Hoppy Amber Ale
Imagine my excitement to see the hulking shoulders of Holy Mountain Brewing’s very own Kendo standing alongside Stefano. They got together for the next in our baseball beer series. So they paid homage to the dad beer of dad beers; amber ale. Clear, toasty, the color of this beer is more of a brown/amber hue. Stefano blames the absurd amount of brown malt they packed into this beer. They used Belgian Cascade hops, Maris Otter, Red Rye Crystal, Munich 10, Crystal 10, and brown malts to create the malty caramel, red cherry, and hint of walnut flavor profile.

On tap at Holy Mountain - Phinney Ridge, pours an opaque deep dark amber with a medium beige head. Aroma has plenty of resinous hops, bready malt, toasted caramel, and a hint of fermented out sugars. Flavour is a bit jumbled, with lots of bready malt, subdued hops, and a hint of toffee. The clarity doesn't seem to be great on this one, with the hops kind of muffled and the malts not dialed in all that well. Not a disaster by any means, but this one didn't turn out so great.
