Commercial Description:
Manitou Amber is an English Style Ale made with five varieties of two-row British malts and Torefied Wheat. A smooth and full flavored ale with a hint of nuttiness from the English grains used in the recipe. Four varieties of hops from Yakima Valley, Washington, plus Yorkshire yeast give Manitou Brand Amber Ale its distinctive English flavor and traditional amber color.

Extra sour crap-oooooo-la. That’s the only description I’ll give because that’s the only one it deserves. At least the bottle makes a nice souvenir of our trip.

Bottle. Aroma-very fruity. Appearance, just average for amber ale. Flavor- Way too many hops and overly sour. Not just a little bit, either. Palate-overpowering taste of sour fruit with a bitter finish. Cannot recommend this.

Sourest amber ale I’ve tried, and I liked it. More flavor than most ambers as well.

Bottle. Pours a nice, nutty brown with an aroma of roasted peach and malt. Flavor is nutty, buttery, and a touch of chocolate with fruit preserves. Palate spreads the flavor. Not bad.

Bottle: Aroma is fruity with hints of banana and toffee. Pours a transparent amber with a small off-white head. Flavor is lightly sweet up front. Finishes with roasted grain and nuts and a flowery hops that doesn’t mesh well with the roastiness.
