COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Our Amber Ale is brewed as bold as brass with a shedload of hops. A riot of floral and citrus aromas underpinned with smooth bitterness. Yet moderate alcohol levels will keep you bright eyed and bushy tailed.

Hazy amber colour. Merky white head which does hold. Bitter tangerine with sour notes . First impressions are of a weak low hopped ! non distinctive amber ale but can work with Kettle chips.

caesar (5892) - Bunnik/Utrecht, NETHERLANDS - SEP 4, 2015
Bottle from Speciaal Bier Bodegraven, BB March 2016, large sample. Slight hazy amber color, big frothy head. Aroma of a bit grainy malt, biscuit, bit grassy, slight spicy, bit butterscotch. Bit bitter in taste, nasty dryness, caramel. Bit metallic aftertaste. Meh.

Bosskie (621) - NETHERLANDS - AUG 21, 2015
Red brown colour, opaque with a weak head and lots of sediment. Smell is citric and spicy, resin, hint of caramel and mandarin sweetness. Very fresh. Taste is bitter watery with a nice fizz. Clear lightly astringent finish.

The watery palate of the beer makes everything weaker. It dilutes the potential flavors that could have been great. Now we only get a hint of what could have been. Bottle from Van Erp in Groningen

77ships (5919) - Antwerpen, BELGIUM - JUN 30, 2015
Sampled draft @ Tilburgs Bierfestival 2015. Reddish amber, creamy white head. Nose is oily weak pine resin, caramel & cereal,… Taste is oily sweetish caramel, candy with weak pine resin, too sweet candy & caramel like,… Oily, a bit watery. A def. honest attempt but not really there. (Thanks for sharing!)

rikstar (1567) - NETHERLANDS - JUN 21, 2015
0,33l fles via beer in a box voor vaderdag. Biertje kwam uitbundig de fles uit toen ik de kroon verwijderde... net op tijd boven de gootsteen... paste daarna wel in een proefglas jammer. Geur is iets muf met kaas tonen op de achtergrond wat bloemig, die shit load of hops haal ik er niet uit. smaak ligt in het bittere spectrum, beetje als sterke english breakfast thee, citrusschil, aan het einde een grasachtige hop. Het zou kunnen dat er ergens iets mis is gegaan qua oxidatie, ben benieuwd naar de tweede fles.

Neorej80 (415) - - MAY 21, 2015
Nice aroma of citrus and some iron/copper. Pretry cloudy from the yeast. Nice copperlike amber flavours, subtile but present citruslike hops. A bit dry. Really nice brew!

MonsterMagnet (694) - NETHERLANDS - APR 22, 2015
Bottle, pours hazy amber with a white head. Aroma: floral, caramel, citrus. Taste follows with notes of pine, strawberry, grapefruit. Light-medium sweet, medium bitter, oily texture, lively carbonaation, dry bitter finish. Not remarkable, but a nice hoppy amber ale.
