Fire Station 5 Fire Boat Amber

Brewed by Portland Brewing Company (Pyramid)
Style: Amber Ale
Portland, Oregon USA

22 oz. bottle- No head, malty, not a very good beer. Amber ales are not my style and this one is the worst that i’ve had.

22 oz bottle. Smells of caramel, malt. Pours a medium head which disappears fairly quickly. Pretty hoppy for an amber. The unpleasant metallic flavor I tasted in the blonde is present here as well. Ends poorly with no head and turns watery. Tastes a little like a wet dog. Below average amber.

Bottle thanks to ditmier: Pours a transparent amber orange with a thin, wispy-lacing off-white head. Aroma of lightly sweet caramel malt and a touch of toasted nut character with some mild hops. Starts with average fullness and a light caramely sweetness along with an ok balance of bittering hops. Finishes drier and lightly bittersweet. Very drinkable and smooth, but nothing exceptional for the style.

2009 Bottle - Pours a pale orange with a good sized off white head...aroma is like a wet sponge growing all sorts of harmful bacteria...flavour is not much different, lightly bitter, a bit malty, heavily carbonated to try to cover the taste in my opinion...my drain even thought it was shit...

This is what happens when I let other people pick the beer we are going to drink that night. I should know better by now, seriously.

22oz bottle. Pours clear amber in color with white head. Aroma malty and light hops. Taste of malt, caramel and bitter hops with bitter finish.

didnt bother pouring, medium body with a caramel maltiness. not bad but theres really no depth to it

12 oz bottle via Fred M. Pours a clear copper with an average size beige head. Nose is malted barley, toasted grains, earthy hops. Tastes like it smells with a bit of cardboard and some grassy hops, and has a dry finish with an astringent metallic aftertaste. Body is medium, carbonation is moderate. An ok backyard beer.
