J.R. Brickman Amber

Brewed by Brick Brewing Company
Style: American Dark Lager
Waterloo, Canada

Pours a clear amber Smell is sweet, nice and grainy Taste is sweet hint of caramel. Very little after taste. Not bad.

At the brewery. Easiest drinking, most satisfying of the new Brickman series. Lace and mild amber colour. Malty aroma and taste. Medium mouthfeel. On the sweet side

light amber with beige head, the aroma is sweet malt with a lot of caramel. nice fruity flavor.

Light amber in colour. Creamy white head that disappeared quick. Typical sweet aroma of something of this standard. Light hop and lots of bread. Somewhat decent.

(473ml can) Purchased from the LCBO Rideau for $1.95. Pours a slightly carbonated amber body with a caramel nose. Mild hop body with a caramel malt base. Pretty plain but non offensive.

Bottle from Lubière: Poured a light amber color beer with a huge white head with average retention. Aroma is quite grainy with very limited hops presence. Taste is light with some sweet caramel and a good cereal/grain presence. Very little hops and finish a tad watery. Overall, this is a bit too boring and definitely prefers the Brickman pils as a session beer.

Bottle (341ml). Courtesy of MrManning. Dazzle me, Brick-boy - the rest of your output has been swill, so show me how craft beer’s supposed to be made. Deepish amber with an average foamed beige head. The aroma’s pretty much burnt caramel flavouring trying to pass itself off as "roasty", very sugary and a little unpleasant. The taste is incredibly artificial - again, like Kraft butterscotch mix overcooked, with fresh grain added - sweet, scorched and grainy. Mouthfeel’s fairly thick, but it’s flat and seems more like watered down extract syrup than beer, with the added bonus of a sour rice-y finish - no thanks, only nominally better than their non-premium brews. Man that aftertaste doesn’t want to go away!
