Speakeasy Prohibition Ale

Brewed by Speakeasy Ales and Lagers
Style: Amber Ale
San Francisco, California USA

Draught. Pours slightly hazy dark amber with a moderate off-white head. Aroma is a nice mixture of caramel malt and citrus hops. Flavor is likewise. Sticky mouthfeel. Not a whole lot to describe, but it’s a tasty and well-done hopped-up amber.

12 oz bottle poured into a pint glass. Despite a healthy pour, there’s no more than a half finger of tan head atop this hazy rusty umber colored beer. Not much retention or lacing either. Aroma is of grapefruity hops and caramel malt. Taste starts out sweet and malty with an obvious caramel note that is quickly interrupted by sharp grapefruit hops. The finish is both maple syrupy and bitter from hops. Sticky mouthfeel, high carbonation. Easy to drink.

Pours a nice clear copper-amber color with a good foamy white head. Sweet aromas of spice and citrus and some definite hops. Good flavor, with some caramel and malt. Interesting.

Bottle, courtesy riversideAK. Pours a clear copper color. Wet lacing, and a nice frothy white head. Decent spotty lacing. Hoppy aromas. Very hoppy, in fact. Pine, honey, and some distant caramel. Soft honey flavor, with caramel, and some subdued malt flavor. Really hoppy. Not too balanced, and not very easy to drink; not a great sign for an amber at 6.1%. On its own though it’s good.

freakin AMAZING! i don’t know how to describe it, i’m speechless after having this beer. amber in color, smells amazing, would use it as an air freshner

12oz bottle. pours out deep reddish brown, with almost no head. sharp spicy lemon hops. slighty sweet at first then abruptly goes to weird hoppy redwood board taste...which is KINDA interesting oddly. it makes me want to build a deck in Northern California....

Bottle. Poured a cloudy red body with thin head. aroma is sweet malt, caramel, light hops. Flavor is malty, caramel and citrus hops with an odd metallic taste. Some vegatable.

12 oz bottle. Pours hazy rust color with big off-white head. The aroma has distinct citric hops and pine resin, behind which there is some sweet caramel and light toast. The flavor is seriously toasty, combatting the citric hops and a fruity melon note. It finishes with a slightly piney, rather tannic wood note that lingers for just a second. Not what I was expecting... kind of a pleasant surprise, really.
