Ashland Amber
Pouring at room temp into a pint glass. Just got this from my buddy Ragingbull in a trade. Pours a bright clear copper hue with fluffy eggshell white head of 2 cm foaming up. Fades at a steady pace leaving some large lattice on the glass and creating some large craters in the foam. Relatively quickly gets to a sturdy surface layer. Aroma is some grainy malt and hints of corn husk and caramel with some grassy hops and just a hint of pine sap. First sip reveals an average body with very mild, smooth, rolling carbonation. Texture is soft and silky on each sip.The beer really caresses my palate. The flavor is as nose advertises with some grainy malt going to caramel. Then come the hops, grassy and pine again come into play and bitter up my mouth a little, but actually give back to a husky grainy finish. No hint of ABV which is good since the can says 5.6 and I shouldnt really be able to get that anywhere. A nice easy drinking session beer in a can. I like it!
