"A rich malt body with mild hop characteristic adds complex fruitiness and a pronounced bitterness to this deep amber ale. Batch brewed using traditional methods and cold filtered to give a smooth, crisp finish"
Well it initially smells fantastic, and the initial taste is somewhat pleasing. However, it's fleeting and, for me, has that "pale ale" after burn which that I tend to shy away from. Not to say that it isn't a pleasant beer, but I'd be wary of going back for more.
They've also changed the bottle shape on this, and the two that I picked up have different labels and lids. Looking at this review. I'm a bit miffed that I didn't get the unique unique bottle and not the pint size one that I have that, although the one I have is very reminiscent of a wine bottle in shape.
I've struggled to find a "good" review for this beer, and that in itself was odd, although to be fair it is a local beer for local people so the quantity of reviews is smaller than usual, however they're all pretty much a much, this isn't a winner.
You'll not again that I learnt a bit from the last debacle of being artistic with the tilted glass with a cunningly lit beer, only just though, nearly ended badly and expensively.
Thanks to the people at New World in Albany who have a rather fine range of beers to choose from.
