I have several bags of opened hops with just a few ounces each in them. Wanting to get rid of these bags, I'll make a hoppy amber as I haven't had one in some time. Since I am entering a beer competition in September and have to drop off the beers at FH Steinbart, I will try out some artisan malts here.
Pours dark orange with 1.5 fingers of foam that goes nowhere. Aroma is melon and candy, maybe some yeast ester but only slight at that. Flavor is an unripe peach or melon through all phases. Body is pretty thin and soft, not much nucleation sharpness. Overall, the flavor is not what I care for. The flavor and aroma are dominated by Jarrylo hops, which I don't really care for now that I'm really tasting them. I'll say that the beer quality is fine, but the flavor and aroma are not my cup of tea. 3 stars.
