Cricket Hill Tennessee Reserve

Brewed by Cricket Hill Brewing Co.
Style: Amber Ale
Fairfield, New Jersey USA

Served directly from oak barrel, this had a citrusy nose, and was a copper color with a small light tan head. The smoky bourbon barrel flavor was very pronounced and the mouthfeel was a tad sticky. Overall, it had a nice flavor (in a boilermaker sort of way), but I think this one is more of a winter brew. Next time, I hope they try aging their very drinkable Porter in this same fashion.

on cask at the brewery party 06.02.07 Lightly hazy amber in color with a small bubby head. Aroma: caramel, floral and citrus hops, notes of berries/dark fruit, wood and bourbon. Taste- pretty much the same as American ale with a good dose of bourbon and wood. Bourbon and oak is alittle too strong for this beer, as I expected it would be. Still, an interesting experiment.
