Commercial Description:
Named after our riverboat, the Betsy Ann on the Alabama in downtown Montgomery, when you drink this deep amber ale you can taste darker caramel malts that leave your palate with a clean, slightly sweet malty flavor. Fuggles and lots of cascade hops contribute to the smooth balance with a slight fruity-floral finish.

Tap at the brewpub. Medium copper body with a thin white head. The aroma was sweet and malty with some caramel. The taste was a little bit of dirt and bread crust. There was also some caramel.

A little whiskey, dough and starchy aroma -- it was hard to tell -- the guy next to me fired up a cigarette. Not very red at all -- appeared like a helles or darkish lager in color -- lighter than their PA. Light nutty sweetness. Good moderation on the hopping, good ph, exceptionally clean drinking, as were all the beers that I tried here.

Mellow caramel malt flavor with no real discernable hops. Smooth and clean, but not a whole lot of flavor. Clear copper body with a white froth of a head.

Poured a reddish amber color with not much of a head, but pretty good lacing. The aroma was of light caramel, no hops. The flavor profile was simple, light caramel. Hops were present (not enough to keep this from being too sweet), none of the American varieties came through in the flavor (bittering only). Mouthfeel was typical.

On draught. Weak taste for a micro-brew but better than other commercial offerings. Malty flavor with a low hop character. Good, but not enough flavor.

Appearance: Garnet-hued body with a dense, lush off-white head. Smell: Altogether bland aroma with only faint hint of caramel and yeastiness. Taste: Light caramel maltiness with a bit of sweetness. Mild hop presence provides a faint tea-like bitterness and a hint of lemon. Bittersweet finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: A bit light on flavor, but it’s still pretty decent.
