2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Variety Case from Brewers Outlet, Lancaster, PA...amber pour, white head...sweet malts in the smell, some fruitiness...bit of malt, some citrus and hops in the flavor...pretty light like the rest of the case.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Good hop aroma. Bread, floral and slight grass. Pours deep amber with a medium froth. Taste is disappointing. Sour lager yeast, slight floral and an ok noble hop aftertaste. Did not remind me of an esb.
3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
12 ounce bottle with no freshness date poured into a Samuel Smith pint glass.
A: Clear amber with a thin white head that quickly disappears. Slight carbonation activity.
S: Slight sweetness from the malt with some light fruit notes.
T: Very slight bitterness throughout with some light fruit and toasted malt notes. Very clean, but a bit bland at the same time.
M: Very clean throughout, medium bodied with sharp carbonation, very fresh tasting.
O: Despite the bland smell and lacking taste, I still really enjoy this. It’s a very drinkable beer with subtle flavors that leave me sipping for more.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Copper pour. Soft head. Aroma is a little more malty than I expected. Taste is a balance between malt and Hops. The caramel notes come through well.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours burnt orange with a white head. Aroma is caramel, florals and toast. Taste is sweet with a light bitter finish. Light mouthfeel makes this easy to drink. Overall this is good for sessions as it is not to complex but has enough going on to make it interesting.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Barley malt nose with honey accents. Clear amber, medium head. Drinks like it smells, but with more a honey presence.Dried leaves also prominent. I wasn’t sure I smelled honey, but the palate confirms it. Pretty nicely done and is exactly what one would expect from an American amber ESB. Better than an ordinary amber.
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Light copper body with a white head. Sweet aroma with some hops faintly in the background. Mild malty, sweet flavor. Mild dry, malt finish.
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Not a bad beer, just a typical Flying Fish product that lacks any biteto it. Drinkable, weak for an amber ale.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
You can definitely see similarities in these Flying Fish beers when sampled at one seating. This one isn’t too bad although I can’t say I thought it was too good either. Wet leaves, cardboard, light citrus, caramel, but honestly not much of an aroma. Murky brown color with a thin head that doesn’t stick around at all. The flavor shows a toasted caramel with some fruity hops. Light bitterness in the finish. It’s simple but drinkable enough.
