Formerly brewed at New Glarus Brewing Company
Style: Amber Ale
New Glarus, Wisconsin USA

I’ve been gone for a while. Still have allot of great beers to rate from this summer. Starting back at this with this gem. I love New Glarus and JPDIPSO is still my hero even though I’ve been gone a while. Very nice beer. Roasty flavor, full bodied and definitely tasty. Excellent beer. Can’t say anything more than that.

Pours a nice brown color, with a modest tan head. A maltry aroma, with maybe a bit of nuttiness and coffee. Sweet, malty flavor, very smooth. Slight bitter finish. A good session beer.

A standard weeknight sitting on my couch watching tv. This beer is the book definition of brown. There is no other way to describe it than brown. Looks like someone melted a brown Crayola in my glass. On top of the crayon is a little tan head. Malty, somewhat nutty. There are some dark fruit aromas, rasin and plum. Very smooth, malty, and fruity. Rasin plays nicely with a sweet malt. Some mild astringency and bitterness, but not too bitter. Quite smooth on the palate and in the finish.

ReRate-pours a murky brown amber hue with a small off-white head. chocolate, malted ball aroma and nothing else really. flavors show this but as it warms, some light spicy hop notes come out as well. the carbonation is way too much and the body suffers. not a bad beer, but not great either. Dark reddish-brown color with a malty aroma. Thin head that fades slowly. Sweeter than expected with a mild hops and malt combination. Goes down smooth and is easy to sip.

Bottle - thanks to badgerben! Pours dark brown with slight hazy blackberry hightlights when held to light. Mild aroma, malty and just a hint of floral hops. Flavor is sweet with an nice hop bite and a lingering dry finish. Medium body and prickly carbonation. Nice and easy to drink - a good session ale.

A nice off-white head that lingers as a thin rind around the glass. Deep ebony brown, slightly hazy. Aroma of yeast and biscuits. Taste starts as nothing, but grows on the palate while the initial hop sharpness recedes. Real complexity emerges as sweet malt or molasses. Then that’s gone as well. Style points for originality. Very good overall,

I just don’t know what the heck to expect from an alt anymore. Very dark brown color with a thin head. Light aroma of malts that start to stand out more in the taste. It strikes me as very rich, but not very deep in the flavor department. It’s enjoyable.

Brown Coloring With White Head. Sweet and Malty...Little Bread Dough Flavoring..but Light.. Nice Simple Brew.
