This American Amber Ale presents an irreverent, modern twist on the style, featuring a signature haze and the unique addition of dates. The sensory profile is defined by a lush interplay between rich caramel malts and vibrant, tropical New World hop notes. The dates contribute a nuanced layer of dried fruit sweetness—reminiscent of raisins and dark honey—which complements the toasted malt backbone. It balances a moderate bitterness with a luscious, fruity depth, resulting in a complex yet approachable palate. The finish remains smooth, where the tropical character meets a lingering, jammy date character, creating a rich and grateful mouth-coating experience.
Appearance.Deep copper to mahogany color with a distinct, persistent haze. Features a moderately large, creamy off-white head with good retention and light lacing.
Aroma.High intensity; prominent tropical fruit hop character alongside rich, dark dried fruit notes of dates and raisins. Moderate caramel and bready maltiness support the fruit profile without overpowering it.
Taste.Initial malty sweetness led by caramel and toasted biscuit flavors. Strong mid-palate presence of sweet dates and dark honey, followed by tropical hop flavors of stone fruit. Moderate bitterness provides balance against the fruit-forward sweetness. The finish is medium-full and slightly sweet, with lingering notes of dark fruit and resin.
Mouthfeel.Medium-full body with a smooth, almost creamy texture likely enhanced by the dates and haze. Moderate carbonation provides a gentle lift. Very low alcohol warmth consistent with its strength.
