Key West Sunset Ale

bottle. Pours orange, white head. Aroma keeps same profile has the other Key West beers. grassy notes with some malts. Flavor, light caramel malts, some sweetness, hops with a light bitter citrus finish.. Pale caramel malts, crisp palate with some yeasty notes. Probably my favorite of this serie.

12 oz bottle thanks to Ibrew2or3. Pours a deep amber color with a medium white head. A light aroma of caramel and some malts. The flavor is dominated by a somewhat earthy mix of malts and caramel, some light fruit struggles to get through. Drinkable.

On tap at Sloppy Joe’s (Florida Keys, FL): Roasted malts, coriander, pepper... It’s refreshing and will do the job for a hot, scalding day, but I’m in the mist of hurricane season right now and could use some hops other than this watered down, sour, bitter, fizzy, p.o.s. #111 on 05092009, DG.

Pours a clear golden amber orange/ light copper color color with .5 finger off-white head that immediately fades into a very thin ring. Light caramel malt aroma with crisp hop presence and faint notes of grass and straw. Very bland with subtle hops and the faintest trace of spice. Lighter side of medium body with sweet caramel maltiness and crsip bitter hop balance. Citrus fruit notes mostly orange peel and tropical fruit with slight spiciness (corriander, pepper). Clean and crisp and pretty well balanced. Sweet fruit and matly flavors balance themselves out fading into a slightly bitter crisp dry finish

12oz bottle into a pint glass. The pour is deep amber (almost like part of a sunset...) with a small white head that goes away fast. The aroma is sweet malts and sugar and a bit of oxidation, I think. The flavor is big under-attenuated sugars combined with paper and some hop on the finish. Not a huge fan of this one - I think this is either quite flawed or the bottle is really old.

Rich amber color with a small rapidly dissipating head. Grainy nose, almost like grits. A sort of tangy, grainy, malt flavor with just a hint of hops. Slight chalkiness which lingers into the finish.

Bottle from Total Wine. Dark straw pour with off-white head. Hops and citrus and caramel malt in the nose. Flavor is pale malty, citric, with some tangerine notes, and a tad watery palate. Mediocre, but i would drink this again under certain circumstances, sweating my ass off being one of them.

Unknown Date (2007?): Golden coor + mild carbonation + quicly diminishing white head + aroma of honey pale malt + flavor of palt malt + dry + light body = Key West Sunset Ale. Nothing to write home about...

12 fl. oz. bottle (sample). Rating #169 for this beer.
