Fiddlers Green Amber

I bought this for the ratiing, and here it is. Actually, Its pretty good, especailly considering how bland their IPA is. Smooth caramel at first, and a surprisingly crisp, earthy woodsy hop finish. I wanted to write a flippant "Here’s another freakin’ amber ale" - type review, but I kinda liked this one.

Bottled. Poured medium orange with a nice cap of beige head. The aroma picked up artificially-sweetened caramel and lesser dark fruits with green floral and a bit of citrus hoppage around. The flavor picked up wet grains and caramel on the core with pine and citrus bitterness around.. sweet, tacky finish. Lighter-bodied and dry on the palate with just decent balance.. got caught up at the finish without leaving anything good there. Drinkable.

Columbia, SC - Total Wines - 12 oz bottle. Murky light copper pour with a frothy off-white head that leaves sticky lacing. Wort-like aroma with some sweet molasses. Caramel and toffee dominate the flavor with some underlying fruitiness - nectarines come to mind. Nutty back end. Decently thick mouthfeel. Pleasantly surprised.

Bottle. Amber pour with a small white head. Nose is hoppy, sort of spicy, with light caramel, and lots of grains. Taste is grainy with spicy hops, some earthiness, light caramel and a touch of lemon. Body is medium with moderate carbonation. Ends with more spicy hops, caramel, earth notes, soft nutty flavors and grains. Meh...

12 oz. Darkish copper with a medium head that lasts and laces fairly well. Aroma is spicy earth, sourish grain, citrus and molasses. Smooth flavors of grain, sweet toasted pecan, molasses, slight lemon, and earthy tea leaf. Light-medium body is sessionable, smooth and watery, with a drying finish.
