Mouthfeel
is dry with a touch of bitterness on the palate. A touch thin.
Overall, a fairly decent tasting amber ale that has a good dry, malty, and somewhat hoppy profile of flavors. It comes across as a touch thin and a touch flat at times, but it's still a decent if not exceptional offering overall. After a few tastes, the flavor gets a bit muddled in the middle. It would be interesting to taste this one fresh.
My score: 86
