Anderson Valley Boont Amber Ale

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

A hazy amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet and quite hoppy, but also with notes of caramel. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of cow berries and caramel and again with nice hoppy notes, leading to a dry end.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Pours a beautiful, clear, warm amber colour with a creamy, off-white head. Nice aroma of fruity hops. Medium body, pleasant accents of caramel with a light sweetness. The finish is dry without much bitterness. A very well crafted and quaffable amber. 200307

Bottled. Pale amber, average head. Citric peach aroma. Sweet and fruity with clean mouthfeel and medium body. Dominated by the caramelly crystal malt character until the finish, that has plenty of herbal spices and good bitterness. Comepared to the MacTarnahans Amber Ale I had alongside it is somewhat empty and has less attractive malt character.
