Peak Organic Amber Ale

This is an extremely flavorful amber ale. Has the sweetness of an Anderson Valley Amber but has a crisper, more interesting finish. A very solid example of the style.

I’m enjoying one of these right now, and the operative word is "enjoy." Amber Ale is one of those styles that folks lose track of in the pursuit of Imperial IPA and Bigger! Faster! Louder! MORE! in their beers. It’s gratifying that at least one brewery still keeps one in their stable. Lovely orange color with a generous light-tan head. Lacing follows the fluid level all the way to the bottom. Aroma is fruity, with sweet malt undertones to a solid spicy hops presence. Flavor is full, though not quite enough balance for me; the hopping is generous enough that it requires a more solidly malty backbone. Some more caramelly sweetness would firm it up nicely. Fruity as a farmer’s market in the front, then the bitterness cuts through. Finishes dry and crisp. All in all, I like this beer. Is it the best Amber Ale ever brewed? Probably not. But it is a solid example of the style, and I would recommend it if a friend asked, "Should I?"

Unbelivable only 2 people have had this. I bought this over a month ago on the Whole Foods discard (singles) shelf. Pours a nice hearty amber color with a huge golden white head. Smell is toasted bread, biscuits, honey and caramel. Taste is not watery in the least. Shows nutty flavor, caramel malts. Good beer, I enjoyed this one, which I can’t normally say for an amber.

350 ml bottle from Bevmo. Orange amber with a fizzy white head. Deep malty aroma, pleasant silky mouthfeel, malty taste with some citrus notes and a mild bitterness.

Amber with thin white head. Nice hoppy nose with caramel & honey in there too. Medium palate with a semi-dry citric hop finish. Better than expected though it was a little cardboard tasting.
