Ruby Mountain Angel Creek Amber Ale

Brewed by Ruby Mountain Brewing Company
Style: Amber Ale
Clover Valley, Nevada USA

I happened across this beer after a very long, hot drive across the Nevada desert in of all places the Red Lion Inn in Winnemucca, virtually the last place I would have expected such a good beer. I ordered a second almost immediately after opening the first. My ratings may have been influenced by the hot weather, but the six packs I pick up in Winnemucca whenever I pass through taste just as good at home in CA!

There's a caramel nose here on a dark copper beer with a firm head. Despite the average amber flavors, this is a nice beer and the bitter finish rescues it from mediocrity.

defintely a good tasting beer. nice color. good aftertaste.

With the more copper color and murky body, this Amber carried a mellow and pleasant flavor with definite hop character. Though leaving some to be desired for an Amber, this brew did not disappoint.

on draft: this is one of the latter beers i had at the festival, so my judging may be a little askew. this one poured typical coper color with a tan bubbly head and slight hoppy nose. remember it being good and not offensive. more hops here then i expected. which is always a good thing. ill try it again and rerate if i was way off.

Bottle pours a slightly hazy redish amber witha thin beige head andc traces of lacing. Medium malt aroma with a little more hops than I expected. Slightly bitter woody malt flavor. Bitter trailer. Nice full body. Not bad. Thanks again to Buckeyeboy

Bottle: Light copper and orange in color, large white head. Nose is mostly floral and citrus hops with a little sweetness. Taste is floral and citrus hops and a ever so little caramel malt presence. Closer to an American Pale than amber in style, not too shabby in taste.

Copper/amber color with light sticky head & lacing. The aroma is maty with toffee, nuts & some caramel/butterscotch, maybe a little diactyl. Light but noticable hops. The flavor has a good body & balance to hold up the sweet/hops. Finishes a bit on the bitter side with a lasting tail. Not too bad, very decent amber.
