The Getaway Brewing Company

I got a 6pck of cans of this beer from my local Giant Eagle store. It poured a clear rich amber with thin white head that is leaving some lace. The scent had malt goodness notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with semi sweet caramel malt base with subtle musky grain and anise presence. The mouthfeel was medium in body and had good carbonation. Overall it is a solid beer.

12 ounce can, canned on 01/24/2024, thanks to Brutaltruth for this one! Label says brewed and canned at Seventh Son Brewing, not sure at some point if the Seventh Son/Getaway/Antiques on High beers should all be under one listing since it's the same ownership and that all of their bottled/canned offerings are brewed at Seventh Son as far as I know. Served in a pint glass, the beer pours a dark brownish/red color with about an inch light tan head that stuck around a little while. Small amount of lacing. I like the aroma, the brew smells like toasted and bready malt, toffee and some herbal hops. For the most part I think the taste is similar to the aroma, but there's also a bit of caramel noticeable too. Mouthfeel/body is medium, it's smooth and a bit coating with a moderate amount of carbonation. I liked this one overall, I'll see if I can find a fresher batch of this one soon!

 

Can dated 1/26/24. Sam Adams glass.

A: pours an extremely dark red, clear, with one finger of light beige head that fades to spotty islands of foam. Low carbonation with bits of suspended sediment.

S: definite floral hops and esters on the nose; smells very English; an expressive yeast. Maybe getting a little toffee sweetness or even butteryness.

T: Sweet, malty goodness. Light on that traditional Irish red flavor. It’s there, but it’s light, which works for me. Tastes a little like an American amber or even a thicker example of an ESB. Definite toasty malt character, with a lingering English hoppiness.

M: medium to full bodied. Lower carbonation, but not flat. Chewy. Pretty clean in the finish for an ale.

O: this is less toasty/Irish, and more hoppy than many examples of the style. Also a bit heftier. Right on with sweetness. Perhaps not perfectly to style, but for me I actually like that better. More like an ESB meets American amber ale. I like it better than the GLBC Conway’s, less than the Mt. Carmel Irish Red. Would buy again.
