EVL Amber Ale
Ellicottville Brewing Co.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Presentation: It was poured into a notched pint glass from the tap at the Ellicottville Brew Pub's Fredonia Location.

Appearance: The body had a good deep amber colored body (duh) with good clarity and some visible carbonation. It carries a small one finger head on top which is just off white in color. It hangs on till about the half way point and makes some nice lace rings near the top of the glass. Buy the end it manages only a thin film.

Smell: There are decent citrus and piney hop notes with some hints of sweet malt underneath.

Taste/Palate: It starts on a mildly sweet malty base with an equal balance of citrusy and mellow piney hops quickly moving in. The hops add a good balance of bitterness and then fade off quickly in the finish. It has an easy drinking soft medium body and smooth texture.

Notes: This for me this was a good all around beer. It's not a "wow" beer but it is one that I could drink a few of and be quite happy.

Presented at the pub a deep copper brew with minimal head
Smell was light pine and citrus hoppiness
Taste was Pine and orange citrus hops
mouthfeel was light to medium
Drinkability this was a very easy to drink staple kind of beer definitely something you could have a few of and be good to go
This was like you took the Two Brother Pale ale and bumped everything up a few notches both were good but this is what I would prefer

Pours a dark amber color with a one finger head and some lacing. The smell is of roasted malts mainly caramel and sweet malt. The taste is very similiar there is a sweet and caramel malt taste which is the backbone, there is a very very faint hop presence over the top. The mouthfeel is moderate carbonation. Overall this is a very drinkable beer, it does have a nice flavor not typically seen in this style.
