Boont Amber Ale
Posted by simonpo on July 10, 2008
This is Boont Amber Ale, (actually, it’s the colour of burnished copper) which glints in the glass in an exceptionally inviting way, which smells great, which looks great, and which by golly – tastes great too.
According to the label notes, Boont Amber was the first ale produced at the Anderson Valley Brewing Company’s Boonville brewery. What a glorious day that must have been – this is a strong, sweetly malted beer with enough hops and bitterness to counterbalance the caramel sweetness that underlies the flavour. Not quite outstanding enough to make the first rank of our beer rating system, but pretty damn close, Boont does enough to make me think I’ll be paying another visit to the liquor store pretty soon to pick up some more.
