Blue Point Winter Ale

Brewed by Blue Point Brewing
Style: Amber Ale
Patchogue, New York USA

Enjoyable but not overly memorable. Kind of light in flavor and body for a winter. Good spice and hops, pretty good

This poured a dark red color with a white head. Aroma was pale and slightly roasted malt, and some lingering bittering hops as well. Flavor was a nice blance between malts and hops, nothing stands out but very smooth and possibly sessionable.

Deep, dark burgundy brew with a thin off-white head, crisp, strong flavor of malt, not so sweet, crisp, clean finish

12oz bottle 10/3/09 ($.99 Sam’s Wine & Spirits)-Pours a slightly hazy medium to dark amber with a small tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, caramel, toffee, and slight chocolate. Taste of the same with some more chocolate and more sweetness coming through on the back end. This light to medium bodied brew is not bad.

Bottle. Third of an inch cream head atop a dark ruby body with amber highlights. Aroma is licorice malt, grainy caramel, chocolate undertones, cherry-pear fruitiness, and hint of orange zest. Flavor is primarily grainy caramel, cherryish, a carbonated orange zest bite, with a slightly vinous finish. Palate is medium bodied, well carbonated, and warming. The grainy flavors are really detracting to this beer, which would otherwise be good if it were slightly stronger.

Bottle courtesy of j12601. Pours copper with a white head. Smells of caramel, earthy, fruity, yeasty. Tastes mildly bitter and sweet with some peppery splashes. There’s n underlying astringency to this that’s very off-putting.

Not impressed at all. Nothing to the flavor aroma. ehh. nice amber appearance though

Bottle. Pours a garnet body with a tan head. Sweet malty caramel body, a bit thin and watery at that. Some light hoppy spicy notes and earthy rye bitterness to finish.
