Lancaster Amish Four Grain Ale

Brewed by Lancaster Brewing Co.
Style: American Pale Ale
Lancaster, Pennsylvania USA

Bottle. Dark orangeish color. Medium head. Um, a slightly sweet and bitter taste at the same time. Kind of confusing actually. I don’t know if I like this beer. It has a nice finish, but it is odd.

Bottle: Orange biased amber, thick haze, large eggshell colored head, frothy, fairly nice lacing, no noticeable carbonation.   Soft malt nose, a bit of sweet & sour actually.   Somewhat grassy on the tongue, sweet, with a touch of herbalness.   Moderate body and mouthfeel.   Low hop profile on the exit, remains sweet with a hint of sourness and herbal notes.   Not bad.   Thanks danem for sharing!

Clear, bright amber body with moderate carbonation and a fading, sudsy white head. Malty sweet aroma with notes of toasted bread crusts, caramel, and light rye and spice. Nice characters of rye, malt, and wheat in the flavor plus some moderate bitterness. Finishes semi-dry and clean. A nice refreshing, light bodied, malt-focused beer with ample character. Good session beer.

Pours a strange amber gold. It has a very interesting nose, smells of toasted caramel, burning grains, and citrus. It is bitter, but subtle, it just sneaks up on you. Very complex hop flavor, you really taste all the different "grains".

Barrel Draught from the jug at the GABF, Colorado Convention Center 30/09/2005 Golden coloured with fruit and hop aroma and flavours. Smooth on the palate with a pleasant malt finish.

12 oz bottle. Pours a dark amber with a small fleeting beige head. Aroma is predominatly caramel and toasted malt with some floral hops. Very muddled flavor, bland lightly bitter hops over a caramel malt base. Finish is sweet and unremarkable. Mouthfeel is thin with almost an extract like syrupy finish. Carbonation is at least fine bubbled and pleasing. Overall, one of the least hoppy Pale Ale’s I’ve ever had. Maybe better classified as an Amber ale. This needs alot more hops and a crisper cleaner palate.

12oz. bottle. Pours muted amber brown with a light cream coloured head. Dandelions and a hint of orange peel on the nose. The initial flavour is mild caramel and a round mouthfeel from the oats used with a light hop presence. The finish is distinctly rye-centric which becomes a little overwhelming as it builds with each sip. Overall a pretty nice beer though not exceptional.

Bottle Poured a dark coppery amber with small sandy colored head. A little lacing. Basic medium dark slightly roasted malts. A fairly full feel but uninspiring flavors overall. Slightly chalky fell at the end and very little trailing biterness.
