A special Imperial Amber Ale brewed in remembrance of a great grandmother. Late last month, Barbara Lanier gave up her ghost and the impact of her time here on Earth will not soon be forgotten by the many who loved her. A fiery Irish spirit who imparted deep values of dedication to family and love, “Ma” was certainly one of a kind. This beer mirrors her spirit with sharp, flavorful notes of resin, pine, and citrus, backed up by a rich caramel base and a medium body. A very special release and available for the first time on St. Patrick’s Day Weekend. Drink to honor “Ma” and reflect on those recently lost, but never to be forgotten. If not, you’ll get the paddle.

Can from tfontana, thanks again! Lightly hazy deep amber in color with a tightly bubbled beige head that persists. Bready toasty maltiness with bits of earthy citrus to counter.

Can (11/11/20) pour from the brewery. Appearance is deeply hazy reddish light amber with nice sparkle, finger-width beige head with good retention and nice soapy lacing. Aroma is strong bready malt with floral and a hint of herbal hops and light yeast like Muenster cheese. Taste is strong bready malt with spicy, piney hops (that almost gets to the level of a black IPA). Mouthfeel is medium bodied with smooth, thick texture, average-to-lively carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, strong, rich aroma and flavor. Quite good.

Pours reddish amber with a thin bubble white head. Aroma of rich earthy malt. Taste has rich hints of hop on the tongue, caramel malt. Palate has smokey malt on the nose with a residual herbal resin in the mouth. Great.

At a tasting, small stable bubbly head, murky light brown color, aroma of caramel, some dairy notes and skunkiness, flavor of caramel, onion and herbs, medium herbal bitterness, some sweetness. Drinkable but boring.

10/23/18, this one was hiding in the back of my fridge, another from my trade with André (thanks). Tastiest red ale I've had ever I think. Its malty but not annoyingly so. Quite hard to pull off a univerally enjoyable one in this day of juice and pastry.
