jbean (110), Illinois, USA Dec 31, 2007 Draught at Brewpub. Clear amber with almost no head. aroma is swee with some citrusy hopst. Flavor is hoppy, maybe with some pine? something is just not right here, a little off balance. a lot of hops for an amber ale, and they don’t really seem to be in the right place. not terrible, but for some reason thunderhead beers are almost never what I expect, and in this case, that isn’t necessarily a good thing. Braudog (3733), Dayton, Ohio, USA Jun 26, 2005 Nebraska Craft Brewers Festival: Dark bronze with a decent head. Light caramel base and medium bitterness. Maybe a hint of apple? OK. SledgeJr (2957), Omaha, Nebraska, USA Apr 3, 2004 On tap at the brewpub. 4% ABV. Light amber in color. pH a little too much on the acidic side. slight metallic undertone. Not enough malt to my taste. Ale does not finish any different.
