Fish Tale Organic Amber Ale

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

Not that great but a good beer to session. Amber in color, light in body, head quickly diminishing. Low alcohol percentage. Refreshing at the least...

Floral and citrus hops are quite prominent at first but blow off somewhat revealing a toasty underlying malt. Brilliantly clear amber body is topped by a decent, fizzy, off white head that diminishes rapidly to a thin cover. Grassy, citrus and floral hop flavours are joined by a cookie dough like maltiness with slightly sharp bitterness. Soapy in the aftertaste. Medium body with moderate carbonation but somewhat slick texture. Tulip glass. Cellar temperature. Bottle (MLCC, Nov-06).

Pretty color, amber to some copper, nice initial head, diminishes but continues to cover the surface, lacing decent. The aroma was floral hops, some caramel, a touch of roast. The flavor was watery, caramel, some citrus, floral hops, and an odd roasty, slight chocolate or coffee in the background. Mouthfeel was on the thin side. Not a terribly pleasing beer, but not too bad.

Bottle via trade with piscator34. Pours a very nice, slightly hazy deep amber with a good sized white head. Solid aroma with a good balance of sweet malt, floral hops, and a hint of cocoa. Flavour follows the aroma pretty closely, with a bit more hop character in the finish as it warms. A solid, flavourful beer - quite nice.

The aroma has mostly malt but chocolate, caramel, water, and floral hops are all in there. The appearance is amber-mahogany with a small but foamy head. The flavor is an exact extension of the aroma with a mild bitter sweet chocolate finish. The palate is smooth. I would make time to pencil this one into my busy beer drinking schedule again.

33 cl bottle, Winnipeg. Cloudy amber colour, sweet malty aroma. Overly carbonated, undesireable bitter aftertaste.

12 oz bottle via Liquid Solutions. Pours a semi hazy amber color with a small head. Not much aroma, just a bit of caramel malt and grass. Flavor starts out with some sweet caramel, then a bit of orange, a little smokiness and toasted malts, and finishes with a bit of grassiness. Light/medium bodied and a bit thin. A tad bit much carbonation...Good session beer....

Pours a waxy deep amber w/ a moderate semi creamy froth. Aroma has a floral citrus hop w/ slight biscuiting and sulpher. Crispy malt w/ a slight hop and grapefruit. Moderate bittering on the finsh. Overall: Not bad but the sulpher was undesirable.
