Ungstrup (14755), Frederiksberg, Denmark Jul 20, 2008 Draft. An amber beer with a thin brown head. The aroma is sweet malty with primary notes of caramel. The flavor is sweet amlty with notes of caramel, leading to a dry and slightly bitter finish. bitbucket (2026), Kirkland, Washington, USA Jul 5, 2008 On tap at Laurelwood Public House. Pours clear coppery amber with a lacy white head. Pine and toffee nose. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Sweet taste of citrus, caramel, bread. Softly bitter finish that slowly dries out. ChainGangGuy (2523), Kennesaw, Georgia, USA Jun 26, 2008 Appearance: Pours a clear, red-orange body with a wispy, white head.
Smell: Faint, dry caramel maltiness to the aroma with a woody hop character and a touch of pine.
Taste: Dry caramel flavor at first, though a subtle, sugary sweetness eventually emerges. Earthy woodiness, light pine. Medium hop bitterness. Dry, lightly bitter finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: Why, what we have here is an acceptable amber ale. CaptainCougar (5379), Rockville, Maryland, USA Jun 21, 2008 Pours a transparent orange bronze with a clingy, spotty-lacing white head. Aroma of lightly sweet toasty caramel malt and a fairly fresh citrusy hoppiness. Body starts about average for the style with a decent toasty sweetness and resiny hop balance before a crisp, bittersweet finish. Very drinkable and smooth. slugstout (18), Zig Zag, Oregon, USA Mar 29, 2008 Another quality beer from Laurelwood. Bottle from John’s Market poured a beautiful red color with a nice white head. Good lacing. A little hoppy for an amber. More like a I.R.A. Still, a well balanced beer. jah noth (1015), Rochester, New York, USA Mar 27, 2008 This is a damn near perfect red ale! perfct red in color with no haze or floats. Sweet, slight cherry aroma with some lightly toasted malt. Slight cherry and caramel flavor, balanced nicely by crisp, tart hops. Finishes with some residual sugar. This beer is great! bhensonb (4187), Woodland, California, USA Mar 23, 2008 Biscuit aroma backed by a small amount of floral hop. Amber color with a beige head. Near medium body with smooth carbonation. Flavor is light caramel with a balancing amount of bitter. Probably grapefruit hop. Pretty strong flavors. Like an ESB? Probably too much bitter for the style, but that’s a good thing. ABUSEDGOAT (1934), California, USA Jan 14, 2008 Lighter amber. Aroma is caramel with notes of dough, earth and citric hops. Medium to light body, a decent amber.
