Lang Creek Tri-Motor Amber Ale

Formerly brewed at Lang Creek Brewing Co.
Style: Amber Ale
Marion, Montana USA

Thank you to my secret santa for this. Was the first I have tried so far and it isn’t my favorite. Nice amber color. Pretty lacings, but the taste is boring and not very enjoyable.

THis was an OK brew that I had on a flight during a trip to portland. It was free to me so I didn’t say no, but it was nothing worth buying so perhaps that is why. Copper in color and decent taste but nothing memorable.

Bottled. Nothing special here. Had a good malt flavor to it but that was it. Tasted like a beer.

Call it an amber, but it looks and tastes like a brown to me. Brown color with a thin tan head, it has a nutty malt aroma. A creamy mouth-feel with a spicy finish. Not a bad brew from my beer club.

bottle 22 oz. Mostly clear brown with fair straw head that fell quick. Aroma is nutty, earthy, mildewy with a bit of a hop spice. Flavor has this, in my opinion, rather different, nutty, mildewy taste that is a bit spicey and sharp. (I'd guess there's Belgian yeast in here). It is delivered however on a rather low end of medium body overall. I didn’t much care for it, but I think it would be easy to develop a taste for it. I also had it on tap which was a lot smoother and better balanced but too light bodied for me. (then again most ambers are). ...... I got to visit the brewery and it is literally in the middle of nowhere in western Montana. I hope to attend their open house (which reportedly includes eats) in July next year. The setting alone will be worth the trip.

This is another beer from my beer club from brewery I am not familiar with. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a slightly hazy medium brown color with a small tan head. The appearance was rather disturbing since the beer is labeled as an amber, but it is nice looking none the less. The aroma is mild and has elements of malt and nut. The flavor is malty, almost smoky and there is a faint sour tang in the finish. Not bad, but this really is in all ways a basic English brown ale not an amber.

One good Amber deserves another:) Alaskan(ESB) beers might be upset because Lang Creek put two planes on their bottle and they only used one:( Thin head dark amber color. Very tasty but not as good as the Medocino Red Tail. Don’t get me wrong this is a very good amber. Just doesn’t have the big Amber flavor of Mendocino. Still a very good beer. Thanks to Slikwily for this bottle to sample.

Amber with a thin white head. Aroma was light but had caramel and floral notes. Spicy hop flavor dominated throughout there was a hint of some malt and nuttiness.
