440ml can from Paus Craft Beer Bar, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a hazy orange amber colour with a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is malt, light toffee caramel. The flavour is moderate sweet, light bitter, with a rich smooth, caramel malt, light yeasty biscuit dough, light floral hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation.

[50cl bottle picked up in Donegal Town.] A bright golden amber pour with a loose white head; earthy aroma with some apple and caramel; similar taste with earthy malts, cider apples and cinder toffee; and a nutty bitterness to finish. Excellent.

Draught @ Kaapse, Rotterdam Aroma has minerals, grainy malt and toffee. Flavour has minerals, grapefruity hops, some sweet malt and toffee. Too dry but not bad.

American style amber ale made by one of these new generation Irish craft brewers, thanks Johan for sharing the – beautifully styled – can. Egg-white, thick and foamy, plastery lacing head over a clear, ruddy-orange amber coloured beer. Aroma of rusk, dry teabags, fried tomato peel, peanuts, old biscuit, dried flowers, orange zest. Clean fruitiness in the mouth, touch of apple peel and orange perhaps, fizzy carb, smooth and soft bread crust-, rusk- and peanut-like maltiness, sweet with a bitterish toasty edge blending with a rooty, zesty, bit powdery, spicy ‘classically American’ hop bitterness in the end. Typical U.S. style amber along the lines of New Belgium’s Fat Tire and the like, rather unassuming perhaps in that respect as this style seems to have become rather obsolete these days, but well-balanced and technically flawless.

Can from Appellation Wines. Appearance - deep amber, toffee colour. Nice billowing suds. Nose - toffee, biscuits, honeycomb. Taste - ginger biscuits, ginger cake almost. Sweet with biscuity bitterness. Palate - medium bodied and crunchy and sweet through the middle. The finish is crunchy and dry. Overall - to me this falls into Bitter style, and as that, it's a great example.

Amber colour with thin head. Aroma and flavour have some candy sweetness. Sweet malts in the finish.
