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"

LCRBM2: Coffee and red berries in the aroma. Coffee and caramel in the flavor. Red berries. Sweetish beer, but a nice one.

12oz can. Poured a hazy, kind of like a melted fruity mixed drink. Aroma was a nice blast of tropical fruits. Flavor was fruit tartness. After my first sip I was surprised by the tartness. Fruity, floral notes.

12 oz bottle, pours clear copper. Full bodied with tangerine aroma. Taste has a lot going on with orange peel, grapefruit, and a follow on artificial sweetness that trails off as a bitter finish.

Sampled from a bottle this beer poured an orange-brown color with a medium sized foamy tan head that left minimal lacing. The aroma was malty with honey, caramel, and a faint vegetal note. The flavor was malty with toffee, bread, a vegetal note and faint astringency. Medium length finish. Moderately full bodied. Alcohol well controlled.
