33cl bottle, 5m after bb, forgot this bottle.
Medium gold, slightly hazy, surprising amount of foam that required quick action, almost a gusher. Hmm. What could be the cause of that?
Nose is quite timid (the age has of course stripped most of any hop aroma), caramelly tropical fruit, with a bit of edge from citrus. As the beer warms and opens up, British ale esters start to take over.
Taste does not match the initial expectations from the aroma. It definitely tastes of aging in wood, not really but that is the association I get from the aftertaste. Hops used very nicely to get this effect. Very British overall again.. the styling as "amber ale" (and I think all colour based names are a bad idea) leads one to expect something malty and caramel/toffee notes. There are some, but this is more like an overcarbonated strong bitter. The carbonation is either a failed idea or a mishap. It distracts from the subtle flavours and introduces tart notes. Again some of this fits expected effects of aging.
Otherwise a fine strong pale ale that suffers from the problems of being wrongly positioned and overcarbonated.
