There is good lacing and an adequate level of carbonation. The aroma is a bit thin with only a marginal amount of caramelly maltiness. The flavor is lightly malty with some brown sugar and a light amount of citrusy hops. There is also a lightly toastiness to it as well that reminds me of dried leaves in the Fall and a faint pineapple-like essence. The finish is slighty dry. This beer has a solid mouthfull and a medium-body. It is very smooth and really does fit the season nicely. This Amber Ale is definitely better than average and is even fairly sessionable. However, I would have liked more of the German Smoked Malt supposedly in the recipe to come through in the delivery...
12 fl. oz. bottle (5.9% Alc. by Vol.; Bottled 082708) from Bigg’s Hypermarket in Harrison, Ohio. Rating #260 for this beer...
