Ale Asylum Ambergeddon

Brewed by Ale Asylum
Style: Amber Ale
Madison, Wisconsin USA

(Tap) Pours a light amber color with small white head. Quite hoppy for an Amber. Aroma includes pine and light caramel. Taste is dry, with an even mix of dough, citrusy hops, and caramel. Body and mouthfeel are quite good. A great brew overall.

Bottle. Hazy, sediment-laden amber body, thin off-white head. The aroma greets the nose with bright, grapefruity and grassy hops. Hoppy body, including notes of pine, citrus, and flower petals, backed by firm caramely, toasty malt. The caramelized sugars pair nicely with the fresh-tasting hops. A winner.

Amber color with a taller canvas colored head. For as big as the bubbles are the head is quite lasting. Better than average amber aromas, as this one has a hops presence. Mildly toasted malt seems to have a backstage to the full hops nose. Mild pine and citrus abound in this amber. As the bottle states a west coast amber, and I would have to agree. Very lightly toasted malt in the flavor as well along with plenty of citrus peels and light pine pitch. Very dry in the finish. The hops seem a bit green at times, but still a nice amber.

Picked up a few bottles in Madison area and bootlegged back to Minnesota to share with our rating group. Pours a ruby red with a thin off white faomy head. Aroma of sweet hops of caramel, grapefruit and spruce. Tastes of bitter spruce, grapefruit and caramel barley malt. Sweet after taste. A nice amble ale.

Amber color. Flavor has hops and an herbal quality. Flavor has lots of hops as well, this is really more of some sort of pale ale rather than an amber. Some sourness in the flavor.

Amber color with a thin head. A little orange for the aroma with strong hops. Wow... this is an Amber Ale how? A ton of hops in the flavor. It’s very raw, flowery, almost vegetable. Kinda like a fresh hop ale.

Honey gold color. Little head. Horrid nose on my second bootle. Body dissapoints, with some floral hops but mainly flat. After tasting again at JK’s gathering, I have comment on the nose, which is what’s I’d imagine Rosie O’Donnel would smell like after running a marathon. Truly foul.

Bottle. Pristine brass in color with a recessing white doily lace wrung. Sweet hop sincerity suckles with honey amaretto toffee, cherry spruce and a dried mango rind in the summer sun. Flavor parleys with amaretto toffee and a touch of rubbing alcohol for offshoot cleanliness. Mulberries get stuck on the brittle British toffee for a husky - floral - praline sweet combination treat. Spruce needles get dipped in diluted crème brulee with Disaronno for an alcohol flavored accent. Medium-bodied and clean, with a few piney and pinging carbonation characteristics that never seem able to quite work things out. Brittle toffee sealed in hot amaretto tootsie rolls wraps it up.
