Born in 1928, Simeon Jones left the family farm in the St. John River Valley as a young man and travelled to Saint John, finding employment in a brewery. He had a flare for business and soon owned the company. The ale he brewed was known throughout the Maritimes for its hearty, robust flavour and glowing amber colour. Eventually Jones was elected mayor of Saint John where he was long remembered as one of the finest men to ever hold that office. Always a gentleman, he was respected for his generosity, charity and kindness. Today Northampton Brewing Company produces this fine ale in the tradition of Simeon Jones, unsurpassed in quality and flavour.

"Not as good as the other beers brewed by this brewery, Simeon Jones is not terrible. Okay smell and appereance but a fairly weak attack for an Ale and as biegerman says, its a bit rough around the edges. Still drinkable however"

[2] Review by biegaman from Toronto, Canada who has tried this beer once. (7/12/2006 11:22:09 PM)
"This bottle, brought back for me from New Brunswick has big 'King's Landing, New Brunswick' printed under the name. Where exactly this is from, or where it is brewed I am no longer sure. This is the same beer though, that I know.
Poured a very light, hazy amber with a storm of ubbles that formed a good two fingers worth of head. Some lacing. Stale malty aroma, some dry amber malt maybe? Very unfavourable and offers little. A tad rough around the edges, carbonation high and flavour seems unblended and unfinished. Tad metallic in the afternote. I can find some tasty notes, but thin where found. Not much keep me interested. This 500ml bottle is more than enough to form an opinion, sadly, not enough to form a good one.
