2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
draft at Fette Sau, lighter amber pour, mild caramel malt driven aroma. Pretty plain jane amber flavor, light fruit, mild bitterness & sweet caramel maltiness. Not a bad beer but just pretty boring beer. Not bad with Fette Sau’s amazing food though

Bottle at Mystic Seaport. The aroma is caramel, pine and citrus hops. Clear amber, off-white head. The flavor is actually bitter, little caramel. The finish is bitter pine, some citrus. Decent.

3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Sampled at The Great Lost Bear - Poured an orangish amber in color with a small off-white head which settled to a very thin covering on the beer. Aroma mixes caramel/toffee malts and grassy hops. Flavor adds the complexity of some bready yeast to the hops and malt. Somewhat bland in flavor and a bit watery. Just OK...

At a tiny tasting in my home, bottle, pours orange color with a nice off-white head that dissipates quickly, sparkling, non-dominant and slightly hoppy aroma, slightly metallic taste, bitter aftertaste, light body, and overall an average and not terribly interesting amber ale
beer.

Newtown Brewfest.
Amber pour with a spice, giner and bread aroma. Some spice and caramel malt taste. Dry, thin. Eh.

A rather bland and boring beer. It doesn’t taste bad. It lacks depth and character.

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Not going to win any awards, but a clean amber ale that could easily be confused with an English bitter, easy to drink.
