Ramble On
Starr Hill Brewery

 

Hazy orange, dense white head, great retention, thick bands of lace
Melon, berries, some mango and citrus aromas
Mango and melon flavors, a bit of doughy malt, just enough pithy bitterness to keep it from being too flabby
Mouthcoating, medium bodied, lower carbonation
Not a big fan of the juicy/hazy stuff, but this is decent

On draught at the brewery, a straw colored pour with a mediocre head, little lacing.
Aroma and flavor are pleasant. Citrus and hops are well balanced with the malt sweetness.
A nice AIPA.

 

A- God. Damn. This is one good looking beer. Two fingers of fluffy head, completely opaque orange color, lots of sediment enticingly floating around. Great lacing. This is fantastic looking.

Aroma is orange, orange, and more orange. Outside of that not much but the orange is nice.

Taste is a sharp citrus burst, tropical notes, orange, citrus. Not as fully developed as others in the category but pretty good.


Mouthfeel is pleasant and full bodied.

Overall this is a good beer. I grew up down the street from where the brewery is, and they’ve had some hits and misses but I’ve always found their beer to be enjoyable overall.

From the can, it pours a hazy amber color with a modest white head that slowly reduces to a small ring and leaves lacing. The nose gets citrus, followed by the mouth getting some citrus, along with some bitterness and it leaves behind some tackiness in the mouth.

 

It was good. Poured a hazy amber color lingering tan head. A smoky juicy taste.

Mildly hazy light amber hue with soft 1-finger off-white frothy head with good lacing. Aroma of bland fruitiness and light fruity yeast esters. Flavor is not very enjoyable with same bland and weak tropical fruit but with a sharp bite and more bitterness than the style should have. Yeast esters enhance the fruitiness lightly. Feel is also off with an astringency that is an off-characteristic. Ramble On is a miss for me.

 

Tasted strongly of bitter citrus and maybe pine? A little too much for me.

 

Again on 11/29/25

Good lace and electric yellow hue are a pretty good start. Nose is heavy on the herbal and medicinal hop. Initial blast of citrus is nice nut settles quickly. I like the finish but the texture is a tad watery. Really catches the style well, even if it is not the most stellar example.

 

 

 

12 oz can with a May 2021 canning date stamped on the bottom, served in a lager glass.
Appearance. The hazy amber colored body has a somewhat weak white head.
Both the aroma and the flavor are hop forward with floral and tropical fruit notes. Relatively harmonious with moderate bitterness for the style.
