The Naughty Nurse has become quite the popular lady in the Nutmeg State. With her classy and sensual elegance, combined with just the right amount of...ahem...bite, she has made many a friend both inside and outside of our brewpub. Don't let that "come hither" look fool you, though - she is all business when it comes to performance. In fact, she is our best seller! If the Nurse needs a match, it can be a nice beefy burger, or almost anything else on a pub style menu. And with her moderate alcohol content, she can stand alone and make your next Session last a long, long time! This fine ale is brewed for a spicy, slightly bittersweet finish using traditional English malt, hops, yeast and manners. Available short or tall, of course!

On tap at Cinepolis in West Hartford, CT.
This one pours a light amber color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.
This smells like spicy hops, sweet malt, roast, caramel, and some light fruit esters.
This tastes a little bit sharp, but it does have a nice spicy hop character - more elevated than I figured it would be. There's some light malt character, but it is slightly metallic tasting, unfortunately.
This is light bodied, slightly creamy, with a lingering astringent bitterness on the back end.
I liked this more than I figured I would, but it's still a bit flawed with that metallic bitterness.

Pours a medium amber color with a decent head that fades fairly quickly. Aroma of caramel, malt, enticing. Taste is malty with strong caramel flavors, a little char, hops are subdued, avoids being overly sweet. This beer is all about balance, more of an English style and it accomplishes it nicely. Quite an enjoyable change from all of the hop bombs I usually drink.

Poured from the tap into a pint glass. The appearance is a dark clear Amber color with a small white head. The aroma is all malt. The taste is malt with a creamy texture.
