Postmark Brewing Winter Red American Amber / Red Ale at 5.5% ABV (C$6.95 at Sundance Wine Market, 650 ml, no bottle date or best before)
Appearance: clear amber-brown with one fat finger of loose ivory head, OK retention and patchy lacing. (3/5) Aroma: caramel malt, herbal, stone fruit, cooked vegetables, light diacetyl. (5/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (5/10) Palate: medium-light body tending to watery, moderate carbonation, mildly bitter slightly astringent finish. (3/5)
Not a lot going on in a frankly boring style. I’m getting little to no spices, but there is a definite vegetal aroma, and even a hint of diacetyl. A bit of a surprising swing an a miss from a brewer whom I’ve found to be fairly solid. (11/20)
