Description
OCB has been hitting, hopping and dosing brews with creativity since acid-washed jeans were hip — throwing a bit of kind into the kettle whenever possible. Look for our hop-soaked ales and delicious lagers around New England and the mid-Atlantic.
Acquired by Long Trail in 2010 with the brewing facility eventually sold to Whistle Pig. Currently operating as a brand owned and marketed by Harpoon.

12 oz. bottle, pours a clear dark amber with a small beige head. Nose brings out oxidation, brewery malt, a litre syrup, and caramel. Flavour is very malty, with caramel, light maple syrup, bready malt. Not getting the barrels. Simple beer, somewhat oxidized. It's alright.

12oz can from Wegmans. Hazy yellow, foamy head. Funky tropical aroma. Taste features more subdued tropical flavors , while adding a light tangy bitterness at the back. Almost juicy.

Tap at River road tavern. Electric pink in color without much of a head. Lemony tart and hints of bread with a big tart berry aroma and flavor. Not too bad.
