COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
We invite you to experience our Amber Ale, a beer as beautiful to look at as it is to drink. Our recipe blends our own pale malt base with three specialty malts and the freshest "American" noble hobs. The resulting deep, rich color of Olde Towne Amber Ale means great flavor, leaning toward the malty side with just a hint of hops in the bouquet. Olde Towne Amber Ale is a feast for the eyes, nose and mouth. Tasting is understanding.

MesandSim (7108) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - AUG 19, 2010
A Mes rate. Bottle at home thanks to Amy via Chris.
Slightly hazy dark amber with a thin off white rim. Not the best looking beer I’ve seen. Slight diacetyl in the nose with a big dollop of very bready malt. Similar flavour. Some burnt plastic and dough. Lots of yeast. "As beautiful to look at as it is to drink". I’m not sure about that. It doesn’t look to good and the taste is quite possibly of a lower quality. "Tasting is understanding". True statement. I’ve tasted it, and I understand that I don’t think it’s very good. Sorry guys.
