Amber's Lunch Pail Ale

Aroma: 5 | Appearance: 4 | Mouthfeel: 5 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 5

The color of the beer matches the color of the bottle almost perfectly. Aroma is unpleasant when you stop and think about what your smelling, sweat, honey, bread, some hop all combine to form this non offensive but unpleasant aroma. Sweet bready taste with a mild bitter finish. There is a hop bit in the flavour but it seems fake I can’t explain how though. The more I drink the more an out of place medicine flavour appears. Once again this is one of those disappointing beers if you break it down and think about it, but you could easily slam, back a case and not be offended.

Poured out a nice clear amber with a light white cap that goes to a ring and leaves small ammounts of spotty lacing. The aroma is light but refreshing with a good blend of pungent citrus and mild malts that are weakly toasted, caramel, nutty (almond) and sweet. The taste is also mild but quite appealing. Toasted malts, slightly nutty, caramel. The hops are obvious but the flavour is not. it is well blended in to give a mix between orange, apricot and other citrus. Smooth mouth feel with lots of carbonation, finishes dry with a bready malt and short lived bitter aftertaste. I've just found myself a new beer for the rotation. Local folks, buy up and support local brewing. This is an easy drinking tasty brew.
