55th Street Amber Ale is a beautiful amber beer brewed with roasted barley with the fragrance of caramelized biscuits, with finely selected dried longan from the farms of Miaoli County. Longan shells and malt were saccharified together, with added dried longan during fermentation to minimize artificial sweetening. The amber ale’s aroma and longan is finely combined, with noses of caramelized nuts, light bitterness of hops, lingering dry sweet longan and smokiness. This is a lovable craft brew!

Bit transparant to dull white head over veiled red-amber beer. Smoked nose, Rauchmalz, estery, even phenolic. Brown bread. Soft smoked beer, smoked malts, shoepolish, bit sweetish, unsalted pistacchio, hazelnuts. Light to medium bodied, quite slick. Smoke was unexpected. But where I have to find the longan?? Not at all fruity. Txs to Joren for bringing!

330ml bottle from Beer, Shilin Night Market, Taipei. Poured a slightly hazy medium amber colour with a short-lived bubbly white head. The aroma is malt, light caramel. The flavour is moderate bitter, light sweet, with a crisp, light, toffee caramel, light floral, woody hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation.
