Commercial Description:
Hammerin’ Ale is the Barbarian’s first beer. Brewed to be a well-balanced, easy-going beer, Hammerin’ Ale comes from a rather simple recipe which yields a deep amber color and a sublime balance of malt character and hop flavors. This beer goes very well with grilled meats and is meant to be enjoyed year-round. Hammerin’ Ale is an excellent choice for “Barbarians” who are new to craft beer

On-tap at the brewery tasting room.Tis one at 4.5%. A nice amber colour with a big head, and lacey. So-so drinkable. A bit less tahn average mouthfeel, tingling carbonation. Mildly fruity and hoppy. A little off taste, would like it more bitter.

Brewed in the USA... Pours copper in color with a nice foamy off white head. Aroma of malts, nuts, caramel and earth. Taste of wood, malts, grains and earth. Mouthfeel is kind of thin in body with a lingering dry bitterness. It is a easy going beer !!!!

Those of you who know me will realize instantly why I made a bee-line to try this one at the festival. It was, quite, disapointing. Muddle s and a fair bit too sweet. Lots of over ripe fruit mixed in with a watery body... Hops were about three years old and sittiong in the sun too long. Barf. The hammer was rusty.

Pours a cloudy dark amber color with some golden orange hues when held to a light source and a frothy two finger head that slowly settles into a lasting cap that leaves sporadic chunks of lacing. Aroma is kind of bland with some caramel malt, biscuit and subtle hops. Crisp medium body with some crisp floral hops balanced out by a caramel malt backbone with a slight dry finish. Subtle hints of earthy grass. Decent session beer.

Bottle from Wegman’s Williamsport. Pours deep copper with off-white head. Nose is grainy malt, earthy, citric, with nuts. Tastes malty, earthy, peaty, with hopcitrus and an overall ESB/British mild type of flavor and palate.

22oz bottle purchased from the Williamsport Wegmans, served in an English pint glass. Pours on the darker side of amber with a thin off-white head. Smells very malty with some notes of nuts, grass, and just a hint of citrus. Taste is somehow malty and dry at the same time, nuts, toast, and a bit of DMS. Bitterness is present but not overpowering. Grassy finish lasts for quite some time. A decent enough amber that could be a lot better with a few recipe tweaks.
