Half Pints Bulldog Amber Ale

Brewed by Half Pints Brewing Co.
Style: Amber Ale
Winnipeg, Canada

Bottle from Piscator34 (Thanks!) Light amber pumpkin pour with TONS of carbonation (Seriously, it took about 5 minutes to gradually get this beer into a pint glass because I was waiting for the foam to settle.) Flavor had a bign nutty malt backbone, peppery and not too sweet but had a finish like there was a little oxidation. Would love to try this on tap.

Draft at the Yellow Dog Tavern. Pours medium amber, with a 1-finger white head that quickly reduces to a ring. Soft malt nose, sweet, decent grainy notes, caramel. Palate is spicy, sweet but not overly so, soft and reasonably rich. Nice, not special, but I’ll consider a second pint.

2009-12-11. Dark amber body with a small off white head that fades. 3+ Flavour is interesting, moderate bitterness throughout, orange citrus si sweet, light touches of lemony bitterness. 6+ Modest aroma, sweet tangerines/oranges, muted malt. Smooth average plus palate is a touch under carbonated. Pleasant. Bottle at Volo, Toronto

bottle from the brewery. nose is an odd mix with the hops and a nutty spicy nose. color is as expected amber flavor is malt with a little medicinal bitterness, good but not my fav

341 ml bottle at Volo. Pours a fairly clear amber with small white cap. Fruit very prominent in the nose with spice and caramel. Very fruity, malty taste, with some spiciness and a lingering bitterness in the finish. Pleasant.

Bottle at Volo in late July. Fruity mango yet nutty aroma - interesting and very good.Dark amber pour. Taste is also pretty fruity with a nice balance of malt and a little bit of bitterness in the finish. A very pleasant amber.

Thanks to Tupalev. Appearance: cloudy red with large White head. Aroma: spicy alcohol with oak and leather. Flavour: spicy, orange, oak with yeast and vanilla and lots of carbonation. Not bad.

Poured out a good ammount of very light tan fizz that lives only as a skim and leaves nice looking spotty lacing on top of the standard hazy dark amber coloured brew. The aroma is nice but does come across on the weak side nearing the bottom half of my glass. The aroma is mainly of soft slightly sweet fruit and floral notes, some bready malts and background nuttiness. The taste comes across with the hops being grapefruity and lemon but the hop spice and piney flavour is more prominent especially after its been in the glass for awhile. The malts are a bit weak but decent enough. There is also a slight sour note. The mouthfeel is ok with good carbonation, sort of smooth, soft malt middle, medium bodied and has a nice malt finish with some bitterness.
