Commercial Description:
Maybe you're not in the mood for a raspberry flavored, low carb, ice, dry maltsicle, and you certainly aren't in the mood for a Rotgutzen. You are, however, always in the mood for a Pinstripe. Brewed with caramel malts and Liberty hops, the Pinstripe has a slight fruity finish and dance.

Bottled. Hoppy for a red, nice bitter bite and finish, on top of traditional red malts. Good if in a mood for something bitter. I like it.

A medium orange colored body with a light khaki colored head. The aroma had some sweet walnuts and some vanilla. There is a bit of ginger bread in here. Interesting aroma. The taste is a bit of ginger bread with some light pancakes. There is a light peanut finish. The body is thin and a it is easy drinking. A little sharp on the carbonation.

Loose bottle from Sam’s Wines, Downers Grove, Bottled Dec. 05. Pours a bi-i-i-t too much head into a narrow glass. Sweet malty smell underneath as it settles. Head does assume interesting patterns as I pour a little more in. Beer itself looks rather pale even as ambers go. Taste, though, comes across a bit thin and watery. Any expectation of malt I had were let down here. Something of grape or apple juice comes out, perhaps it finished a bit dry. Hop bitterness is nondescript.

Darker amber with a small head and stringy lace. Caramel nose with a some bitter and citrus notes. Good dose of caramel malts in the flavor with some bitter hops. Malty finish.

12 oz bottle. Clear orange color with thin white head. Not much nose other than a combination of subdued malt and sprucy hops. Aroma belies the flavor, which is a pleasantly well balanced ensemble of malty caramel and fruity, flowery hops. Pretty good.

Draught at Beer on the Pier Chicago. Malt liquor aroma. Slightly hazy light amber with a a good-sized off-white head. Attractive. Doughy malt flavor that is pretty thin. Fairly non-descript beer; very average.

A tannish amber color with medium froth and ample residual effers. It’s a very tasty brew of medium nectar weight. Nothing really definable other than it’s smooth and flavorful drinkability. Crisp and refreshing. No skunkiness at all. Overall; a good everyday brew.

Bring tattooed with skulls and Grim Reapers, I love the labels SKA uses. The beer inside, however, isn’t always as agreeable. This poured amber with a small white head and lots of bubbles. The aroma was somewhat sweet, fruity, mild hops. Had a nice bitterness to it but wasn’t anything special.
