Beer Name: Boont Amber Ale

Country of Origin: United States

Recommended by: Spencer the Scruffy Beer Kid

Price comparison: About the same as everyday beer.

Alcohol percentage by volume: 5.8%

Cute bottle/label? Standard twelve-ounce brown glass; the label depicts a clear mountain stream tableau with an antlered bear that reminds me of a jackalope.

Appearance: Deep rust-red with a tan head and sheets of lace left on the glass.

Scent: Strong floral and grapefruitlike hops, with an almost piney aroma involved as well.

Flavor: A hodgepodge of citrus, flowers, hops, rosemary, a bit of malt and rum caramel, with a bit of yeast in the finish.

Impressions: Very drinkable indeed. More than one is in order, but more than one is not a problem. You could have this by itself, in moderation, or drink lots of it with heavy thirst-inducing foods.

Will I buy this beer again? I'm there. Bring it.
