Eric Jourdan Northwest Amber Ale = 9/10
If I judged this beer at that BCJP contest, it would not score high. Ambers are not usually this hoppy. But for enjoyment and drinkability; it scores top marks. It delivers everything a hophead wants: juicy citrus, floral, hints of pine and an abundance of caramel malts. Each sip was full and creamy, yet satisfyingly astringent. The NW amber ale was hop forward with a massive mixture citrus hop punch, backed up with creamy and toasted bready malts. A long, smooth finish left a sweet citrus astringency.

That is a pretty cool label! Do you know if this distributed in the MN or WI areas at all?

Sorry Third Street only in BC, CDN. But if you wanna trade beers, a few could find their way to you
