Commercial Description:
Cricket Hill American Ale is an easy drinking “amber” ale with a wonderful balance of caramel sweetness and hop flavor. The aroma has a slight note of citrus and rock candy. There is not an imported ale on the market that tastes this fresh.

Nice easy drinking beer. Unfortunately the brew was changed slightly from the previous recipe (which I thought was better). However, this beer is always fresh with a mild citrus flavor and seldom tastes oxidized like so many others. Overall an excellent brew at a very reasonable price.

Very good - I was pleasantly surprised. Great color, flavor, and aroma. I’ll definitely look for this one again.

What a nice beer. I met the brewer, Rick Reed at the brewery, and I have to say...impressive.

Light amber color with a small creamy beige head. Aroma is a little hoppy. Flavor of hops with a little malt. Long bitter hop finish. Thanks to Dogbrick for the trade.

Now in DC (12 oz bottle) - Clear sparkling amber, thick creamy lightly tanned head. Great lacing all the way through. The nose was a nice blend of toasted grains, florals, and touches of toffee. Flavor was similar with floral hops and caramel malt balancing each other to near perfection. Full bodied, soft smooth carbonation, bittersweet finish. Very easy to drink, perfect for quantity sessions, and not nearly as bad as the score would indicate.

RERATE: bumping up a few things after a second round with this refreshing ale! ORIGINAL: A solid ale. Very fresh and lively even after having several beers prior. Certainly a good go-to beer.

Update: Tap at Andy’s. I would swear this has been upgraded in aggressiveness. Love the hoppy aroma and malty hoppy flavors. Much improved over first time, very drinkable and has enough oomph to keep you interested. New rating.

Light color. Clean aroma with a touch of hop. Light flavor, with a little hop note in the background. Very drinkable, but nothing there to really seek.6-5-5-3-10

At NJ Craft Brew Fest 2005: A solid amber ale. Perhaps their best beer available that day. They should brew more beers.
