Cool house ale at BIHT. Not a huge fan of the style but given the historical nature of the establishment, it’s definitely a solid beer. Anytime you can have an ale where American revolutionaries drank, enjoy it!
Dark copper in color with a bit of nutty taste/ enough hops to keep you entertained. Enjoy! After all, the British are coming!!!!

A most easy-going, no frill beer. Sweet, strong malt backbone. Nothing really special about it, but nothing bad either.

Clear copper Amber color with slight head that went away pretty quick. Smells like a typical ale. Taste slightly toasted bread with some sweet Carmel. Medium body with a little more carbonation than expected but pretty good. Overall it's an alright ale. Had to get it since I was at bell in hand and it's the only place you can gets this beer.
