Amber / Red Ale - Irish Regular

Score

6.24

ABV: 5.0%

IBU: 28

Ticks: 56

Using only traditional ingredients, Switchback Ale is a reddish-amber ale which is particularly well-balanced, allowing for complexity of flavor coupled with an unusually smooth and refreshing character. Five different malts, select hop varieties, and our own specially cultivated yeast create an ale which leads with hop flavors and a subtle impression of fruit (our yeast's contribution), followed by a palate pleasing malty finish. Our own special process uses the yeast to naturally carbonate the beer, and we leave it unfiltered. The result is a satisfying brew full of flavor with a remarkably clean and smooth finish.

On tap at Leunig’s Bistro & Cafe in Burlington, VT. Amber orange color with a creamy beige head and generous lacing. Toasted malt aroma has earthy notes. Flavor is toasted bread and caramel. Some spicy hops as well. Easy drinking. Decent.

12oz stubby from Halftime. Murky, dark amber pour, thin off-white foamy head. Light malty aroma, brown bread. Taste is pure malts, gentle, smooth like a UK pale. This is a simple, straightforward ale, light and tasty. If I was in the distro area for this, it would become my lawnmower beer. Surprised at the low scores here.
