Description
The original Sea Dog Brewing Co. was founded by Pete Camplin, Sr. on May 17th, 1993 in the historic shipbuilding town of Camden, Maine, starting with a 240 seat brewpub and kegging brewery overlooking the dramatic waterfall of the old Knox Woolen Mill. On March 8th, 1995, Sea Dog opened a second facility, this time a 540 seat restaurant and brewery on the banks of the historic Penobscot River in downtown Bangor. In 2002, master brewer Alan Pugsley and entrepreneur Fred Forsley became the new owners of Sea Dog. Their crew continues the tradition of serving great food in a great atmosphere and brewing a full line of handcrafted ales that capture the spirit of Maine's sea-faring history. Today, Sea Dog Brewing Company operates brew pubs in three locations. The Sea Dog in Topsham occupies a scenic spot on the Androscoggin River. The Bangor location overlooks the historic Penobscot River. The South Portland location is near the Maine Mall. All three of these locations serve a full menu of handcrafted ales and creative pub fare with a flair. Being authentic is important to us. Our beers are brewed in a traditional style using only the highest quality ingredients like imported English two-row malted barley and British top-fermenting yeast. Our English brewing style results in brews with a distinctive, refreshing taste and crisp finish unique to top-fermented beers. Cheers!

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a vibrant golden color with a small foamy white head that left no lacing. The aroma was wheaty and medicinal. The flavor was tangy, medicinal, a bit malty and had touches of sugar and vague fruit. Medium length finish. Medium body. Meh.

Bottle from Epsom Circle Market. Aroma is interesting roasted hazelnut with hints of chocolate, a little bit like cigarette ash. Appearance is nice deep clear reddish brown with 1-2 finger width creamy beige head with good retention and moderate lacing. Taste is as aroma--rich hazelnuts with hints of chocolate and smokiness, well balanced bitter and sweet. Palate is medium bodied, moderately thick and creamy, with a tad too much carbonation that bites the front of the tongue. Pleasant moderately long smokey bitter finish. Overall, this scores pretty well on every front--a real diamond in the rough! Not the most complex, but tasty.

Bottle from Foods Plus, Plaistow, NH. Aroma is strong fruity-peach and grapefruit with notes of pepper. Appearance is clear golden yellow with lively carbonation and good sparkle. No head to speak of and no lacing. Taste is medium sweet lightly peach up front with slightly bitter grapefruit for last half. Palate is light bodied with thin, crisp texture and slightly above average carbonation. A good, highly drinkable beer that’s a little bit different and goes down easy, especially on hot summer days.
