3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Fresh ara-malty aroma. Copper in color. Cara-malty flavor as well, with little noticeable ho character. Buttery-smooth finish.
Notes: Brewery visit during GABF
2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
On tap @ brewery. Pours a beautiful orange/gold with a perfect, minimalist head that lingers. But it smells and tastes earthy and metallic. Hoppy, but not smooth, without enough malt to balance.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Draft. Pours amber with an off white head. Malty, toffee like aroma. The flavor has some crystal malt/toffee-like sweetness, along with lighter floral and earthy hop notes. Decent.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
12 oz bottle courtesy of jbye4334. Pours deep amber/orange, kind of like the picture on the bottle. A vigorous pour netted a good 2 finger off white head. The aroma and flavor is light caramel malt with a slight whisper of grapefruit hop. Moderate palate with a slick texture.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
(Draught) Pours a clear amber body with a creamy off-white head. Aroma of earth, biscuit, and caramel. Flavor of caramel malt, biscuit, some orange, nuts, and earth with a moderately bitter finish.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Amber pour with an off-white head. Aroma is caramel malt. Taste is caramel, little creamy. OK lacing, a good average beer.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours amber with a mostly receding tan head. Notes of biscuit malt, caramel, jam, nuts and herbs. Medium bodied with bit of resin and lush carbonation.
2.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Clear copper pour with frothy beige head and nice lacing. Malty aromas balanced by hops. Metallic off-taste with some bitterness. Crisp and refreshing. Not at the top of my amber ale list.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Fresh, 12oz local bottle. Pours a clear amber colour with a small khaki head and nice lacing. Rather sweet aroma from citrus hops and caramel maltiness. Nice flavour that balances the malt and hops fairly well but maybe a little lighter than expected. Pleasant and easy drinking but I could see where this could dull quickly if not fresh.
2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
bottle, via trade with jbye4334, clear amber color with creamy white foam, aroma of malty fruit, flavors of caramel, melon rind, nickel, weak bitter finish
