I've had this review sitting in my drafts for awhile, so I figure I'll post it tonight.
Scuttlebutt has some interesting aesthetic qualities. The name is different, as is the logo: a mermaid fixed over the letter S. It's a pretty cool bottle, I like it a lot.
I was surprised by what I found when I poured the beer. "Homeport Blonde" and the low alcohol content suggest a lighter beer than this to me. The beer has a dark golden color. When I smelled it I got some citrus and floral smells.
Like I expected based on the smell, it's stronger tasting than I expected for a beer that's only 4.6% alcohol by volume. Still, it doesn't have a ton of flavor and is a pretty small step up from macro beers.
If you're looking for a drinkable beer, this is it. Additionally, it's got a pretty cool bottle that will look good on the wall if it winds up making the cut. With that said there's not a ton of flavor, so I would give it a C.
Have you had Homeport Blonde? Do you agree with my take? Let us know in the comments.
