Log Jam Amber
Northwest Brewhouse and Grill

Appearance – This is a very dark amber in color with a huge, monster head that showed great retention and laced the hell out of my pint glass.

Smell – This is a big ‘un. The hops are very prominent. They are mostly fruit, like citrus and grapefruit. The nice malt backbone is grainy and heavy. This is not a wimpy ale.

Taste – This one has some big flavors. The hops are very fruity and citrusy and there’s a stiff, tangy lemon zest to it. The grain is very big as well.

Mouthfeel – This one is a tad bigger than medium-bodied with good balance and a sharp sour tarty kind of snap right at the end. The malts are very smooth as they pass by the gums.

Drinkability – This is off of the style, that’s for sure. There are a lot of variations to the style though, so I won’t knock it too bad. I enjoyed drinking it, which I guess is the most important thing.
