Commercial Description:
Cricket Hill American Ale is an easy drinking “amber” ale with a wonderful balance of caramel sweetness and hop flavor. The aroma has a slight note of citrus and rock candy. There is not an imported ale on the market that tastes this fresh.

Nice copper pour. Very clean, bright aroma and flavor. Grainy, straw-y character. Not bad at all.

Bottle: Poured an amber color with a nice white head. The aroma was some malt and caramel. The flavor was some caramel, toffee, and sugar. Overall, a decent beer from an up and coming brewery.

Thanks to jcwattsrugger for this beer. An amber pour with white head and lace. Aroma of old shoes. Flavor is flat and a bit bitter. Carbonation and palate are the strongest point for this beer. A beer that may qualify as below average even with the 3.0.

Thanks to decaturstevo for sharing this one. Clear, light amber body with a thin white head. Musky earthy aroma, some malt comes through. No real malt sweetness nor hop bitterness in the flavor. Thin, watery, disappointing.

Nice shade of amber body with a light ruby tint and a soapy tan head atop the beer. Aroma of cardboard, pale malt, light german hops and a short caster sugar sweetness. Medium-bodied; Short hoppiness up front that fades real quick to another short malty flavour with little else hidden behind that taste. Aftertaste shows some caramel and toffee but really - nothing is left on the palate. Overall, this one is good for those who like good looking and a decent initial taste with no aftertaste at all. Perfect for a party or if you want to drink a lot of beer without tasting it much. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Chevy Chase Wine & Liquors in Washington, D.C. on 19-November-2005 on the Eastern Shore of Virginia.
