As mentioned this morning, this is an amber ale made with chestnut flour.
Pours clear amber, with a white head.
Aroma is light malt, no hops, and yes, a hint of roast chestnut. I only know that because I had chestnuts for the first time last Saturday.
Flavor is lightly malty and very clean. Quite lager-like, actually. Very balanced, not too sweet.
Finish is crisp, with an initial smoothness followed by a cleansing bitterness and then after a short wait, some lingering but light astringency.
A nice simple beer that's a refreshing change from some of the huge holiday Ales in the calendar.
