Sunset Red Ale

Tap at brewery. A little light for my taste. I expect more punch in an amber ale. Pours a cloudy amber-orange with no head. Some light malt and hop on the nose. I also detected some kind of cleaning agent - Brewery: go easy on the cleaning agents. I shouldn’t be able to detect it so easily. Flavor so-so, although it did grow on me as I made my way through the pint. I even picked up some brown sugar notes, which certainly improved my overall impression. I guess the measure of a beer like this is: could I session it? And the answer is yes, I could. There are better amber ales out there, to be sure, but you could do much worse than this fella

Location: On tap at the Brew Pub Sept '08

Overall Impression: I was pretty impressed with this one, really nice flavor for its style.

(On tap) Clear, warm amber golden with an off-white head. Lightly nutty nose. Medium body, discreet malt profile and a very dry, hoppy finish. 170307

Draft at "Broadway Brewing Co.," JFK terminal 8. Rated 6/7/04, ratings retrieved from broken handheld. A nice little brew to find at the airport. Pours a thin head over an iced-tea colored body. Nice caramel malt combined with fresh hops in the nose. Balance is indeed at work here. A happy little session beer that ends with a big hop finish.
