Pint sized bottle poured into a nonic. Lot#03-10-11. Thanks to AleLovinRuskie for this one! (A)- Pours a fairly dark burnt sienna color. Produced a huge frothy and fluffy tan colored head. Great retention behing it that left lots of lacing in its wake. (S)- A dry hoppy blast up front. Very very dry actually with some hoppy citrus and caramel malts. (T)- A better balance than the smell foretold. A nice nutty/caramel richness with an even mellower citrus hop character. Still dry, but richer and maltier. (M)- A great carbonation level and balance. Rich and malty, yet dry and citrus-like hop aspect. Mild bitterness, almost becomes earthy as it warms. (D)- A solid to great american amber. Malty and rich with an assertive yet balanced hop profile.
