Heatwave Amber Ale
La Quinta Brewing Co.

I am trying this beer off the tapper at the old Town location as part of a four sample flight. It poured a clear amber with off white ring head that is not leaving much lace. The scent had subtle malt notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with bright light caramel malt base with bitter citrus peel spice finishing hop presence. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall it is a good beer.

Picked up a pint from Jenson’s . Pours mostly clear light copper color with an khaki head. Smell is floral ,malty and hoppy . Taste has citrus hops malts caramel ,dark fruits and pale malts . mouth feel sweet fruity and hoppy,

 

 

Sampled at the taproom in Old Town, LaQuinta. Poured from the tap into a 5 ounce glass as part of a flight. Decent head and deep amber in color. Not much on the nose. First sip revealed a lightness to it; was expecting a stronger ale taste. Not the strongest beer in their lineup.
