Cricket Hill American Ale is an easy drinking “amber” ale with a wonderful balance of caramel sweetness and hop flavor. The aroma has a slight note of citrus and rock candy. There is not an imported ale on the market that tastes this fresh.

Nice shade of amber body with a light ruby tint and a soapy tan head atop the beer. Aroma of cardboard, pale malt, light german hops and a short caster sugar sweetness. Medium-bodied; Short hoppiness up front that fades real quick to another short malty flavour with little else hidden behind that taste. Aftertaste shows some caramel and toffee but really - nothing is left on the palate. Overall, this one is good for those who like good looking and a decent initial taste with no aftertaste at all. Perfect for a party or if you want to drink a lot of beer without tasting it much. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Chevy Chase Wine & Liquors in Washington, D.C. on 19-November-2005 on the Eastern Shore of Virginia.

This wasn't nearly as bad as the cheap-looking label led me to believe it would be. Pours a clear amber color with a very thin light beige head. Little to no lacing. Light aroma of hops. The flavor is very crisp and hoppy, with a tiny bit of malt as well. The finish is borderline harsh and lasting with its hoppy bite. Slightly above average overall.
