Squatters - Big Cottonwood Amber Ale

I was wrong. I found one more Squatters bottle lurking in my cellar. I totally did not know what to expect with this beer. I didn't even check to see the style before opening it.

This dry hopped American Amber manages to maintain an off-white half inch head. The alcohol comes in at a nice 5.75% ABV. The dry hop is a nice citrusy and floral Cascade. Color is a darkish tan to faint red.

Except for the color and maltiness, this beer sort of presents itself as a pale ale. And it does have a nice maltiness. I've written before how that doesn't seem achievable in a 4.0% ABV beer.

If you really get your nose in the glass and take a deep whiff, you can smell brown sugar and caramel.
