Tin Whistle Coyote Ale

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

This beer pours honey brown, and had nothing for a cap except for some small bubbles around the rim of the glass, actually it look identical to clean motor oil. Very hard aroma to pick up, the smell is almost non existent, but would could picked up was of sweet malt and maybe some faint earth. The mouth feel was slightly oily and thin, but did have good carbonation. The taste was mildly bitter, and malty, I think there maybe some smoke in the background of this beer and some honey. The taste isn't watered down but it seems held back by something, not to much flavor in this brew. This to me is just a average beer, nothing standoutish at all but nothing bad either.

Excellent beer! I've had some inconsistancies with some of the Tin Whistle brews - but I blame that soley on not having access to the freshest beer. Beer cap deep white head with various sized bubbs came and went, but oddly enough the tiny ammount that was left over produced really impressive lacing that lasted the entire bottle. Smells of honey, apricots and mild flavourful malts made me drool - I'm hooked on malty brew lately. Nice dirty gold hue. Movement of the glass gives way to tons of tiny bubbs. Tangy and tasty! Yummy flavourful malts dominate this slightly sweet brew, but once it warms, the apricots come out and not in a sickeningly sweet way either while a mild bitterness hides in the background. The only advantage of the large bottle is that you get to drink this much and watch the flavours evolve - vacuum and seal the bottle between glasses or it'll get gross and flat.

This was a nice ale, pours with a good-sized head. Initial taste and after-taste both quite acceptable. Appearance is clear. I would drink this beer again. Sadly, the label is none too descriptive.
