Original Pub Style is a light copper-colored medium-bodied with a nice dry bite at the finish. A subtle combination of Cascade and Willamette hops give this ale a fine floral aroma and a slightly fruity aftertaste. The taste captures the freshness of a hand-crafted brew pub ale that goes right from the conditioning tank to your glass!

Poured into a pint glass from the bottle. The beer is a golden amber. A small head formed and quickly receded leaving no lacing. Smell is of malt, quick biscuity. Taste is dominated by bready malt with some light hops, dry in the finish. Mouthfeel is medium with crisp carbonation. Pretty well balanced.

Great brew to start the evening. Fruit and caramel notes a bit too heavy

Yikes, some people think you can't make a bad hoppy beer, but this one is definitely up there. A hot mess of earthy, dank, musty malts and hops. Not recommended at all.

As with all the Gritty's offerings I've tasted to date: very average and forgettable. Doesn't offer anything interesting, or challenging, enough to revisit.
