Snake River OB-1

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 5 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6

A pretty decent brown ale from Snake River. I like the SR brews, but so far I haven't found one that really "wow"ed me. I am looking forward to the Zonker Stout though, because I've read some really good reviews on it. Anyway back to the beer. Pours a clear reddish brown. Aroma is sort of weak. Some sweetness and toasted malt feeling in the mouth. Very casual flavours that don't stick out a whole lot but keep this session beer on an even flow.

Poured a medium brown color with average head and lacing. Aroma nutyy caramel and some hop to it. Flavor was ho hum typical for style but lacking depth. Ho hum

Dark chestnut color, ok head and lacing. Flavor was mild caramel, but dry, lots of nuts and some bitter earthy hops. Dreadfully dull. I can't imagine anyone drinking this other than to just try/review something new. Do people actually buy cases of this stuff?

Poured an amber color, carbonated foamy large head, ok lacing. The aroma was all amber ale, caramel, some nuts, ample resinous type hops. The flavor was light caramel, grass, resin, herbal/earthy hops, nuts, light fruity esters, very light roast notes in the aftertaste. Crisp clean finish, but it was really light and watery. Lots of flavors in common with an altbier (the German Brown ale), yet this was lacking any malt or even hop depth, although it was balanced. A watered down alt is the style I'd rank this in, certainly not a brown ale, perhaps an amber ale if you prefer that to include amber ales with Euro ingredients. Certainly not an offensive beer, not a bad lighter beer, yet it isn't a brown ale. Alas, Wyoming is checked off the states list!
