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.

Great beer....when you get it fresh! Some times you’ll get a skanky sixer but if you can find it on tap its realy good. Don’t be a little bitch and put a damn lime or orange in it either.

After reading these reviews, its hard to imagine you are drnking the same beer. This is a non-pasturized product and I too got a sour 6 pack last year. This is my favorite Olde Towne Beer...been drinking it since the brewery opened. The recipe moved around a bit at first, but settled in last spring. Nice clear amber/brown color, malty, a little hops, overall a very smooth, easy to drink beer, with little to no aftertaste. You guys need to try this one again...fresh...not after planes, trains and automobiles.

UPDATED: MAR 21, 2006 My first weekend here in Alabama I tried this and to be honest, I didn’t like it that much. I’ve since tried it again recently and found it to be a million times better. Muchly improved. Good maltiness. I agree with CMT, try this again.

not bad at all.. Huntsville is an up and coming city with an up and coming brewery.. they offer draft versio9ns of these at a local joint called Sazios.. a great watering hole.. especially after a hot summer day in North Alabama.

UPDATED: MAR 28, 2005 <P>Rerate 3/22/05: The esters are gone and now I see more of the malt. Slight sweetness, tad bit of roast and a bit of chocolate. Pretty drinkable beer now that the earlier QC issues seem to have been resolved.</P> <P>1/6/05: The copper body has the same slight haze from yeast sediment that the Pale Ale did, but lacks the sizeable head with decent lasting power of the Pale. The aroma is fairly malty with tea-like notes and toffee. It also has a similar bubblegum ester to the odd Pale Ale, but not to the same level. It’s an almost normal sidenote here. The body is a tad thin and unsatisfying, though.</P>

Bottled. An amber beer with an orangey head. The aroma has notes of malt and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and caramel, leading to a bitter finish.
