Fish Tale Organic Amber Ale

Brewed by Fish Brewing Company/Leavenworth Beers
Style: Amber Ale
Olympia, Washington USA

Bottled (thanks omhper!). Slightly hazy amber colour, not much head. Aroma is quite boring, mainly spices and some hops. Flavour is imalts, hops some spices. Dry hoppy aftertaste.

Bottle. Amber color. Fruity hoppy aroma. The hop taste more German than something from the Northwest, which kinda confuses me. The Hallertau hops remind me of some German style I’ve never tried before. Is this beer some kind of ale version of German Export Beer? Maybe in a classic Biergarten with accompanying castanian trees this libation would make more sense. This brew is also surprisingly light ---> Session Beer.

(Bottle, thanks omhper) Pours amber. Light fruity aroma with some spicy and floral hops to back it up. Caramel, toast and maybe some hints of roast in the malt blend. Just a touch of hay. Light fruity flavour with nice, tiny toasted/roasted malt backbone. Some floral notes. Light to medium bitter and dry. Light to medium bodied.

Bottled. Clear amber. Caramelly nose. Sweet, perfumy and lightly roasty. Light bodied with some hay and dough. Finishes with medium bitterness. A well balanced easy drinking ale.

Bottle courtesy of Piscator 34: Poured a cloudy deep amber color ale with a nice foamy head with some good retention and lacing. Aroma of bitter and citrus hops is more dominant then expected with some light caramel malt. Taste is a mix between some bitter and light citrus hops and some caramel malt with some light sweetness also noticeable. Overall, I thought this was a nice hoppy session ale.

12oz bottle. pours light red with off white head. nose is grainy, toffee, flavor is toasted biscuit, very nutty, and subtle cherry and plums. decent. really reminds me of fat tire because of it’s nutty malt driven amber ale lacking much of a hop presence.

12-oz. Pours deep hazy amber with a thick and fluffy platinum blonde head. Has that same interesting sourness that their other organics do; kind of forest floor-y. Nice assertive nutty flavor-forward attack. A little watery. Tingly soft carb, nice little gentle piney hop bite around the edges of the mouth. Not much finish to speak of, and not very dimensional or complex, but super clean and easy drinking. Nice summer beer.
