Butte Creek Organic Ale

Formerly brewed at Butte Creek Brewing Company
Style: Amber Ale
Chico, California USA

Pours orange with almost no head. Not very attractive at all. Smelld of grain, musty mild hops, and faint malts. Maybe a little citrus too. The taste is quite watery, bitter malt character and grain. Some traces of yeast and very slight hops are there too, but there is nothing about these flavors that resembles anything good.

Gold pour. Just a bit of off white carbonation. Toasty, biscuity malt and subtle, crisp hops. Stale grain in the finish. Light body, balanced carbonation. Drinkable with some pizza or a burger, but that’s about it.

This was a decent drinkable beer, but not a whole lot going on here. Drinkable beer plain and simple

Bottle poured a hazy light amber with a small lingering offwhite head. Aromas of bread, carmel, light fruitiness and a hint of earthiness. Palate was light bodied and smooth. Flavors of carmel, earthiness and a hint of pine with a lingering bitter finish.

Hazy light amber colour. Aroma of autolysis and burnt electrical wire. Taste is bland, toasty, fairly clean. Still, a pretty dull brew.

12oz bottle. murky orange color. Little chunks of organic bits, maybe manure, buzzin around inside the pool of mud. Doesn’t smell very good. Kinda like a septic tank! I hope this is just a bad bottle because this is a really awful beer!!! Has a very medicinal flavor with a hint of dirt. The burps are of rubber, GROSS. This one has definitely left an impression. The only beer I have found from this brewery so far that is a beer is Rev X... Very poor.

Caramel malts against citrus hops, the typical northwest formula. Light sweet cereal bread flavor gave me quick flashes of alt bier, but the stronger citrus hops kicked me right back to the PNW. Slightly funky flavor in the finish, kinda vegitable and medicinal, kinda ruined what this beer had in the start.

Bottle. Poured hazy copper with a slight, dissipating white head. Pilsnery nose. Dry and bitter flavor up front. A more cereal-like aftertaste. Overall, an average ale in my mind.
