Town Hall City Glow Amber Ale

Town Hall just wrapped up their annual Barrel Week yesterday. I made it there three times, and brought home some growlers, which I'll be reviewing shortly. But, first let's have an amber ale. Why that, when so many of you may be anxious to hear how the barrel aged beers were? Because, it's early in the day, and I would rather drink an amber ale than a big ol' barrel aged boozer. That's why. And so:

Minneapolis Town Hall Brewery City Glow Amber Ale. 5.9% ABV.

Crystal clear, amber-hued, slim white head above.

In the nose: clean, malt-forward, some sweetness, herbal, moderate to very light hopping.

In the mouth: Little bit of hops up front. After that, crisp, clean, smooth and easy drinking. It's a malty one, but maybe a little too easy. Could use a bit more flavor for me, though I can see what they're going for with this one. And they're ain't nothing wrong with it.


English Amber Ale brewed with English Pale malt, English crystal malts, and American wheat malts. Hopped with Centennial.
