3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 MartinT (8661) - Montreal, Quebec, CANADA - JAN 14, 2013
UPDATED: APR 6, 2014 My Bottom Line:
Toasted, caramelized cereals greet floral, leafy hop resins in this lean and flavorful Amber Ale.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-A veil of foam tops the deep amber.
-The soft bubbling and slender mouthfeel increase drinkability.
-Malts are nicely developed throughout.
-If the flavor profile were a bit better defined, this would be a masterpiece of the Amber Ale category.
-The aromatic hops are redolent of German Nugget. Very similar to Dunhams Rye ESB, for example.
On tap at the brewpub.

Drank on tap (12 oz) at the brewpub on December 10, 2012. Copper amber, thin head. Malted barley aroma of fruity nuts. Dry malted barley taste, a little rough with hints of pine. Too simple!
