3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
22 oz that Kristen brought back from State College. OK beer. Not too shabby. Could use a little more body but not bad.

22oz. Bottle: Aroma of hops, toasted malts, and resin. Poured ruby/deep amber/deep orange in color with a medium-sized, tan head that lasted throughout. Clear. Sparkling. Very good lacing. Flavor is light to medium sweet. Tastes of toasted malts, brown sugar, resinous hops, caramel, and some grains. Medium body. Thin, watery texture. Flat to soft carbonation. Malty, resinous, semi-dry finish.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
On draft at brewpub. Poured amber in color with a beige head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of caramel malts, nutty, light toffee and a little spice as well. Tastes of caramel, nuts, toffee, finishing up with some light hops. Pretty standard in the amber ale department. Nothing out of the ordinary.

3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draft @ Capones: Poured an amber color with not much head. The aroma was citrus roasted malt and hops. The flavor was somewhat hoppy, caramel, nuts, and some lemons. Overall, a decent brew. Definately worth drinking.

3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bomber bought at the brewpub. Pours a good creamy caramel coloured head on a beige body. Appropriate carbonation. C-type hop smell dominates, its Liberty and Northern. Easy drinking, its a good balance with a respectable hop presence and a bit of toasted malt.

Thx to brad. Bottle 1pt 6fl oz. Poured a clear reddish ale with a nice creamy head. Nice hoppy aroma with hints of pine, and some grapefruits. A malty flavour that I like very much, with hints of caramel, some fruits. Medium bodied and well balanced, nice carbonation.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
In short: Crisp and dry fruity red ale. Very good,
How: Tap at brewpub
The look: Clear redish-copper body with a very small beige head
In long: Some red fruits on the nose with strawberries being a dominant one. Taste was like an unsweetened breakfast jam. Lots of red fruits in the taste yet the beer didn’t feel juicy and was actually surprisingly dry. Nice session beer with a crisp freshness feel. I could drink pints and pints of that stuff. A way way way above average Amber Ale, although this style definition is about as loose as an always-drunk sorority girl.

From a 22oz Bottle. Courtesy of CharlesDarwin. Mostly transparent, deep red, caramel hued pour with a thin finger of creamy off-white. Beautiful color, but the carbonation level is a bit low, and thus the head suffers some. Graham cracker malt aromas along with some minty hops. Baked chocolate chip cookie dough malts. Clean. Medium bodied, lightly carbonated mouthfeel with a soft, smooth texture. Flavors of caramel, brown sugar, and graham cracker malts up front on the palate. Restrained grapefruit hop flavors come out toward the finish, but really serve to dry up the malts. Lightly fruit, lightly hoppy, plenty malty, but not too sticky. Slightly undercarbonated, but the flavors are good for an amber ale. Thanks, Tom!
