Hinterland Amber Ale

This brew had a nice, deep amber colour. It had a soft caramel undertone with a malted mouthfeel. Very light as far as abv goes, but a nice touch of hops in the finish.

On draught at the brewpub in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Pours a clear coppery amber brew with a creamy off-white head that has good retention and lacing. Aroma of caramel malt, some fruity character with scents of apple, pear and some flowery hops. Taste is lightly carbonated, medium bodied with a smooth caramel malt and mild bitter flavor. Finish is slightly bitter with a multi-grain malt aftertaste that quickly disappears.

On tap at the brewery. Faint hops on the nose of this amber beer. Very grainy taste with a clean finish.

On tap at Hinterland. Poured a brilliant medium caramel with a short, well-retained cap of sticky white head.. solid dose of rising carbonation too. Aroma picked up sweet, lightly-toasted caramel with some darker fruits at the core.. dusty with a bit of detergent on the back. Flavor was of moderately sweet caramel and darker fruits again.. light floral bitter accents worked well with a light hit of citrus at the finish. Well-balanced and light-medium bodied.. mild bitterness.

Give this beer a try if you get to GB. Only available on tap at the Hinterland Brewery. (right across the street from the Titletown Brewery, another fine micorbrew). Nice to look at, a fairly rich but not sweet taste. But I really liked the livliness on the palate. It is really a fine beer which I knew nothing about until I gave it a try today.
