Anarchist Amber Ale is a medium bodied ale with balance. Two row ESB malts from Gambrinus Malting provides the backbone for this beer. The addition of crystal and honey malts give this beer its colour and slight caramel sweetness. Chinook hops and California Ale yeast contribute to the crisp, dry finish.

Hazy dark amber ale with a thick collapsing light moka head. Caramel malt in aroma with very light floral hops. Sweet malt taste, a bit too sweet and cloying, like unfermented wort, with strong diacetyl, and a lingering unpleasant faint hop juice. Medium bodied. Rather unbalanced and lacking something.

Quite hazy orange to light-amber brew; yellowish tinted medium head, rather stable. Sweetish cookie/cakes, even gingerbread nose with a lining of aromatic hops. Some mossy notes as well, and walnuts. Quite bitter initial taste, not really hoppy, part vegetal, part walnut peel, but nowhere metallic. The malt is too feeble in appearance to give more than an impresson of some caramel, that seems even scorched thanks to the bitter lining. The problem with a beer as this is in its inability to sustain extreme flavours. This is where British brewers with their casks could give some enlightening examples as to how things can be done. Dry, long bitterish aftertaste, not metallic. Laudable, but it falls flat somewhere - in the body. Another one thanks to Mike Poperinge.
