Copper and gold body with a thick fluffy white head. A dank, grassy hop nose. Hops lead the taste profile with elements of grass, resin, and to a lesser extent, ripe tropical fruit. Understated sweet malts with a hint of spice underpin the hops. The malt blossoms slightly after 4 or 5 seconds creating a solid end balance. Strong hops with a nice clean, balanced finish. Excellent beer.

A very dark brown body with a lively tan head. The nose is relatively understated with touches of malt, nuts and a hint of milk chocolate. This is a nice fall beer. The body is a solid medium texture and the taste is subtle and well blended. Malt, slightly roasted nuts and a hint of cream and chocolate work well together. The continental hops are understated and hard to find and there is some spiciness in the finish.

T’is the season for wet hopped harvest ales! A light honey gold body topped with a pillowy white head. The nose is very fresh featuring the scent of dank, newly picked cascade hop oil. It’s like smelling your fingers after a few hours of cascade cone picking. The taste has a solid hop profile for a seasonal pale ale. Cascade all the way with Grapefruit, citrus and some tropical fruit. There is a pepperiness on the tongue and some rindiness to the hops as the tasting goes on. A solid biscuit malt underpins the hop forward taste elements. Medium to light body and a nice dry finish.

Funny name for a lager. Was expecting a Blonde ale. Refreshing malt forward lager. A bit crisper than a major commercial lager, but very little going on here for a micro product. Not regretting drinking it though on a hot summer evening.

Fresh, punchy taste and nose permeate this IPA. The nose has an intriguing mixture of fresh hops, roasty caramel and malt and a hint of vanilla. The taste has a solid but non-astringent bitterness with some pine accents. The hops are underlayed by very tasty rich and sweet malt. Poppin’ balanced taste in this Amsterdam Breweries creation. A real treat.
