COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The fine folks at Old Bakery Beer were gracious enough to brew a house beer for us. The Observer (named after Elijah P. Lovejoy’s Alton-based abolitionist newspaper) is an American Amber Ale generously dry-hopped with Simcoe, Chinook, and Cascade hops.
Brewed for ElijahP’s. It’s lightly malty and nutty with a pungent bouquet of pine and citrus aroma. The Observer pairs really well with our Classic pub burger. Come on out, grab a pint, get a taste of Alton, and while supplies last, keep the OBB pint glass in which it’s served!

On tap at the brewpub - Pours nut brown with an off white head and murkiness to the body. The aroma is floral, has smooth funky hops with toasty nutty malt and mild orange citrus. It has a medium smooth body that is a bit crisp and has smooth carbonation. The flavor has spice, pine, toasty malt, some sweetness and is lightly nutty. The finish is quite hoppy. Nice.

Pint at Elijah Ps during Craft Beer Week and within an hour of its release. Darker amber brown and fairly hazy. I taste thistley honey suckle first. Nice fruit that is citrus with tropical. Very fresh! Plenty of softer malts that are toasty. This is borderline pale ale. Hops are just a little bitter and bring more sharpness than bitterness. Very nice.
