Ale Asylum Ambergeddon

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

Pours copper with a thin white head. Smells of sweet malt and citrus. Tastes sweet, citrusy and spicy with a slightly bitter finish.

Ale Asylum Ambergeddon is a clear, amber (almost copper) ale with a thin, splotchy off-white head with a bunch of oily bubbles on it. It leaves nice lacing on the glass. There’s a lot of yeast in the bottom of the bottle. It has a huge, fresh hoppy aroma. It’s piny and resiny with a hint of tangerine. The malt smells biscuity and a hint sweet. It smells like an IPA. It’s medium bodied and incredibly smooth with a very clean finish. I taste a lot of hops (simcoe?). The caramelly malt flavor comes in at the finish. This is very good. It really seems like an IPA.

Picked up on a road trip to Wisconsin poured orange andslighty hazy with thin off white head the aromas were hops and malts taste is sweet and smooth off hops, and malts this one surprized me a lot a great session beer

I waited far too long to try this, due to an unfortunate bias against anything called an "amber ale". Really an extra buscuity pale with great balance and hop flavor.

12oz bottle from Woodman’s in Madison. Pours slightly hazy golden copper with off-white head. Aroma is hoppy with citrus and pine with a touch of caramel malt. Flavor is nicely balanace between caramel malt with citrus, pine, and hops. This more hoppy than some of the IPA’s I have had recently. This is a really good amber ale and I am surprised by the low ratings.

bottle. seems like this should have more alcohol with a name like ambergeddon. well, whatever. pours an uninspired, uniform straight red color. smells pretty damned good, actually, especially from afar, where fruit candy dominates. closer, it’s much hoppier and not unlike a 2 hearted. Flavor is a bit of a letdown, with not much hop character, pretty dry, and some metal. Just kinda mild/boring, nothing particularly bad about it. Overall, another good offering from ale asylum (2 for 2). And much better than i was expecting it to be.

12oz bottle courtesy of the maximum12 Fight Club beat-down, poured into a tulip. Pours a slightly hazy amber brown in the glass that shows bright amber when held up to light. An aggressive pour created a huge creamy off-white head that leaves tons of lacing on the way down. The aroma is a combination of light citrus hops, with oranges and pineapple, and a light caramel malt sweetness. It’s kinda got a musty character to it, with some earthy hops as it warms. The taste has a minimal hop kick up front with hints of citrus before giving way to a slight toasted caramel malt backbone. The finish is a combination of sweet malts and a little earthy hop bitterness. The mouthfeel is creamy with plenty of carbonation and medium-bodied overall. This is a solid brew that very drinkable. It’s not extraordinarily complex, but it’s got enough flavor to make it a very good beer.

Quite and amped up amber in the hop department - a lot of earthy hops in the nose - the flavor starts bitter and almost peppery - followed fast by a light fruity character and a medium caramel maltiness - medium-bodied and quite quaffable.
