Key West Sunset Ale

Brewed by Florida Beer Company
Style: Golden Ale/Blond Ale
Melbourne, Florida USA

Bottle: Medium-dark golden/amber. Aroma was lightly sweet with malt and a hint of hops. Flavor was malt and light bodied. This tasted absolutely nothing like a golden or blonde ale. Not a horrible beer but perhaps a style change is in order? I agree with nearbeer. This is an amber.

12 Oz bottle courtesy of my sister Angie! Thanks sis for thinking of me while on the beach!! Poured a very pretty orange golden color with a very nice foamy head. Smelled like sweet straw. Taste was pretty good when it was cold. Not a ton of flavor, just a light malt, some caramel and a hint of fruit. Not terrible, but not entirely full of flavor either...I appreciate the thought tho!! Who doesnt like free beer???

Amber color with a head that quickly settles to a thin layer. Aroma is malty and grassy with just a hint of citrus fruit. Malty flavor with a light bitter hop profile, a bit saazy, and slightly sweet. Darker color and fuller than expected. Pretty basic but I liked it for what it is.

(Tap @ Rum Barrel, Key West, FL): Pours a somewhat cloudy, dark orange color. Smallish, lasting head, yellow-whitish, decent lacing. Orangish aroma, good. Citrusy taste, some small nutty taste. Some dusty taste, some lager. Hoppy, somewhat bitter taste.

Bottle - Pours a light gold, with a pure white head that disappeared almost immediately. Plenty of hops, but yet not too heavy keeping it a "light" ale. Tasty.

Bottle. Nose is very mild, sweet citrus, and hops. Pours a hazy light orange with no head. Palate is extremely flat and watery with no kick at all. Flavor is very subtle hops, watered down. Boring.

not much to rave about here. Bottle claims it to be a 3.5 of 5 on its own "dark" meter. well ok I suppose if your next darkest is a miller lite clone. anyways barely more then a gold color pour with white medium sized head. Nose kind of smells like cheap beer with a little more malt and a wince of hop. Flavor brings those qualities out a bit more bringing an almost toasted malt nutty character to the table. But not enough to entice and when mixed with its slight over carbonation it makes for a very mediocre drink.

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
