Oatmeal Amber
Again, another one of this John Harvard's beers that I was not too impressed with. The body was a nice, dark red color, but there was no head and very minimal lacing - it reminded me of a cider. The smell was minimal, with faint malts noticed but nothing too meaningful. The taste was pretty malty and a little bitter, which had me thinking that this beer was beginning to turn. As I drank more of it, the taste of alcohol became more noticeable. which kind of caught me off guard. The mouthfeel was a little on the thin side compared to other ales that I've had and what I was expecting. The overall drinkability is okay, but, like I said, later in the beer, higher levels of alcohol become more noticeable in the taste and I feel like that really took more away from a beer that already seemed like it was lacking something.
