Self-Defined Style:
Sesseion Ale Brewed with Spice Visitors to Smuttynose Island, peering across the dark waters of Gosport Harbor towards the ragged rocks of neighboring Star Island, are sometimes startled by the fleeting sight of mysterious, alluring creatures swept up from the Atlantic’s cold, inky depths. Or so they tell us.
Our Star Island Single is an eminently sessionable, abbey-style ale offering a beguiling mix of flavor and refreshment. This medium-bodied golden ale features a slight residual sweetness from Honey Malt and hints of citrus and tropical fruits from the unique Belgian yeast it is fermented with, leaving a crisp dry finish. Enjoy it sociably while you savor good times, tall tales, friendly company & life’s unexpected pleasures.

Smuttynose Star Island Single Tasting Notes
Tap. I find this beer a bit underrated. Pours a hazy yellow-gold, almost no head but lots of bubbling carbonation. Aroma holds yeast and Belgian character. Flavor is pleasant, with a rather yeasty profile, slight caramel, some fruit. A very bready finish. Good sweetness, some banana. Light-medium in body with lively carbonation. Overall I found it pretty good. Light enough to refresh, deep enough to satisfy.
