Anderson Valley Boont Amber Ale

Brewed by Anderson Valley Brewing Company
Style: Amber Ale
Boonville, California USA

Pours amber with thin off white head. Aroma is sweet and hoppy. Body is medium/light. Flavor is full of caramel with a good bitterness at the finish.

Pours a reddish amber with an offwhite head. The aroma is sweet, earthy, musty, dank. The flavor is earthy, sour, hoppy, caramel, balance for sure, but a nasty sour diacetyl taste. Not a fan of amber ales, i just dont like them.

Mmm. Pours with a pretty tan, large and rocky head. The color is attractively amber with slight carbonation. Aroma is full of straightforward caramel and roasted malt, with a perfect hop-malt balance. Just what I like in a beer! The taste is just right; smooth, and medium bodied, and there is also an extra element to the taste (rye, pepper, caraway?) that sets this apart from other ambers. That and the beautiful balance make Boont Amber definitely worth trying and a beer that is easily drinkable yet complex and bittersweet at the same time. Great toffee finish.

Nice color, malty with moderate hops. lightly sweet, on the thin side. Not bad, but didn’t do a lot for me.

Nice amber ale. Typical flavors, but with great malt flavors and just a touch of hops. Slightly sweet finish.

Amber color of course. Thin head. Nice malt and some good herbal/pine hops. Its a little sweet and a little bitter. Quite good and the best Amber I’ve ever had.

Caramel brown pour with a touch of red. A quickly dissipating fluffy head. This was not a very complex beer, but was a bit sweet and surprisingly good. I’ll have it again.

Pours a dark copper color with a thin white head. No lacing. Medium bodied, with hints of semi sweet fruits, molasses, some hops, and spices. Finishes with the taste of yeast and spice.
