Delafield Amber

Brewed by Delafield Brewhaus
Style: Amber Ale
Delafield, Wisconsin USA

On draught at the brewery: Pours a clear amber colour with a large white head. Plenty of fizz and plenty of excitement in this beer. Decent caramel malt notes and some floral hops come through near the finish.

Pretty limp, even for an amber - light bodied, with some ambiguous fruity tones and amild, clean malt sweetness - a tiny bit of crisp bitterness on the end - boring, but clean and drinkable.

Sampler at brewpub. Light amber color. Light aroma of caramel malt. Decent sweet flavor.

Amber with thin white head. Very little aroma, slight sweet malts. Taste is a little fishy and metallic and semi-astringent. Bad aftertaste. Next.

On draught at the brewpub in Delafield, Wisconsin. Pours a clear copper amber brew with a creamy off-white head that slowly dissipates to a fine film and off-white ring. Aroma of light caramel malt, a touch of iced tea, grassy hops and some light fruity apples. Taste is light to medium bodied, light carbonation with flavors of light caramel malt, grassy hops and a touch of light toffee. Finish is light, crisp, a little watery with a mild ice tea aftertaste that quickly disappears.

On tap at Delafield Brewhaus. POured translucent coppery-amber with a light cap of white head. The aroma picked up sweet caramel and redder fruits.. nice, but not a lot in terms of complexity. The flavor had a caramel base with prickly pine accenting.. plums and apricots graced the edges.. dry bitter finish.. this just didn’t flow well. Dry and lighter-bodied on the palate.. not offensive, but not good.

Smapler; Aroma was like wet cardboard left out in the rain overnight. Light amber body color. Flavor has a medium malty sweetness to it. Intriging part is it left like a five star brandy taste on the palate.
