COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
1609 isn’t a year. It’s a landmark in time. When explorers first set foot on the massive dune along the Atlantic, they set in motion a chain of events that would one day give us The Playground of the World. And to that, we drink. 1609 is a bold, deep amber ale with a full malt, slightly nutty character and strong citrus hop nose that celebrates the discovery of Coney Island. Malt: 2-Row Brewer’s Malt, Carapils, Melanoidin, Caramunich, Chocolate Malt Hops: Cascade, Amarillo, Tettnang, Northern Brewer

12 oz bottle. Pours amber with tall, long-lasting, fluffy white head and nice lacing. Aroma is of citrusy hops, caramel malt and ripe fruit. Body is medium and crisp. Herbal hops, caramel malt and ripe fruit fill the mouth. Finish is long and dry. Nothing special brew.

MarkSachon (791) - Pennsylvania, USA - OCT 3, 2015
12 oz bottle from the sampler case. A bit dry on the finish and a little heavy on the citrus. Not quite like the amber ales you’re used to.

mansquito (4356) - Nueva York, New York, USA - JUN 19, 2015
New beer distributors, nyc twelve ounce: pours amber with white head. Aroma is caramel with hints of hop. This is a bit better than your standard amber ale, but as expected, it is nothing special.

sinfull (1154) - Brooklyn, New York, USA - JUN 7, 2015
Deep and clear amber color ; big , beige head. Aroma of malt , bread, grass and herbs. Some strange notes in taste which I am not able to realize. Caramel Maltiness and bitterness go together. Not bad , but not extraordinary.

trapped (1532) - New York, TURKEY - MAR 19, 2015
Draught @ Albion. Clear dark amber with small creamy beige head, faint doughy aroma, medium carbonation, little caramel taste, abrupt finish. Nice and smooth, but also not very special.
