Poured into a becher pint glass, the appearance was a nice looking semi-dark red color with a finger’s worth of white foamy head that dissipated at a nice level pace. Sly messy lace.
The aroma had some roasted nuts, earthy tones and a light caramel backbone.
The flavor had the roasty and earthy tones in front of a light buttery caramel-ish maltiness. Buttery, but clean and not necessarily diacetyl, which is good. Is that intentional? I’m not sure. Lean sort of semi-sweet caramel malty to earthy aftertaste. Sly crisp wet sweet crackery caramel finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a decent sessionability about it. Moderate carbonation. ABV felt appropriate.
Overall, decent amber ale that I could have again. I didn’t mind that butteriness, I want to say it seemed intentional. Wouldn’t mind meeting the brewer to find out for sure.
