Notes:
Once Maine’s legendary seasonal specialty, Hampshire is now available year round. Hampshire has a huge toasted malt flavor balanced by assertive hoppiness. The finish is long and lingering with the malt and hop notes blending with alcohol warmth. Original gravity - 1070; alcohol by volume - 7%; two row English malts (pale, crystal and chocolate); Cascade, Mt. Hood and East Kent Golding hops.

At last! I'm in Boston, at Anam Cara, attending my first BA event and JohnnyP himself, hand delivers 2 bottles of HSA. Sweet!
Geary's HSA pours a clear copper-amber in color with an off-white, fine head. Fine, gentle carbonation feeds a solid collar of foam.
The aroma is malty, with a buttery caramel hint to it. A hint of fruitiness too.
The taste is very malt driven. The buttery caramel from the aroma is present in the taste, but with a nice hop bitterness and a very slight metallic tinge.
Medium body, soft mouthfeel and gentle carbonation combine to make for a very drinkable & refreshing brew.
A little taste of Maine, right here in the Midwest. A big thanks to JohnnyP for the 2 bottles.

Poured from a bottle into a shaker pint, the beer is a ruby-highlighted caramel coloring with a thin, filmy, white head. Nose of apricot and mango fruit sweetness and a caramel backbone. Tangy aromas, overall. Flavors of roast initially, with a biscuit backbone, honey and fruit sweetness, and a spicy blend overlay. Light bodied, with a roasty and tangy sweet aftertaste. CLean, slightly sharp finish. Surprisingly easy to drink despite a slightly elevated ABV and heavy flavor profile.
