St. Stans Amber

Brewed by St. Stans Brewing Company
Style: Altbier
Modesto, California USA

Serve in Kölsch/Altbier

A pretty good Amber ale. Not too hoppy. Nice malty flavor. Good texture. Nice heady aroma.

Not bad, nice toffee flavor , a little on the watery side, easy drinking beer.

Really loses in palate points as it was really thin and light. Flavorful, however, with a front end of good malt, toffee, and an initial slightly yeasty burst. Then some good hoppy bitterness. Not enough of any one component, I guess, but I did like it.

Red-brown. Light bodied, salty with toffee aroma

Nowhere near as good as St. Stan’s Red Sky, but a tasty brew nonetheless.... Worth a try, tho it is a bit bitter. Low alcohol taste despite content. Bring a 6 to a party and you’ll look classy without breaking your bankroll.

Tasting Notes from Fall 2000: Not very flavorful. Just sits there

Now this is one of the best ’Alts’ I have enjoyed to date. Hoppier than I expected in the aroma Dept. SOme hints of smoke. toasted malt, some nuttiness and substantial bitterness. A crystal clear amber color. As Venom states, this is definitely more enjoyable at cellar temperature. Had in a beer club near a year ago and just found some old notes. How could I forget such a classic?

One of my first St. Stans beer. A good one for beginners. Good head, lots of flavor.
