Inclusion Amber
Grabbed a pint ($2 on Tuesday) at the brewpub. A: A filtered beer, warm amber color with a small creamy white head (pour was nearly to the rim of the glass). Faint lingering film. Looks good. S: Very mild smell...a sweet caramel malt is what is being hinted at. T: Flavor lacks any sort of punch - as mild as the smell. Maltiness and even hops seem really subdued, resulting in a weaker overall flavor. It's not a bad flavor, just so tame. M: There are some lingering sugary malt and a slight bitter hop finish, which give the beer a pleasant mouthfeel. Crisp and clean. D: This beer is drinkable, yes. It's light and refreshing - however the character is so timid. I really hope the brewers are able to tinker with the recipe and add something to the mix that it's presently lacking for me. As this is a new beer from a (relatively) new brewery, I'd like to give it another try in the future.
