Half Pints is quickly becoming my favorite brewery. Their Stir Stick Stout is definitely good stuff, and this refreshingly dry ale isn't far behind. It's high praise coming from a guy who thinks darker is better.
Bulldog Amber Ale pours a clear, well, amber color with a reasonable off-white head. The aroma is clean and complicated: wheat, fruit, floral something-or-other, vanilla, dry malt, and other things I can't place.
Taste, like the nose, is a crisp combination of hops, malt, caramel, earthiness. Pomaceous fruit offers a slight sweetness, while the hops provides medium bitterness. The finish is dry and crisp and lingers on the roof of your mouth, but not unpleasantly.
The Bottom Line: I've changed my go-to beer to this one. This stuff is awesomeness in a bottle.
The Rating: Good Stuff.
