Folks, bear in mind this brew is made in The U.S. and is NOT the same as what you get at the Brewpub on St. Croix. My brother is the brewmeister and has no input into the recipe and methods used by the bottled product. Plans are in the works for a new brewery to be built in St. Croix which will have bottling capability and perhaps export. Il kee
Yar, I saw this beer in me buddies cooler, and I had to pillage one for meself. Smells fine and looks delightful through its bottle. The ship on the lable would be sufficent to sail the seven seas. Taste like beer, which is all ye could want ina beer. Hopefully it helps me luck with the pirate ladies. YAR!
pours a clear dark amber... more tan than reddish. almost no head, just the tiniest bit of lacing. aroma is caramel and banana. tastes... light, sweet with hints of caramel, roasted coffee beans, taffy... finishes kind of dry.
