Day 60 - Beer 60 Calico Amber Ale, Ballast Point Brewery Co. San Diego, California

After last night's disappointment I didn't know what to expect from an amber ale but I was pleasantly surprised.It poured an amber/copper colour with very good head and lots of sticky lacing. It had a citrus aroma with a hint of toffee/caramel in the background. As for the taste, nice malt flavours with lots of hops bitterness. This beer is however poorly named as an amber ale, it does not have the sweetness of an amber and it has far too many hops for its name. It is definitely more of an APA and is a very good one at that, this is one beer I'll certainly try again. 4.0 out of 5
