Spiced amber ale brewed for GABS 2013 in Melbourne. Tried there on tap.

Looks fairly pale for an amber ale, more of a gold colour really, with a bit of haze. Head is cream-coloured, large bubbles but retains OK. Not bad.

Smells quite sweet with a decent malt base to it. Touch of fresh coriander leaf, with some hoppy notes of pink grapefruit, pear and lemon. Not a lot of spice but a very pleasant amber ale aroma with a twist.

Taste is similar, very amber ale base with a touch of English toffeed malt before hops take over midway. Grapefruit, lemon and whispers of dry white pepper on the back. Again not a huge amount of spice, but nice amber ale characters nonetheless.

Body is slightly thin but carbonation is not overdone so it goes down fine.

Not sure what the intention was here, but I'm not really feeling the 'spiced amber ale' vibe. It drinks as a pretty decent amber ale, but I would expect Mountain Goat to put together a decent amber ale anyway.
