DRAFT REVIEW: Wapiti Amber Ale
RATING
88

Fresh-baked biscuit scents rule this burnt orange brew’s aroma while wafts of light caramel and grassy and orange hops play backup. On the tongue, the beer’s malts are more subdued than the aroma (and the style guidelines) suggests, but overall, the swallow’s cohesive: Lightly toasted malt notes stroked with caramel sweetness run down the middle, pressing up against orange-studded hops along the way. Faint grassy hops rise in the back before sturdy bitterness washes over the tongue.
