3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle courtesy of daknole. Danke dak. Batch 9020, so about three months in the bottle. Pours a gently hazed brown amber with a medium to large white head. Soft caramel and malt on the nose, and a subtle hoppiness. Gentle malt and lightly sweet. Finishes with a subtle hop bitterness. Overall just a very subtle and light beer. Nothing bold, nothing big…just easy drinking tasty beer. Nicely done.

Batch 8897. Thanks bitbucket! Hazy darkish gold. Wildflower honey aroma. Complex malt profile, little fruity side in the finish, mild with the hops. Seems to get sweeter in caramel with each sip.

Rated under the Big Porch Ale 2008 Label, batch 8446, 1 year old from Party World on Alpine, Grand Rapids, MI. Cloudy, dark amber with small white head. Aroma is malt forward with some citrus hops and biscuit malt. Flavor is sweeter biscuit, some caramel, some earthiness and some citrus hops, with a drying bitterness. Medium body with active carbonation and some creaminess. Not bad, will have to rerate fresh Bells Amber.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
12oz bottle labeled Big Porch Ale 2008. Okay... so I know this isn’t going to be exactly... uh fresh ha. Pours a slightly hazed golden hued amber with a medium frothy light tan head. Aroma is quite malty with some faded citrus hops. Flavor is rich caramel with a little twang, probably from the munich, fairly grassy, some citrus hops mixed in oddly, a bit fruity. I don’t remember Kalamazoo Amber tasting like this. Medium bodied with big soda bubble carbonation.

Pours a hazy orange-amber with very thich froathy foam, unfortunately doesn’t last long. Aromas of sweet malts and hops alittle fruity. Sweet bready malts up front (yeast, fruit and caramel), bitter hop finish. Be sure to swirl the bottom inch or two when pouring to irritate the yeast or pour through strainer

Drank it a Ramenen’s Beer Festival. Very much a like to a pale ale. It was very hoppy, more than I expected, I would have expected more malts, sweetness and spiciness. Not too thrilled about it.
