The regular Grosch is mostly reviled mainly due to it being notoriously skunky by the time it reaches the States. I've never liked it. Many years ago I decided to try Grolsch Amber hoping for better results. It quickly became a favorite of mine. Let's see why.
The color is a beautiful copper/amber color. It has a nice head. Unfortunately, it has minimal aroma.
It has a nice malt sweetness up front. It has a nice acidic middle. A little tang. There is a very subtle citrus underneath. The back is of medium hops and also some more malt sweetness. It finishes very smoothly and cleanly living just a bit of hops on the tongue.
I've read a few critical reviews of Grolsch Amber. I think many missed the point. This is certainly not the best altbier you can get. But, it is a quality brew. It is a very tasty brew that is extremely drinkable. It would be great on a hot day at the barbecue or watching a game. I thoroughly enjoy and recommend Grolsch Amber.
