Taste Buds 130: We Hoist the Main Sail (Full Sail Amber Ale)

From the Brewer: In 1989, when we brewed our first batch of Full Sail Amber… not only was it the first Amber ale here in Beer Mecca (aka Oregon) — it was the first craft beer to go into a bottle. And two things became immediately apparent.  It wasn’t Regular and it sure as heck wasn’t Light.

The Beer Box Score

  • ABV:     5.5%
  • Flavor:    sweet, malty, medium-bodied ale with a spicy, floral hop finish

From Us:  Eric and Dusty raise the sail on Full Sail’s Amber Ale.  Find out if it makes it into a safe harbor or if it’s forced to walk the plank on this TGIF episode of Taste Buds!
