3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 Shrews629 (193) - Kentucky, USA - DEC 10, 2010
Hazy burnt orange/copper color with yellow highlights around the edges. Mostly white head that was not real full or very prominent. A bit of lacing, but not much. Several bubbles rising to the top, however they did not help with the head retention. Hints of caramel along with a prominent bready aroma. Nothing too complicated, which can be good. Solid in the nose. The bread and biscuit malt is nice and out front in the flavor. Detecting a touch of grain, which seems to stand out more than a typical Amber. The sweetness of the caramel malt is blended in nicely. Medium to light mouthfeel that is dry, crisp and smooth. Not a ton left on the palate, but enough for a good showing. This is a solid brew. Nothing too complicated or exotic. This is a working mans beer in my opinion. Would be an excellent Fall session beer. Could easily set a few of these back without even thinking about it. Goes down easy and without fuss.
