Twisted Pine American Amber Ale

12oz bottle from a variety pack. Clear amber with a thin head. Citrusy hops with a malt background. Not bad, but nothing special.

Tap at brewery during GABF 2009.
Pours an average amber with an aroma of malt flakes. Flavor is malt meal. Watery mouthfeel. Blech.

Aroma: A crisp aroma with a citrusy character, some malts in the back ground. Appearance: Pours a hazy deep copper with a low white head. The head dissipated quickly, but leaves traces of head on the glass. The bubbles from the carbonation can been seem cascading towards the top of the glass. Flavor: The flavor is balanced towards the hops, as expected with an American Amber. The malts tend toward the biscuit flavors. Mouth feel: It has a medium body with a mild astringency on the side of the tongue. Overall Impression: It is not very interesting beer to drink. It’s solid beer to serve to the macro-beer drinkers who are transitioning towards the craft beers.

Crushed with Jakebra. Not terrible but not great. Yeah it’s one of those. Kinda smooth but there’s some definite dirt in the flavor. Ok.

(Bottle). Light amber/orange color. Small white head which dimishes quickly. Light hop aroma. Soft Carbonation. Malt flavor. FInish has hoppy and light alcohol taste.

My buddy brought one of these to the house, I was not impressed. It was really hazy with no head and an orange color. It had a pretty strong hop taste, but the whole thing was murky.

Draft at the brewpub. A hazy amber beer with a thick orangey head. The aroma is sweet malty with primary notes of caramel as well as lighter notes of spices. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel as well as lighter notes of hops, lending it notes of both grass and grapefruit, leading to a dry bitter finish.

Nutty sweet nose. Grainy deep orange color. nice malty sweetness with a solid bitterness backbone. Well carbonated, bright finish. Better than average Amber.
