Auric Amber

Lion's Mane

Full Beard Brewing Co

5% Alcohol

After a few exotic tastings of peppermint and vanilla it was a highly anticipated and welcome return to an amber. We all know that absence makes the heart grow fonder*, so I was looking forward to this Full Beard amber ale, and I was not disappointed!

A nice amber pour with a thin white head, minimal bubbles. A nice malt aroma, a full earthy malt taste with a bit of roast, is that a touch of caramel I detect? Very good. Great full flavour.  Smooth, no bitter, an easy drinking full flavour amber, the best of both worlds. This beer reminded me of how much I missed Amber. Great brew.

 

*Editor’s Comment: Lion’s Mane is a tribute to Auric of the Great White North, a comic book character created by Great White North Comics out of Timmins, the same Northern town that Full Beard calls home. ** Was it Toulouse Lautrec who said “absinthe makes the heart grow fonder”?

Reviewer’s Comment: Is that some kind of egghead editor joke?

Editor’s Comment: Pearls before swine.

Final Rating: Lion King 17 out of 20
