Erie Brewing Railbender Ale

Pour was a dark brown with no head and not much going on. Aroma was weak..could pick up malt and alcohol. Taste was a mix of malt and caramel. Low carbonation and an aftertaste of toffee. Thick mouthfeel that dissapates quickly. Below average.

100 rater. This is an amazing feat, I do not know how a brewery can make an old ale look, smell, and taste like a bad bock. Pours light amber, almost full clarity, small head. Aroma is cheap warm country macro lagered corn-fruitiness. You know if nuts could go rotten they would smell like this. Taste is not as bad, fortunately. Taste is again full of lagered fruitiness and a not so bad nuttiness. Taste like paper as well. On the heavy side of a light body, a slightly over-carbonated feel. A rather weak and passable brew.

Courtesy of cheapdark. Pours copper with a sparse white head. Smells of sweet malt. Tastes of citrus, pepper, and very sweet. Pretty one dimensional.

Had this @ The Old Bag of Nails pub while watching the Bucks dismantle Georgetown on their way to the NCAA men’s basketball finals. Nose of mostly cereal, with a light hops spice. Pours a hazy golden. The tall frothy off-white head is mostly lasting, and leaves no lace. The toasty flavor is kinda sweet and toasty. Well balanced with a moderate floral finish. Non offensive but loose. The body is light, dry and soft. The finish feels crisp.

Dark orange in color with medium head and nice lacing. Barely any aroma. Taste was a nice nutty and sweet flavor and a little malty. Very smooth and clean. Pretty tame but overall it was a great flavor.

Pours amber with a white head. Aroma is light with and almost undetectable except for some slight note of malt. Flavor is mild with caramel malt and some hop. Finish is light.

12 oz bottle, D’s 6-pack Pittsburgh. Pours a crystal clear orangish copper body under a fizzy and foamy beige head. Lots of visible carbonation. The nose is lightly malty with a slightly off soapy character. Some moderate butterscotch, and a touch of alcohol. The flavor is full of buttery diacetyl, a little butterscotch, and a little alcohol. Not a very pleasant beer. Mouthfeel is slick and a little sticky with moderate fizzy carbonation. Overall, this was a trouble ridden beer. Certainly a waste of money.

A lightly hazed amber ale with a thin creamy white head. A sweet caramel aroma with light vinous notes, and warming alcohol. In mouth, a good caramel malt base with some decent British hopping, not floral or citrusy, warming alcohol finish. Bought at Party Source Fall 2006.
