Taster at the brewpub. Hazy wheat ale in the glass. Mild nose with some spice from wheat malt, a note of coriander. Taste is nicely mild with noticeable hops adding to the wheat malt.

Nice beer-centric place in a touristy town. Friendly setting, helpful and knowledgeable staff. Beer was universally wonderful.
I finally managed some lobster in the form of a lobster grilled cheese, and my child had fish & chips. And here is where we had a problem: an hour later my kid got sick. Don't think it was their fault, more that authentic fish & chips are a LOT more greasy than we're used to. And I was kind of disappointed that the lobster grilled cheese was grilled with Velveeta. And they were recommending to other patrons the Nashville hot chicken. Well, if I'm in the area again, I WILL stop there again and go with what the servers recommend.

Taster at the brewpub. Gold color, slightly hazy. Nose hits just right with a light cranberry note. Just a light fruit taste with very little tartness.Just nice and flavorful, with light acidulated malt. Nice to start a flight with on anice afternoon.

2019 bottle. Cork pries out easily. Pours ruby and brown, with a thin ring of foam. Nice smell of sherry, dark stone fruit, and a bit of pipe tobacco. Taste starts off with a big tart cherry burst. Some red wine, honey sweetness, and sharp spice at the back of the throat. Plenty of sour all the way through.
