Key West Sunset Ale

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

Draft in Orlando - Looked OK, smelled sweet and tired. Pretty feeble palate, not much there. I’ll pass in the future.

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

This blond ale pours a medium yellow gold color from a 12 oz bottle. Small sized white foamy head. The aroma is fruity and sweet, touch of banana, touch of floral hops. A light to medium bodied blond/golden ale. The malts are fruity and sweet, touch of grain and some banana. The hops are floral and sort of strong for a blond ale. Decent carbonation. Kind of mild tasting, it is a golden ale, but there is a touch of a hop bite. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.

Mostly sweet maltiness with very little hops. A hint of apricot as well. Light and rather bland.

In the bottle from Beertopia. Pours a reddish amber with a medium yellowish head. bditty187 said that these florida beers would not be the worst beer I’d ever tasted. He’s right, but they are certainly nothing special. Mildy hoppy, the finish leaves a bit of tartness. Benign.

The aroma is sweet toasted malt with a light hopping. The appearance is amber gold with an average size head that falls fast. The flavor is pretty good and somewhat sweet. I taste roasted malt and a light bitterness. The palate is decent too. I would drink another one.

Clear light amber body with a small white head. Sweet malty and light caramel aroma. Sweet malt, more caramel, and some light grassy hops.

Bottle. This surprised me as I wasn’t expecting much. Gold in colour with a white head. Mild bitterness with light malt and citrus notes. Quite refreshing. I wouldn’t say no to another.
