Broadhead Brewing Company Grindstone Amber Ale at 5% ABV | 25 IBU (C$2.90 Gift – thanks, Kath M!, 473 ml, bottle date 23-Aug-2016, acquired 14-Dec-2016, reviewed 13-Feb-2017)
Appearance: hazy pale amber with one finger of medium-dense ivory head diminishing gradually to a thin skim, minimal lacing. (3/5) Aroma: grainy caramel, bready, floral. (5/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate-low bitter. (5/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, off-dry bitter and lightly spicy finish. (3/5)
It’s really, really hard from to get excited about an amber – and this doesn’t really change my opinion much. Malt-forward, with some floral hoppy character, but not much depth or complexity. (11/20)
5.5/10 #ryansbooze ryansbooze.com
