Ornery Amber
I poured the bottle from a 12oz bottle into an imperial pint glass. There was a date on the bottle of November 2009, not sure if it was a bottling date or a "drink by" date. The beer was topped with a third of an inch, frothy white with good retention. The body of the beer was clear and, copper color, and medium to high carbonation. Good lacing on the glass. The aroma had a medium intensity with notes of floral hops and caramel malts. The taste had a medium intensity with notes of sour fruit, cereal grain, and light caramel. Not an impressive taste. The mouth feel of the beer had a light to medium body. The after taste had short duration. No noticeable alcohol. I was able to finish the sample, but I would not get this beer again. I am a fan of Tommyknocker beer, but I just did not enjoy this beer.
