Tap: Poured a hazy amber color ale with a medium foamy head with OK retention and some lacing. Aroma of citrus based hops with some light caramelized malt. Taste is also dominated by citrus hoppy notes with light bitterness notes and some light caramelized malt notes. Body is about average with good carbonation. No major complexity with average hops profile but good drinkability factor.

Nice appearance. 1 finger fluffy head, amber hues. nose smells very much to the style, nice malt nose. Very weak taste, overall chewy, unpalatable very hard to finish more than a glass.

Pours a red/amber and has a one finger white foamy head, a decent amount of quickly sliding lacing, the smell has a malty sort of fruitiness with subdued hops in the background, the taste is semi-sweet with the hops coming through to balance, palate is light with a sweet malty finish, dry aftertaste, fairly sessionable; overall, this is good for the style and good for me.

On tap at The Reservoir - Waterbury, VT. A very respectable porter. Has all the stuff you want from the style - a bit of roast, touches of chocolate, modest bitter earth. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Pretty well balanced. Good effort, Switchback.

Sampled at the brewery. Pours a watery, mostly opaque black with some soft, brown head. Nose is nutty, malty, toast, chocolate. Flavor is the same, sweet, brown sugar, toasted bread, roasted nuts, dried chocolate powder. Medium bodied, dry finish. Very true to style. An easy drinker.

Sampled at the brewery. Pours a hazy orange with some fluffy white head. I smelled it and said, "oh, an English Pale." The woman working there corrected me and said, "We think it’s more of an amber." Nose of citrus rind, malt, crackers, yeast. Flavor was similar, lightly bitter, light lemon, malt, biscuit, yeast. Dry finish. Very run of the mill.

From the 11/2012 3R6P tasting. +++ Sampled from a 750 ml brown bottle this beer poured a hazy dark amber color with a medium sized foamy white head that faded quickly and left a bit of lacing. The aroma was semisweet biscuit, vague fruity and citric hops and a bit of bread. The flavor was bitter biscuit, bread, fruity hops and perfume. Medium length bitter fruity and perfumey hop finish. Medium body. As basic as basic can be.
