Sierra Blanca Roswell Alien Amber Ale

Brewed by Sierra Blanca Brewing Co
Style: Amber Ale
Moriarty, New Mexico USA

12 oz bottle. Pours a dark amber with minimal to no head. Very little carbonation visible. Pretty foul grainy aroma with some caramel sweetness and toasted notes. Flavor seems to be pretty oxidized, I checked the bottle for a date, but all I could find was a code. Beyond that, what I could taste was fairly sweet and unremarkable. Mouthfeel is thin with minimal carbonation. I’m hoping this is just a little old, because it’s clearly not a good beer. Drank about 3-4 ounces and drain poured the rest.

Hazy orange-brown body, thin off-white head. Toasty aroma, a touch of sweetness, a bit corny with a hint of cardboard. Thin, light body, with toast, touches of dark fruit, and grassy hops. A bit leafy. Rather nondescript, light, and boring, but the gimmick’s the point here. Acquired via a White Elephant exchange at MrFacto’s Milwaukee holiday tasting, from DenverLogan.

Pour is amber with a thin white head...smell is sweet and toasty...taste is sweet up front turning lightly bitter toward the back...

(Bottle, courtesy of DenverLogan) Pours a clear amber body with a thin off-white head. Aroma of caramel malt. Flavor of mild hops and caramel.

Bottle. All the usual maltiness, nutiness, and fizziness associated with an amber ale. Just your average amber ale with a cute label.

Amber pour, slight head. Nose is malty sweetness, chocolate malts. Slightly floral. Flavor is pretty smooth, a little metallic, and nutty with medium body, hints of chocolate malt. Crisp. A decent amber.

This is the most middle of the road beer I have ever had. A good color, but NO head at all. Not a bad smell, abut not really any smell. Not a bad flavor of sweetness, but not much flavor. It isn’t as thin on the palate as one would expect either. Very weird. I guess aliens do exist.

Pours an amber clear color with a quickly dissapearing pale head. The aroma is sweet and malty with with a caramel note, a hint of cinnamon, and perhaps a hint of hops. The taste is lightly sweet and finishes with a bit of malty, caramel-type nuttiness. This beer is pretty light, and quite quaffable. There is a light, spicy bitterness in the finish that serves as a pretty good foil for the the malt notes that dominate this beer. All in all a simple quaffable brew.
