Port Townsend Reel Amber

Brewed by Port Townsend Brewing Company
Style: Amber Ale
Port Townsend, Washington USA

Bottle: Copper color, light white head and lacing. Nose of caramel and cream, some light earthy hops. The flavor is malty, decent body with a blah flavor. Nutty and caramelly but nothing to really snap or round out the end. Finishes clean. Ok.

Draught @ Collins Pub, Seattle. Pours a clear dark amber color with a small off-white head. Roasted malty caramel aroma with some hoppy hints. Roasted malty caramel flavor with some hoppy hints. Roasted malty caramel finish with some hoppy bitterness in the aftertaste.

Draft at The Upstage, PT. Pours a dark amber with a bit of tannish froth atop. Much as it pains me to knock the smaller operators of the brewing world, this is a vacant beer and there’s no way round that fact. Big bready nose with nothing else to say, and a flimsy little body with perfectly forgettable carb--not flat, not bubbly. The attack, mid-palate, and finish are all startlingly neutral. Amazingly watery for, presumably, having so many more calories than a megalager.

Tap at Brouwers. Dark amber color with a nice head. Aroma is dark toast. Flavor is dark and toasty with nutty aspects with a pleasant mild NW hop finish. A better than average amber ale and highly drinkable.

On tap, Collins Pub, Seattle. Very Cloudy orange, with a surprisinly dark head. A big dark bread toast aroma. Smooth and dense at first, with more dark bread flavors. Nice subtle hop bite at the finish.

Bottle from Safeway, Port Angeles; nose of grainy caramel, a little piney hoppiness with a yeasty note; orange-amber with a big beige head that laces the glass; flavor has caramel malt, hop bitterness, and some citrus; a little hops in the finish. Pretty good amber.

22oz Bomber - Gravity Beer Market - Olympia, WA
Aroma – Nice Malty aroma with a good use of hops.
Appearance – Dark amber in color, Nice head and clear.
Flavor – A good malty flavor felt a tad watery also. Seemed all the beers where like this. Had a nice flavor never less with some decent hops.
Palate – Nice Mouthfeel, good texture with a dry finish.
Overall – This was a good amber ale light to drink the water issue seems to be through out all there beers. Maybe set up funny. But they need to fix it. Decent at then end.

On tap at some place in Port Angeles, WA. Color was a dark caramel/amber. Aroma of chewy caramel and fruit, with a hint of flowers. Flavor was florally and fruity. Some bread in there as well. Pretty good tasting.
