Pyramid Broken Rake

Brewed by Pyramid Breweries
Style: Amber Ale
Portland, Oregon USA

12 oz bottle via Roth’s. Pours a dark copper with an average beige head. Nose is toasty/biscuity malts. Taste starts with some subtle toastiness, a little nuttiness, some sweet malts, and some subtle floral hops. Body is light, carbonation moderate. A nice easy drinking session beer.

pretty good amber. malt is very front and center, not much hop presence. definitely a fall beer. bottle: nob hill foods, mountain view, ca

On tap Seattle Taproom (airport) Pours out a amber topped with a white head. Aroma of malt and a little hop. Tast is about the same. Nothing to great.

Bottle...Deep red bottom with an easy foaming white head. Watery, malt aroma. Smooth palate, mild on carbonation with flavors of caramel, barley-malt, and mild crisp hops. I’m not sure why I keep buying amber ales. They’re so popular so I keep expecting an Amber to bedazzle me, but they’re like the pale lager or ales.

I look forward to Pyramid’s seasonal beers every year. This one is another winner.Good hearty malt flavors and body. A nice amber color with a good head and lacing. A good tasty Autumn Ale.

orange-brown in color with a 1 finger size yellowing head. smell is grain, caramel, walnuts. taste is sweet and nutty at first, then the malt hits but not like, in your face, smooth, and a touch of bitter, leaves the mouth a bit sweet and dry, nice finish. one of the better ones from pyramid, who i normally don’t rate that high.

12oz Bottle
Copper in color with a thick hea.d This was a good deep rich malty flavored beer with a light amount of hops. I liked this beer it was a tad thicker for those cooler days. Nice drinking beer.

Poured a brown/orange with a terrific head. The nose is strong. There’s big malt aroma, scotch wiskey and carmel. The taste is less bold. The malt is there, but thin. Brown sugar is strong also.The end is of weak hops which throws the balance off. Better hop balance would have made this much better.
