Point Amber Classic Beer

Brewed by Stevens Point Brewery
Style: Vienna
Stevens Point, Wisconsin USA

Pours a strong copper color with hints of orange and amber colors. Really this is the like looking at a fresh penny. The head was very small and next no lacing. Both were gone quickly. The smell was light. Some malt characteristics are the most noticeable. Some light munich and vienna flavors in the malt and blend with a somewhat sweeter and earth-esk hop tone. Some what of a minerally or what I describe as s hard-watery nose to it as well. The taste has a light malt flavor with a bread like taste to it. Some very light roasted characteristics with a lighter base malt mixed together. The hops are very light on the tongue too. Some limited earthiness specifically at the front but more lighter, herbal floral tastes as well. The beer is overall very light but not really watered down. Some good taste are here but they are minute. Also there a “hard-water” in the nose and taste that I just not like. So take it on that.

Amber with thin off-white head. Aroma of caramel, sweet malts & a little doughy. Light palate though decently balanced. Tastes of caramel and bread with a medium bitter finish.

Pour: A dark Amber red, with a head. Nose: A caramel malt, roasted malt, wheat, citrus, and floral notes Taste: light on the malt characters, notes of wheat and bread. Body: Thin Finish: Nonexistent Overall: it is an okay beer.

On tap at Murphy’s on the U of Illinois campus. Amber colored pour. Lightly malty aroma. Lightly malty and spicy flavor, a little grainy as well. A pretty one-dimensional beer. Not offensive, but not exciting either.

Sampled at Food and Froth. A nice Vienna, which is not a flavor for everyone. A little stronger in flavor than most Ambers, with a nice nose and appearance. Pretty good.

Bottle, not a great Vienna. Tried this after having knowledge that Stevens Point beers are not that great, so I probably learned my lesson on this one. It was pleasant enough for one bottle, but I will not purchase this one again. Once is enough.

Beautiful red beer with a nice foamy head that hold well. Very wine/malt nose, like a wheat. Lite sweet malt flavor with a very wet finish that helps the malt flavor linger.

Poured crimson red color with little head. Aroma is sweet malt and hops. Taste is slightly bitter with a light hop finish. Overall a pretty average beer with no outstanding qualities.
