De Molen's take on the 'classic' American style amber ale, bottle from Wijnegemse Drankenhal. Irregular, thick but large-bubbled, very coarse, off-white, cobweb-lacing head over a hazy, deep amber-hued copper coloured beer. Aroma of dried orange zest, toast, marmalade, frying red onions, dried mango cubes, strawberry, soaking wet cookies and biscuit, gingerbread, peach. Fruity onset, sweetish with a light sourish touch, some mango, apricot and vague cranberry, fried banana, softly carbonated - in fact a bit undercarbonated for this style. Slick, supple, slightly resiny mouthfeel, pleasantly butterscotch-, peanut- and eventually softly toasty malt bittersweetness, with more emphasis on sweetness than on bitterness - the latter being achieved primarily by a long, drying, rooty, grapefruit peel-like hop bitterness made needlessly earthy by lingering yeast. Undercarbonated and could do with a little less yeastiness and more cleanness, but from a mere flavour perspective, this ticks all the boxes to qualify as an accessible, pleasant, very sessionable 'American' amber ale, with the right balance between fruit and biscuity malt sweetness on the one hand and grapefruity hoppiness on the other hand. Seen within its intended style without further extravagance, this qualifies for me, enjoyed it.

Red brown colour with lasting head. Aroma and flavour have some grassy hops. Also a lot of toasted malts.

A bit bitter for the style in my opinion. Would prefer some malty caramel body to balance it. 2017 advent calendar
