La Jolla Brewhouse Gonzo Amber Ale

Brewed by La Jolla Brewhouse
Style: Amber Ale
La Jolla, California USA

Draft at brewpub. Clear amber color with a bit of off-white head. Sweetish malty brew with a decent hop presence. Medium body and moderate carbonation. A serviceable brew to go with food.

(Draft: Beach House Brewery in La Jolla, CA) Malty and sugary sweet, with very little hops and only a mild bitterness, so this is very much a sweet malt dominated beer; The first few sips are pretty decent, but then the sugary flavor really starts to wear on the palate, which ends up being slightly sticky; The nose is very mild, perhaps malty, but too light to really register; Amber in color; Huge, frothy tan head lasts a long time and leaves large patches of lacing; Would be a pretty good, enjoyable beer if it wasn’t so sugary sweet
