Commercial Description:
We invite you to experience our Amber Ale, a beer as beautiful to look at as it is to drink. Our recipe blends our own pale malt base with three specialty malts and the freshest "American" noble hobs. The resulting deep, rich color of Olde Towne Amber Ale means great flavor, leaning toward the malty side with just a hint of hops in the bouquet. Olde Towne Amber Ale is a feast for the eyes, nose and mouth. Tasting is understanding.

( 12oz bottle, courtesy of thirdeye11 ) Pours a clear amber body with a medium white head. Aroma of toasted nuts, whisky (odd…), cereal, and caramel (nose resembles a much stronger beer). Flavor of toasted grain, caramel malt, marzipan, and nuts. Something seems a bit off in this batch.

12oz bottle thrown in as an extra from brentfreesh (thanks for ticking off another very hard to get state for me!). Poured a medium and slightly cloudy amber color with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas of butter with some caramel in the background. Tastes lighter butter and caramel. Definitely past its prime (I wonder how old this bottle is).

12oz bottle-thanks to Joe/jwc215 and Danner-pours an off white head and amber color. Aroma is medium malt-caramel/somewhat molasses-like, earthy and kind of a weird mix. Taste is medium malt-caramel/somewhat molasses-like, secondary earthy hops, over roasted and kind of a weird mix, maybe a bit smoky. Half way between an amber and rauch.

Bottle... RBSG2006... Murky, deep amber ale with millions of floaties suspended within. Small, fizzy, off-white head. Funky nose with notes of honey. Also plenty of evidence of aldehyde and lactic acid in both the aroma and flavor. Fortunately, I dig "tart." Medium-bodied and astringent with soft carbonation. Bone dry, coarse finish. Keep those tanks and bottles clean down in Huntsville!

Pours amber with a tannish head. Smells of yogurt, pepper. Tastes of citrus and tarte with a breaddy finish. Some nuttiness present as well. Very vegetal as it warms up.

This poured a near headless amber and had a cloyingly sweet malt aroma topped with a nutty, pungently bitter smell. The flavor settles down a bit, just the toned down sweet malt, although the bitterness returns in the finish. This is my first beer from Alabama. It can only get better.

Bottle. Head is initially small, frothy, off-white, fully diminishing. Body is hazy dark amber. Aroma is moderately malty (cereal, grain, coffee), trace hops (flowers). Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly acidic, moderately bitter, husky. Medium body, watery/oily texture, lively carbonation. An odd, husky, raw, beginner-homebrew-like beer that, shall we say, needs more work.
