You had me at Amber.
Time to check out Market conditions, take a break from my rants, and take a chance on a Trance. Market’s Trance lagered amber ale to be precise, and it sure sounds nice. The lady on the can has rainbows in her eyes, quite possibly from Al Jarreau proposing to her,* but more likely enthralled by the prospect of sampling this hypnotic Amber, and I can’t blame her. I guess Jarreau is OK, not my type, but I love me an Amber so I was eager to partake in this mesmerizing malter.
A beauty pour, semi-clear dark copper with a thin white topper. I know it’s not polite to stare, but this pour looked so damn good I couldn’t help it. Let’s see if it has the personality to match its good looks. The caramel aroma smells good enough to drink. The taste is a malt caramel lager sweet body with a slightly crisp ale finish, a nice sequence. As progress is made a touch of bitters shows up as the sweet backs off a bit. Too flavourful to really be smooth, but well balanced and very tasty.
An entrancing quaff, you had me at Amber.
