Wolaver's "Pat Leavy's" - All American Ale Review

Type: Organic Amber Ale

ABV: ?

Sight: Golden brown with lighter tones toward the bottom. Barely any head comes through from the pour. Small lacing on the surface is white.

Aroma: Plentiful hoppy nose with a light malt backbone. No spiciness or alcohol characters come through to tingle.

Taste: Lotsa bitter bite from the major organic hop presence. There is a dry element in the front that i dig also. The malt is an undertone but does a good job of chilling things out to a decent balance. In the end you get a slight bite of alcohol on the throat.

Overall: A nice hop body that makes the malt an afterthought. The mouthfeel is light and crisp. Aftertaste is slightly sour on the corners of the tongue. For most a one an done, but for others it could be drank in moderation nicely.

Score: 7.8/10
