2.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Clouded orangey amber hue, strong carbonation, good foam. Sweet malty, spicy aroma with vinegary cheesey notes. Overly carbonated on the palate and pretty thin. Starts out sweet with some fruitiness, finishes sour with a slight bite. Less carbonation and more body would make this decent.

A balanced and pleasent amber ale. I wonder if this is not the model for Fat Tire.

Sweet, syrupy and very carbonated. Good head. Reminds you more of a British ale than a Belgian.

This beer pours the color of motor oil and is slightly darker than honey. Nice looking beer but with very little head. Lacing tends to slowly move down the glass. The aroma is on the thin side but hints of raisens and yeast are evident. Not at all unpleasant. On the mouth it is thin and grabs the tongue very far back. The beer has an interesting combination of bitter and sour but it manages to balance the two. It finishes with more tartness.

Slightly above average Amber Ale. Thick lively head, orange/caramel color. Dry, somewhat bitter finish. I had trouble detecting much aroma in this.

Pours reddish brown with a tall foamy tan head. This is VERY carbonated. Nose has some sugary notes along with some light spices and a flowery hint. The taste is thinner than the aroma would suggest. Some very faint spice and sugar hints as it leans towards a floral taste. Almost tasteless finish. Average to below average Belgian ale.

Bonus from Piscator34. Copper with a nice frothy head and delicate lacing. Bit of a weird aroma. A bit of nutmeg or pepper, malt and something a little sour and sharp. Body comes of a little thin. Has to be drunk relatively warm. Intriguing combination of brown sugar and sourness hinted at in the aroma.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Very weak and mellow, pours a light amber, turning darker in the glass, slightly sweet upon first taste, with a yeasty doughy malt character retaining dominance throughout. Maybe something I would try again if there is nothing else available.
