This Hoppy Amber Ale is our tribute to the quintessential season of change. A bright hop aroma from late hop additions plays with its strong malt backbone. Amber hued, medium bodied, with hints of citrus and pine, this ale is made for the crisp days (and nights) of fall.

Bottle. Amber in color with a two and a half head. Taste and aroma are both well balanced. Taste is slightly sweet upfront with a tad of hoppiness in the finish.

Malty, hoppy taste with notes of caramel, fruit-cake, dried apricots, treacle-toffee, orange and a balanced citric/spicy bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Tasty and well balanced. Very nice.

It's pretty muted flavors. I'm pissed the picture didn't turn out; will reshoot without the beer.

Fairly clear deep brown coloured body with a ruby tint and a smooth, two centimetre tall tan head that stays afloat for a while. Aroma of pungent grain, toffee, caramelised sugars and a dose of peat towards the end, all with some mellow hoppiness that's noticeable, but not bitter. Medium-bodied; Strong grainy and earthy malt notes dominate with a lot of yeast and rustic bitterness up front that shows some softer sweetness from the caramelised sugars and a slight pit fruit and tobacco note at the end. Aftertaste shows some prunes and grape flavours, but not much of the sweetness -there is a faint bite from the malt and peat, but fairly easy-drinking once you get past the grainy and peat notes at the very beginning. Overall, good enough and about what I expected from this one with a nice toffee and carmel bite at first, but more of a grainy and malt bite than anything else.I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Wegman's in Leesburg, Virginia on 10-October-2020 for US$1,99 sampled at my house here in Washington on 27-October-2020.
