Half Pints Bulldog Amber Ale

Bottle. Pretty amber, tanned cream. Cookiemalt aroma. Light malty body, slight herbal counterpoint, bready finish. Grassy retronsal. Drinkable.

I lost my notes on this one (I usually write on the back of the label, but I didn’t this time). I recall enjoying it well enough, and thinking it’s a nice solid amber that’s worth the little extra $. I will re-rate with a more thoughtful profile whenever I get the opportunity to try it again.

Bomber from Brewery Creek: Poured a light amber with a thick creamy head. Muffin aroma, pale malt, some light nuttiness. Flavour was clean and malty with a dry bitter finish. A little light on the palate. A pleasant and safe amber ale.

Pours a crystal-clear copper with a decent head and some lacing with an entirely unremarkable aroma. Tastes equally unremarkable - characteristic Half Pints nutty taste, some grittiness and crystal malt, not much in the way of hops, but definitely some alcohol. Body is light and under-carbonated. Not much to this beer, I do like the nuttiness but I’d prefer more hops, thanks.

Hazy amber, lasting beige head,Salty light malt nose.Slightly grainy malt profile, very light hops. Nothing to bother trying again.
