Phenomenal beer - I just love this beer and can come back for more and more the firm bitterness and fragrant hop aroma just floats my boat

I was told this is the new version of the Centennial Amber since it was the award winner. Outstanding aroma and mouthfeel-a good cross between an amber and red, with enough hops to keep it from being sweet. One of the best I’ve ever had at Emmetts-and that’s saying a lot.

On tap at West Dundee location. Red/amber with a medium-sized white head that is mostly diminishing down to a thin film. Rather strong hop aroma with some caramel and toffee notes. Hops follow pretty fluidly into the flavor - bitter hops, caramel, vanilla cookie malt finish. Medium carbonation level is just about perfect. Surprisingly delicious.

#1036, on tap at the Brewery in West Dundee Illinois. This is a new addition to the rotation and the bartender stated that the word is that this is going to be a regular beer for now on. Even though the Centennial Amber will remain. He mentioned that this brew is different in that the Malts and the Hops are different. He said that it is much like a cross between the Centennial and the Victory. Really, that is the best description that I can give.Hazy amber with a medium sized longer lasting white head. Nose is rather strong with a very good hop presence. Piney. The taste upfront is rather hoppy, again, lots of pine and sap. The taste then moves towards ths malty, runny, thin almost metallic like and cob-webby flavor that really nails the amber part. As it warms this really comes out more. Not much alcohol and Id guess its around 6 or so. Strong brew and should really appeal to those people that like the victory and want just a bit more than the Centennial.
