COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Airdale Afterburner, is a beautifully balanced amber ale. Combining a rich, malty aroma and flavor with the subtle, lingering character of perle and amarillo hops, Afterburner delivers a winning combination of sweet and bitter. This beer is a rich ruby red color with a creamy head. Notes of caramel and toffee invade the palate while finishing with a smooth bitterness. At 5.3% alcohol, Afterburner is a supremely drinkable beer while maintaining a full-flavored approach. Amber Ales tend to be more approachable than their pale ale cousins.

Draft. Pours dark amber with small off-white head. Malty aroma: caramel, nuts. Oily mouth texture, little body, with a slightly dry finish. Nothing special.

On tap @ La Bella’s: The initial aroma was weak and hard to sniff out but there was evidence of malt and a faint background of nuts. The amber was a glowing dark red that was topped with a thin and brittle layer of head. Flavor was bland and simply composed of cheap caramelized malt and nutty taste similar to a brown ale.

1st rating of this brew, on tap @ Wit’s End Pub in Hill Crest. Pours a clear medium amber with a nice off white head that left decent lacing. Nose was nutty with some toasted malts and light hops. Flavor was mostly toasted malts with a slightly bitter finish.
