Ballast Point Calico Amber Ale

Got some more samples, including this guy that I first tried from a 22 ounce bomber received in a trade from a Californian. Let's take a lot at those notes from December, 2003:


Clear and perfectly amber appearance, with a nice 1/4" head of creamy foam above.

Aroma: sweet, rich, & malty, copper-toned, with minor hops.

Taste: warm, rich in flavor, yet smooth, with high drinkability.

Very mellow, but, again, never quits on the fine taste. An excellent session ale, this 22 oz. bomber went down very happily indeed.

Guess what? I still like it.
