Tap at Strange - this is an altbier, not an amber - and a pretty decent one, at that - it pulls off that all-important (and oh so difficult) alt combination of rich maltiness that is somehow also dry and crisp - the only thing this needs is a noble hop bite - sadly, they used american hops in this, and while they taste nice, they really don’t fit the style - props for pulling off the malt profile, though.
