots of resiny hops and a good dash of beef-stock. The flavor is as expected malty, fruity and bitter, with some chocolate added. Quite heavy flavor actually with the alcohol well hidden. Full-bodied and sweet in the mouth, and some apples in the finish, along with the beef-stocky malt and resiny hops. And of course, bitterness. A really nice, heavy beer. (080620)

From cask at Northern Virginia Summer BrewFest. Beer pours an slightly darker amber color with a white head. The aroma is sweet, with a nice malt component. Pretty refreshing in my opinion.
