Crooked Antler Spiced Ale
Amherst Brewing

I had this drink at ABC. When brought over it had a nice, murky appearance for a golden ale. However, the aroma was way too light. Their was a faint smell of spice for the season, but this was definitely a disappointment to the senses. It had a bit stronger spice taste but it remained an incredibly light beverage. It just might be my tastes, but this was just too light, though its carbonation was decent. If your at ABC, have something better, especially for their seasonals.

Refillable growler purchased at the brewery, filled under counter-pressure, according to the person I spoke with.

First imperial pint glass pours with a 3/4" eggshell head, which showed some staying power, over this slightly orangey amber brew. Minimal lacing, what is present consists of little islands of foam here and there. Aroma consists of pumpkin and warm spices over a bready malt. The taste fits the nose to a "T", and ends with a slightly fruity tinge. Mouthfeel is great, not falling victim to excesses in sweetness or spicing, like some winter warmers are prone to. Drinkability excels for the style. Give it a try!
