Key West Sunset Ale

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

...bottle and tap. Better on tap, of course, but still lacks body and flavor. Hps on the nose, but little else to offer. Slight citrus notes, but barely there, with an amber color and small, non-lasting head. Typical of the Key West beers, light and flavorless.

Has a hoppy aroma with a bitter aftertaste. Not a bad beer, but I wouldn’t go out of my way.

Bottle-Nice looking amber color with a small head. A soft touch of hops gets you excited, but there isn’t a follow up. The flavors aren’t bad, but there just isn’t any depth to the taste. You can taste the fruitiness with the hops, but that’s about it. Totally unoffensive beer.

Bottle. Nice visual explosion of red and orange. Robust aroma of malt and cherry. Palate starts well, with good richness, before suddenly disappearing under the horizon. Cherry flavour and some malt, again, gets things off to a good start before dropping off as the flavour evolution progresses. Average at best.

Overall a good beer. Nice hint of sweetness. Plays well on the palate. I wouldn't pay the price it usually sells at, but I'd definitely take a glass from a friend who's buying.

Aroma: bananas, carmel malts, vanilla, shoes--smells like a fruit conglomerate that was left out to ferment
Appearance: murky brown, small, white head
Flavor: very weak and watery. some yeast and alcohol flavors. tastes like hydrogen peroxide, bread, and chocolate
Palate: smooth, fizzy, yeasty finish

Color is somewhere between straw and amber. Moderate body with a thickish and creamy head. Somehat flowery aroma. A rather cloying, chalky mouthfeel with a long lasting bitterness. An ever so slightly above average ale.

Poured an amber color with very little head. Had a light caramel aroma with light caramel and malt flavors. As is the case with most beers of this style, this one was a very forgettable beer.
