Tommyknocker Ornery Amber

Brewed by Tommyknocker Brewery
Style: American Dark Lager
Idaho Springs, Colorado USA

Great red body, with a light white head. Hops and malts are very evident in the aroma and yet it’s very subtle in it’s quality. Good dark fruits in the taste, cherry’s and raisins. Very smooth ending.

Bottle poured a clear amber with a lasting amber head. Aromas of burnt carmel, toasted malt and earthiness. Palate was light bodied. Flavors of carmel, toasted malt and some nuttiness with a smooth, slightly bitter finish.

Market Square Liquors, Tallahassee, Fl. - 12 oz bottle. Pours a light copper with a medium thick sticky off-white head. Well, looks are about all it has going for it. Non-distinct aroma, faint hints of fresh lake water- not exciting. Flavor is lacking in many respects. Very bland and unventful. Trying hard to pick up anything at all and the closest approximation is stale bubble gum and some brief nuttiness. Mouthfeel is quite artificial, but slighlty sticky. Pass on this one if given the oppurtunity - glad this was part of a 12 pack sampler and I did not buy a whole six. Very boring example of a mundane style.

Tart fruit, dry caramel, somewhat musty, toasted malt aroma. Terrible label, attractive bronze coloring, white head. Underhopped, toasted malt, light astringency, somewhat tart over a cereal/grassy backdrop. Mouthfeel sometimes feels stocky, sometimes watery, finishes with an alcohol bitterness that lasts for a long time.

Muddy orange with a off white head. Aroma is skunk, rubber, and grain. Flavor is sour orange, but the orange is very slight. No real flavor in this one. Watery and shitty.

Clear amber color with a frothy white head. Malty aroma with a sweet malty flavor.

Pours an amber body and a wispy ivory head. The aroma and flavor is meager, but hints of some cereals, lemon grass, a small mention of toffee. The body is thin and un-inspirational… The packaging is fresh and fun… the beer is bland and mundane. Much like Yuengling Lager… but more costly.

Darker ruby reb, thin head, I liked this it had some sweetness, some roasted maltiness like all there beers did, and a hop bite, not my style but one wasn’t bad.
