Batch #2 Tasting #1

Amber Ale Tasting

So I'm pretty sure the bottles I've opened lately with no head have been my from my second batch. It seems for some reason some of them have been carbonating more than others. I'm guessing that the priming sugar didn't get mixed in too evenly. It doesn't seem to make that much sense, but it's the best I could come up with. A few of the bottles had real nice carbonation while some had almost none and some were just a so-so head.

Date: March 27th, 2008

Time Since Bottling: 2 weeks

Color: Fairly dark amber color.

Clarity: Slightly cloudy.

Aroma: Not too strong, more malty than hopy.

Head: Varies. Anywhere from a good amount of head to almost none at all.

Tasting Notes: As far as my tasting notes go, I like this one. It's not great or anything, but it goes down pretty smooth. There isn't too strong of a hop aroma or taste to it. I would probably use more or stronger hops next time, but not too much. It has a pretty malty flavor to it that I enjoy.
