UPDATED: MAR 2, 2021 Ambrée aux arômes peu folichons, cette Nine Tales Amber Ale a au moins un minimum de présence en bouche pour un alcool de 5 %, sans trop de sucre, et avec un relativement bon équilibre malt/houblon. Le visuel est sur un ambré limpide avec une fine mousse beige nappant la surface. Le nez est plutôt insipide sur le caramel et le candy. L'attaque est sur une légère amertume (IBU de 20) donnant de la fraîcheur mais sur des arômes de caramel d'une platitude affolante. La deuxième bouche est un peu plus maltée...sans grande émotion. L'arrière bouche est semblable à l'attaque, permettant un minimum de contraste. La corpulence est honnête, cout comme la longueur, mais qui ne nous confère pas davantage d'émotion. Au moins la structure est là...
