Fiddlers Green Amber

Brewed by Matt Brewing Company
Style: Amber Ale
Utica, New York USA

Bottle poured a light amber. Smelled sweet. Big head, 2 fingers. Not watery but light. Some what sweet, it was smooth. Just an ok beer.

Very nice daily beer. Pours amber color with two fingers of head, moderate lacings. Nice hops and malt balance. More of a lager than an amber. Good session brew. Would like to try this on tap. Recommended.

Clear amber body with a small beige head. Sweet malty, doughy nose with vienna malts, green grapes and honey. Slightly sweet taste, watery with light caramel, ice tea and light floral hops. Medium/light body is thin and moderately carbonated.

This beer has a very malty and somewhat honeyed aroma. The aroma is grainy and packs a slightly fiery bread/yeast flavor with a smooth honeysuckle aftertaste. Hop bitterness is restrained but present and fairly mild and not too flowery or woody. I think this is a pretty good beer and I might buy some more as a simple everyday beer if I can find it for a decent price.

hazy orange with medium white head. doughy, malty aroma. malt then hops then grassy bitterness. yeasty, not so great balance.

Bottle: Fiery orange, translucent, moderate foamy off-white head, spotty lacing.   Malty nose, very slight overcooked vegetable, barnish, dusty.   Semi-sweet on the tongue, decent malt base, low bitterness, less grainy than I would have thought.   Out of the three Fiddler’s Green beers, this so far is one that the most decent.   A little thin, but at least towards the backside it has no real off flavors.   Average body and mouthfeel.   Light on the backside, but at least its not as dirty as the rest.   Looking at the others this is the lowest scored, but to be honest, I think this is a better example of an Amber than either of the other two as Pale and IPA.   Marginal at best, but not half bad.

12oz bottle. Medium orange-tan color. Mild and creamy, with an almost vanilla-like flavor in the background. Great session beer, rich malty taste. Light hop presence.

Bottle… Clear, deep amber ale with orange highlights and a small, creamy, off-white head. Good retention. Malty, meaty nose with metallic, earthy hops. Also, notes of English toffee, caramel and biscuit with subdued copper or nickel. Medium sweet caramel flavor perfectly balanced by minerally, metallic bitterness. Uninteresting. Medium-bodied and lightly creamy with lively carbonation. Crisp, metallic, mildly bitter finish.
