First sip is pretty good. The tartness of the hops is noticeable before the sweet malt cuts it down. The sip is actually a darn good one. The finish end with that sweet taste, and this definitely has more character than a lot of the ambers I've had. Specifically, I'm thinking of Killian's Irish Red. Still, the proper taste comes from a proper draught.
A proper gulp leads to a very mild start followed by less hops than I expected followed by the sweetness of the malt with a tangy afterglow of hops. The overall effect maintains my experience with ambers in that it is a very mild beer in general. I could see kicking back a few of these - especially with some starchy foods (usual bar fare, after all). It's definitely quaffable. I'm pretty happy with how this turned out.
4.25/5
