Grays Rathskeller Amber Ale

Dark red-brown pour with tan head. Aroma of caramel malt. Flavor of malt, little nutty, slight dry finish.

Clear, almost ruby amber with a large beige head, fading to a film. Simple malt aroma with a bit of cider to it. Flavor weak, vaguely malty, not much there in the beginning, a bit of wort and tea in the middle, some cidery elements and a bit of bitterness develop towards the finish. Thin body, somewhat carbonated.

A typical amber, didn’t jump out at me as anything special. I would choose something else on their tap list.

12 oz. bottle - Pours a brownish copper color with small head that fades quickly. Aroma - smells exactly like tootsie roll blow pop with a hint of alcohol. Flavor - has a candy like blow pop taste. Palate - light to medium mouthfeel with average carbonation. Finish is bland with no aftertaste. Overall - Blah, blah, blah !?!?!

Not a fan. Still haven’t had much luck with Ambers. Stale aftertaste is probably the worst of this one’s bad qualities.

Amber, slightly cloudy appearance with a thin white head. Sweet taste and aroma with floral hops and a hint a caramel malt. Not bad, kind of different.

Pours a amber/copper color with a small off white head. Aroma is lightly sweet caramel malt, dough and light hops. Flavor is nicely sweet but balanced nicely. A very light bodied Amber Ale but still very good tasting.
