The Innkeeper Tasting Notes

As promised, I am finally getting around to the tasting notes of my second batch of beer -- The Innkeeper! Just like last time, I'll separate the notes into sections. The sections will be Appearance, Smell, Taste, Mouthfeel, and overall Drinkability. So, let's get started!

A: Light Amber color. About the shade of a nice light honey. Pours with a nice thick white head that leaves some beautiful lacing on the glass. It looks beautiful!

S: Delicious! I can't wait to drink this beer. It has a very slight hop smell to it, but it's nowhere near an IPA or American Pale Ale. I can also detect a bit of some banana phenols, almost like you would get in a Hefeweizen, although this is much much less pronounced.

T: It's crisp, dry, with mineral undertones. It's slightly bready, but there's a nice hop backbone. Just like in the smell, the hops are not super-pronounced. It's more of a crisp bitterness that is very refreshing.

M: There's a nice carbonated prickle to this beer. I really like it. It's definitely very crisp and refreshing, mainly, I think, due to its low gravity.

D: I really like this beer! This is one of those sit-on-the-front-porch-in-a-rocking-chair-while-the-breeze-wafts-by sort of beers. Perfect for this change of the season. The lower gravity of this beer means you can drink 3 or 4 and still be able to function. As I mentioned earlier, you'll be lucky to get one of these since I'm probably going to be selfish and keep them all for myself!

In the end, this is seriously one of the best beers I've ever had. And no, that's not just because I brewed it. I wish we could get the beer that this is modeled after (Timothy Taylor's Landlord) here in the US, but unfortunately it's only for the lucky folks in the UK.

Soon I'll be able to try out the Waldo Lake Amber Ale! And I promise to post about how that goes as well! Until then, Misdemeanor OUT!
