This my second attempt at reviewing beer. Today's beer is Ballast Point Amber Ale Calico brewed by Ballast Point Brewing Company in San Diego, California. I picked up a 6 pack of this at the shoppette yesterday on the way to a BBQ. I didn't get to it then so this is the first time I'm trying it.
Appearance: It is an orange/copper colored beer, cloudy with light carbonation. Pouring generates a 1 inch head that dissipates quickly.
Aroma: It has a hoppy, lemony aroma.
Flavor: This is another that is heavy on the hops. Starts off lemony and finishes slightly bitter and spicy.
Mouthfeel: It appears to me to be a light bodied beer.
Overall Impression: When I first tasted it, I didn't care for it but the more sips I took, it kind of smoothed out. It's OK. It wouldn't be my first choice but it's drinkable. My grade...C.
This beer is worth a try. If you've tried this beer and disagree with me, let me know. If you think I got something wrong, let me know. I'd love to hear your thoughts. Contact Me You can also follow me on Twitter. @Domkizzle.
