Something seemed a little off with this beer. Sweetness was a off putting and there was a strange sourness. Tried with Jess at the brewery in spring 2014.

ClassyBeagle (374) - USA - OCT 30, 2013
FROM NOTES: July 1, ’12 On tap at the Eastern Shore Brewery in St. Michaels, MD, where the bartender was exceptionally nice and knowledgeable. A: Interesting nose to the beer, not a strong hop scent but still bitter and some faint sour notes. A: Pours a dark amber appearance into the plastic cup with a sizable white head. T: Light and malty taste with very little, if any hop notes. A mild bitterness enters late, but for the most part, the bready malts drive the bus here. P: Nothing special here; malty/biscuit with only the faintest hop profile. The semi-wild nose may be the most interesting aspect. O: Not heavy, so you could have three, four or ten. IF you like the taste. IF.

A great everyday amber ale. I some toasty carmal notes rolling around in there. I wish they still bottled so I could bring this back with me.

ben4321 (4897) - Hoboken, New Jersey, USA - MAY 17, 2012
Location: 22 oz bottle from Buy Rite, 5/17/12

Aroma: The nose is malts, caramel, and some (unintentional?) sourness
Appearance: It pours an unclear orange color with a small white head
Flavor: The taste is light sweet, light-mid sour, and light bitterness
Palate: The body is light-medium, with lively carbonation, and a pretty decent mouthfeel to it
Overall Impression: Look at that, rater # 9. This one is still in single digits. I guess they don’t have much distribution. I can’t decide if this was a decent sour or a completely unintentional one, but I am leaning strongly toward unintentional, so my rating is based on that...
Still, it kind of works as an unintentional sour...
