I first purchased War of 1812 Amber Ale to bring to a gathering at a friend’s house. I needed a good “all purpose beer”. SHBC’s website describes War of 1812 Amber Ale as “a nutty malt flavor which is balanced by a citrus hop flavor and classic ale fruitiness”. I do agree with the nutty malt flavor, which definitely predominates. There are also hints of caramel. However, I did not detect any of the fruitiness they mentioned. Try it for yourself and you be the judge. This isn’t to say I didn’t enjoy War of 1812; it’s a quaffable beer but just doesn’t rise above the rest. What did stand out is that six packs are buy one get one free at Consumers Beverages. This influenced me in buying it the first time, but it was the drinkability that keeps me coming back.
