3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Keg @ The Cock Tavern. The pour’s medium amber red with a creamy off-white head. The nose is bright tangerine and bruised peach. Caramelized orange peel. Notes of toast and grain. The taste is light sprucy, resinous hops. Mild melon fruit punch sweetness. This is supported by a wonderfully deft, toasted malt body. Nice, chewy malt flavors. Just a hint of caramel and brown bread. Medium body, smooth and very enjoyable. Overall, a cracker of an amber ale. Nicely balanced, inviting.
