Keweenaw Red Jacket Amber Ale
South Range, MI
Unknown ABV
(Note: BA calls this an American Amber, but the can refers to itself as an "Octoberfest-style ale.)
Appearance: Hazy brown/orange body with slight yellow tinge at the bottom. Thick brownish head that dissipates to soapscum quickly. 4.0/5
Smell: Rich, malty, nutty. Quite dry. Very strong grains. 4.5/5
Taste: Sweet nutty grains on the front-end, with a bit of syrup on the finish. Some nice bitter hops, as well, and a dry aftertaste. Kind of a weird amalgam of styles, but somehow it works. Very much more like an Octoberfest than an Amber, so take that for what you will. 4.0/5
Mouthfeel: Thicker than anticipated, very low carbonation, with no particular hop bite. Smooth but a bit thick. 3.5/5
Drinkability: I'm tempted to pound these straight from the can. A nice beer, very good at what it does. 4.0/5
Overall: 4.05/5
