Weyerbacher House Ale

Brewed by Weyerbacher Brewing Co.
Style: Amber Ale
Easton, Pennsylvania USA

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark caramel-amber color with a huge cream colored head. The aroma was sweet and lightly spicy with a light apple undertone. The flavor was tart and tangy, bitter and had a moderate floral and fruity hop presence. Seemed more like an ESB to me.

A blah amber from one of my favorite brewers. Pour was a nice deep amber but no head. Aroma was of hops and toffee with caramel in and out. Taste was sticky and caramelly with a nice hop undertone in the aftertaste. This just doesn’t have the bite of a good amber. Weyerbacher is 1 for 2 tonight.

Bottle. Has the color of a slightly tarnished penny... a one finger head that dies almost immediately. Aromas are kind of a honey/malt sweetness with just a little bit of a hops presence. Flavor is fairly malt heavy... a big toffee/caramel punch that really just sits there and doesn’t develop. You might be able to argue for some subtle nut-flavored undercurrents and a little bit of a hops spicing near the tail end, but this is mostly just a malt beer.

Amber color with a light malty aroma. Flavor is a light honey-malt, lightly hopped amber that is unremarkable. Why does Weyerbacher make such mediocre beers when they make anything with less than 8% abv?

this beer was pretty bad. It had a sour taste and really didn’t impress me in any way at all. Worst rating I’ll give for the otherwise good brewer

Good malty aroma, sweet with molasses and brown sugar. Roasted grain and bit of toffee. Mild neutral fruity hops. Caramel brown clear with off-white foamy lacing head. Medium watery body with medium carbonation. Starts with mild sweet roasted grains, malty. Light brown sugar. Mild acidity and dry nutty bitterness. Medium hoppiness, light fruity character. Finishes with medium bitterness and a chalky after. Nice solid ale, not big and not watery.

Obviously filtered, near lifeless pour were it not for also obvious force carbonation. Clear copper body with light lacing and a slowly diminishing off-white head. Heavily toasted grains in the aroma, followed closely by light caramel and vegetal notes. The flavor is bland, highly sweet and prickly with scorched malt. Bitterness is mild, acidity mild to medium. The finish is acrid and vegetal, caramel and breadines lingering. Mouthfeel is watery, fizzy and bland.

Pretty reasonable brew. not the super quality that other weyerbachers have, but it is decent. tastes very much like an esb, has a bit of an earthy hop presence, good body.
