Amber Ale
Bell's Brewery - Eccentric Café & General Store

The toasty taste hits the buds pretty quick. Nice mouth feel without being overly sweet. Nice almost burnt malt taste, yet not burnt. It has hops to hold up the malt and a tremendous balanced beer for the style. A real stable beer that has proved itself to be a standard. I have to get this more often.

 

This amber ale is well-rounded and tasty. You can taste both the sweet and toasted malts, there's a noted presence of hops, and a curious, almost Belgian-tasting hint on the edge. Add a nice mouthfeel and a pleasant light brown color. Excellent.

Relatively thin appearance, amber color (duh), lots of sentiment floating lazily about, minimal head

Aroma is malty but extremely faint. I had to get my nose wet to really smell it

Malty sweetness in the taste. Toffee, some caramel, a bit of booze in the finish

Superb mouthfeel

Overall it’s very drinkable, and pleasant, just unexceptional

On tap at WECO Beergarden.

Clear reddish orange, one finger fine white head, spotty lacing, surface continents and ring.
Malty aroma dominates, light pepper and caramel present.
Lightly sweet malt, caramel, ginger, brown bread flavors.
Good carbonation and light hoppy bite.
Crisp, with a good combination of flavors. More refined than many other Amber Ales. I’m always glad to see it on a tap list.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Enjoyed on tap from the source. Fresh as can be!

A legend in the glass.

It’s smooth with a surprisingly prominent hop presence. I found myself glad to revisit a classic.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Golden copper hue with an off white head that lingered around for a few minutes before fading. Pleasant aroma and taste. Easy drinking with smooth finish. Another good beer from Bells. Worthy of buying again.

Pours a classic red ale, a coppery, caramel colour. Flecks of yeast and unfiltered goodness stay suspended in my glass. Toasted caramel malt and gentle sweetness and a light bitterness on the nose, it follows tightly on the palate but the floral essence of the hops shine through. The malty notes are just right and the taste is subtle but very clean. It’s mildly restrained character make this an amber that is easily drinkable in these late summer days with any lager. Some of the heavier, maltier reds out there are much more complex but aren’t as crisp and refreshing when it hits 40/105F with the humidex. Pretty good beer!

 

 

 

Nucleated Pilsner

Look: Perfect Amber, caramel with red color. Off-white head, one finger in height. Quickly dissipates into a small ring and wisps.

Smell: Malty on the nose, with hints of caramel and vanilla. Toasty too.

Taste: Sweet first, developing into toasted malts, and caramel. Finishes with more malt and hoppy bitterness.

Feel: Gently carbonated, Smooth and has a velvet like texture in the mouth.

Overall: Its alright, not my favorite amber ale but its not terrible.

Taste:

 

 

Great hot weather ale. Very drinkable with all the right flavors going on.

This is a really nice Amber. It’s got a complex taste for an ale, but not too much. Very drinkable. Good deep summer beer.

 

 

 

Pours ,well amber in color. Nose is full of malt and barley as is the taste. Not over taxing on the palate. Very easy drinking beer.

 

 

 

It’s ur run of the mill amber ale but damn it’s so good. It’s not good or great but solid. Sometimes when you’re too adventurous you need a reminder of what solid feels like. This does that for you. Enjoy responsibly bc I sure as heck didn’t .
