Harbor City Mile Rock Amber Ale

Harbor City Brewing Company
Brewed at Sand Creek Brewing Co. (Pioneer/Wisconsin Brewing Co.)
Style: Amber Ale
Port Washington, Wisconsin USA

Hazy light amber, abundant but loose beige head, decent lace. Aroma of pale malt with a bit of caramel. Bittersweet, malts have a bit of caramel, a bit of apple cider, no toffee or darker flavors. Some husky or crusty raw grain character, a bit oxidized on the finish. Bitter like orange peel. Carbonation plays a significant role in the flavor, though only a moderate one in the texture. Thin to medium body, somewhat spritzy.

12oz bottle courtesy of mother in law. Lack luster aroma of malt. Amber body with white head. Flavor was sweet but bitter was more overpowering. Did belch after beer was finished and a caramel aftertaste was present. So the malt was there but didn’t show uo in aroma and flavor. Odd

12 oz. bottle courtesy of Bockyhorsey - Pours a hazy amber color with a 1/2 finger thick light tan head. very light spotty lacing. Has a very light hop and carmel malt aroma. Flavor is hops, light esters, and a touch of malt. Light to medium body. A decent beer. Thanks Bill.

Big 20 beer tasting at Three Cellars Milwaukee. Good Hoppy ale. the carbonation is almost like champagne

Amber with thin white head. Aroma of light caramel, sweet malt and light fruit. Taste is more of the same wrapped up in a semi-thin body with a malty consistency. Finishes a little spicy.

12oz bottle. Poured a clear medium orange color. Head was bubbly and off white. A bit of lace was left behind. Smelled of subdued cherry with a whiff of malt (ala chocolate and molasses). Light bodied and slightly sweet on the tongue. There was also a dash of salt. I tasted white paper, Ritz crackers, leather, and some milk chocolate. Carbonation was on the higher end of the spectrum. They must have forgotten to add the "assertive hops" to the boil, as there wasn’t much in the way of hop aroma or flavor. Not a good beer.

This beer poured nicely in a typical amber colour with a modest sized white head. Aroma was of light biscuity malts and subtle hops. Flavor was decent, soft caramel but finishes a little weak nonetheless.

Pours a thin amber color with a small head.Lots of malt and sweet caramel on the nose. Flavor was malty and semi sweet with a metallic tinge to it.The finish was kind of uninteresting. Nothing special here.
