Barbary Coast Gold Rush Style Beer

Brewed by Minhas Craft Brewery
Style: Amber Ale
Monroe, Wisconsin USA

light orange tinted amber with almost no head. sweet toffee aroma that is not really inviting. gummy mouthfeel, really leaves a tree sap feel. grainy taste with some light burnt hop. finish is caramle with some charcoal.

Ah, so this is a California Common. I had no idea what a "Gold Rush Style" would be. I like the label’s "Iceless Fermentation" banner. I don’t know that much about brewing, much less lagers, and I know that the claim to fame of the style is the warmer temperature brewing of a lager, but since when did lagers ever have to have ice? The beer is pretty plain on the whole, but it does have just a ton of malt character, with a strong caramel flavor and some fruit notes. Slightly hoppy but a surprisingly thin body with a touch of grass and metal in the finish. Vibrant copper color. Thanks to Markus for passing this along.

my first of a new style! malty, hops, yeasty and little else going on. however, its a good session beer is what my notes say, which is a term i think i stole from mike however a few of the previous raters seem to agree.

I can honestly say that I have never heard of this style before. And I wasn’t very impressed with it. Came across as very thin with a slight fruitiness. Could make for a good session or starter beer.

I really liked this beer, Nice balance of malt and hops, had a great subtle taste of caramel. very good social setting beer

This brew pours with an amber body topped by a thin head with some lacing. The aroma is slighlty bitter, woody and hoppy with a slight underlying maltiness. The flavor is slightly sweet and malty with a slight grassy hoppiness. Light to medium bodied and smooth.

Eh nice lil beer. nothing revolutionary, but not a slouch either. Pretty plain flavors, but with some exuberance. Bready, slightly bitter.

Copper hue, fast disappearing head and a muted aroma-malty, a little spice with maybe some bubblegum. Light bodied, the flavor was weak as was the carbonation-lightly fruity with some caramel, a hint of sourness and a short finish. Supposably a "steam" style beer, this one could definitely use some tweaking.
