Known as the “Jewel in the Queen City’s Crown,” the Thomas Hill Standpipe overlooks our fair city. Our Bangor Brown is the jewel in our line up of ales. Its contrasting chocolate-like malt profile and a hop character specifically denotes a true American Style Brown Ale and makes it a real crowd pleaser. Dark and malty with a full citrus hop flavor, this brew has a history as rich and colorful as the City of Bangor.

I tried this at the restaurant location near the Hollywood Hotel in downtown Bangor whilst there on vacation. The beer poured a clear dark amber with thin white head that left some lace. The scent had faint hints of sweet malt. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with subtle caramel malt and crisp finish. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall its a good beer.
