Reviewed from notes.
The appearance was a slight burnt amber color with a cap of a little white foamy head that fell off at a moderate pace. Light stringy lace.
The aroma had some smooth caramel/toffee malts up front with a touch of herbal hop character gently hitting some floral and faint citrusy hops. Some toast and nuts.
The flavor gently guided the malts to the hops - smooth yet semi-sweet with a touch of bitterness. Aftertaste was malty and the finish was fairly smooth.
The palate was between light and medium bodied with a pretty good sessionable quality about it. Carbonation felt fine. ABV felt as projected.
Overall, almost American amber ale to me with a bit more unexpected citrusy and floral hop bitterness, but hey, it was good and that’s all that mostly matters anyways.
