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"

355ml can. Clear, orange golden colour with small to average, firm, frothy, moderately lasting and lacing, white head. Floral, slightly piney, grassy and fruity, hoppy aroma, hints of pineapple, a touch of lemon, whiffs of liquorice, pale malty background with an almond touch. Taste is bitter, floral, slightly citrusy and piney hoppy, minimally biscuity, pale malty backbone with a touch of almond, hints of lemon, a touch of woody pineapple. Oily texture, smooth and soft, minimally greasy, simultaneously dry palate, fine, mildly prickly carbonation. Condensed but somehow neither overly intense nor manifold hop flavours - underwhelming.
