Triumph Amber Ale

Brewed by Triumph Brewing Company
Style: Amber Ale
Princeton, New Jersey USA

Serve in English pint, Shaker

Pours a copper color with a good head and very good lace. The aroma is lightly floral and lightly roasty. The flavor has a defined biscuit maltiness but is well balanced with a mild fruity hoppiness. Tasty stuff.

Tap at the Philly location: Hazy amber with a light tan head. Citrusy spicy cascade notes mesh with a softly rounded caramel malt presence. Nice creamy body- the hops seem subdued in the flavor- it’s dominated by a caramelized pale malt body with a mild resiny back. I’d like the hops to be a bit more assertive (more of them) but it’s still decent.

Sampler at the Philly brewery. Light grain and fruit notes in aroma with citrusy American hops. Clear light amber with fluffy white head. Light fruitiness in flavor with good balance of American hops. Dry but lightly fruity finish.

Tap in Philly. Pours orangey copper with a tan head. Nose is sweet. Taste is malty, rich and very drinkable.

Amber pour with off white head and lace. Light caramel malt aroma. Nice caramel malt flavor. A medium bodied beer that ended up being a tad thin but very drinkable.

UPDATED: MAY 29, 2009 Draft at Olde City location. Unclear amber with an off white head. The aroma has caramel, citrus fruits, and candy sweetness. The flavor is sweet malty, with honey and citric and floral hops. A solid amber ale.

On draft at Princeton location poured a great looking amber with little bit of tannish head slight hoppy aroma starts off sweet then some hops sadly watery though no bite in the aftertaste .... it was easy drinking but its ’meh’

Low bitterness, some malts, a bit on the thin side for me. I think I like the over hopped amber versions a little better lately. Sampled @ the Princeton location.
