Bitter is our vermouth inspired beer, developed with Mike Landers, cocktail guru from Martha. It’s an amber-ish farmhouse ale, with Trebbiano juice, aged on Barberra must and seasoned with a bevy of botanicals. It drinks like a perfect Manhattan, but far more drinkable, with an easy balance and zippy acidity.

It's amazing to me how many of my reviews just get lost after I've posted them to the site. Is it me? Am I doing it wrong? I shouldn't use my phone to do reviews anymore. Anyway, this is an interesting beer because it's intended to resemble Vermouth. I talked with the guys, I'm not sure who's who, and they told me that they worked with a distillery that makes Vermouth to help them come up with the herbs and botanicals and spices needed, that they were in fact reading about it and studying it, and that there are dozens of them in Vermouth, and they worked off of that. With that said, they got it right. It both smells and tastes of Vermouth, although there's clearly beer there instead of wine. It's a kind of gruit, and it works, it's nicely balanced, and I'm quite curious as to what it will taste like in a bottle that's been aged for a little bit. So what else? Amber in color, clear, medium in body with a gentle carbonation... very nicely balanced and rounded overall.
