Tap at Princeton location. Deep amber beer. Sweet malty aroma with lots of caramel and crystal malt sweetness. A bit of lightly fruity hops, but fairly low bitterness. Like most ambers, it just comes across sort of boring and uninspired.
2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
On tap at the New Hope location:
The Lure:
Overtly Cascade-y hop fruitiness benefiting from vague caramel malt sweetness. This one has a singular purpose, and it is announced loud and clear.
The Festivities:
Leafy hop bitterness is nagging, somewhat like their ESB’s was today. Feeble-bodied, made for chugging, with plenty of hop flavors. Not the most boring amber ale, but a weird and hoppy one.
Transcendence:
It’s hard to hear you talking with all that noise.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Clear medium amber in color, this beer exhibits constant and remarkable lacing qualities. Leafy, weedy hops accompanied by biscuity malts fill a foamy, highly citric and grapefruity palate. A faint earthiness joins in, but the malts aren’t strong enough to support those all-out inelegant hops. Light bodied, bitter, dry and moderately high carbonation.
