Long Valley German Valley Amber

Brewed by Long Valley Pub and Brewery
Style: Amber Ale
Long Valley, New Jersey USA

Deep amber pour with a creamy white head and lace. Very light caramel malt aroma. Medium malt flavor followed by a very light bitter. Another foamy light bodied beer, but drinkable.

Draught at the pub. Orange-amber body with a clingy white head. Sticky, sticky blood oranges and curacao notes from the nose, light bitterness and caramel. Taste is woody and nutty with sticky malt and watery body. Dry with some earth and gritty toffee. Caramel is really nice here. Hard to finish in quantity. Above-average amber.

Very dark golden, clear and bright coloured ale wearing a small white head that recedes to a ring. Toasty, bready, fresh grain sack aroma with delicate biscuitiness. Not unpleasant at all and supported by refreshing carbonation. Soft zesty hops complete the portrait. A good example.

Crystal clear amber body with off-white head. Aroma is medium sweet, caramel, light toast. Taste is medium sweet, caramel, some peach, faint earthy. Light-medium body, light effervescence.

On tap at the brew pub. Pours a translucent golden amber with a medium bubbly white head. Aroma of some orange, caramel, light nuts and bread. Flavor had an up front hop flavor, not over the top but was the first thing that came through. Some caramel malt and toasted malts to balance. Low on hop bitterness that lingers.

A very nice toffee nose leads the way leading to a slightly tart body and a quick lightly bitter finish. As with their other brews, a slightly sewer-like overtone ruined and otherwise perfectly good beer.
