Amber Fusion

Henderson X Palm

Henderson Brewing Co.

5.5% Alcohol

We have established that Henderson’s best is Henderson’s Best, or to put it another way, Henderson’s Best is Henderson’s best. But what happens when you have a fusion of Henderson’s Best amber ale with Palm’s best Belgian amber? You get what Henderson calls a double fusion amber ale. Amber on Amber sounds like a porn movie to me, let’s see if this brew gets an over 18 rating too.

And what’s PⱯLM all about with the upside-down A? Glad you asked. It turns out the symbol Ɐ is used to represent universal quantification in predicate logic. Glad we got that cleared up. In non-geek speak it is typically read as “for all”. As in the Three Musketeers “All for one and one Ɐ.” Or a big bar fight is a “Free Ɐ”. Or if you wear your hat into the Legion then you’re buying “Beer Ɐ”. This brew is supposed to be a fusion, not a con-fusion . Time to  right side this review and get back to beer business.

This Belgian-style amber on amber ale pours a deep amber for my viewing pleasure, with a slim trim head Ɐ to see. A mild malt aroma, not as much caramel toffee as a full-fledged amber. A nice very mild malt caramel body, watery and easy drinking. Nutty notes with almost no hops. A smooth almost flat finish. It’s an amber light. Not Henderson’s Best or Henderson’s best but a nice light amber. A sessionable amber, easy drinking with a subdued flavour.

Final Rating: A Rating of 15 out of 20 but Still Restricted to 18 and Over
