Lancaster Amish Four Grain Ale

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

Excellent balance... subtle nuances of malt, honey and musk lead to a crisp hoppy finish. Like a fine French wine subtle yet complex and oh so very satisfying & food friendly.

Crisp, clean ale with distinctive hop aroma and flavor. Like drinking a pils.

This beer is hoppy sweet and fruity, and is a true pleasure to drink. It is alot better on tap than in the bottle.

Cloudy orange with a good poofy and sticky head. It has an airy aroma. This has a great texture. It's slightly malty and almost like an Oktoberfest.

Whoa, what a surprise as I sip this stuff out of a sampler case purchased at a local beer outlet for July 4th. Guy working at shop insisted that I try the sampler, saying that the owner had just been to the brewery itself and sampled the beers. He was impressed of course and here I am impressed equally and understand what this guy s insistence was all about . A beautiful light-amber colored brew with a slightly sweetish musky heavenly grain fragrance and mouthfeel. My red wine tasting instincts kind of activate as I quaff this stuff ... funny . "Amber waves of grain". I now am challenged with having to obtain a full 24 bottle case of this stuff, have never seen anything but the sampler . At any rate, this one is one of Pennsylvania's best and must be tried A.S.A.P. There is a real magic(k) about it. (read my rating of other Lancaster brews)

I had this on tap at the brewery and what a floral and fruity experience. I though this was a great Ale making use of the wheat to create esters that played off the malt and hops. Extremely well balanced. If you are in Lancaster take the opportunity to stop by the brewery and try this ale fresh it is not to be missed.

grainy pale. Darker, citrus peels, toasty, nutty. Above average. Some hops and oil in there. Not your British pale, more a blend with an American IPA. I notice the more experienced raters rate this higher and therefore can appreciate it. Thanks Mr_kimchee.

Orange/amber color with a modest off white head. Slightly hoppy but mostly characterized by sweet caramel malts. A decent beer, and I really like the idea of using lots of different grains which gives it some character and uniqueness. I think by using the rye they get some nice dryness and crispness that rounds out the beer well, while the wheat and oats lead to its nice head retention and sweet smooth mouthfeel. Well done.
