Doheny & Nesbitt-Wicklow Wolf American Amber

Back at Doheny's again for another pint. This time I went on a Friday, and it was very packed, and I barely managed to find a seat tucked away in a corner of the pub.

This beer pours an orangish red with a 1 finger dense white head. There is a light fruity aroma on the beer followed by some maltiness. It has a bit of hop flavor before turning caramely in taste, but it never turns sweet because of the firm bitterness in this amber. It has a medium-light body that drinks fairly well. If you like a bitter amber ale this one is a good one to try, but if you tend to want them sweeter, you might not find this one to your liking. Personally, I thought this was pretty tasty, but by the end of this the bitterness was starting to get to me a little bit as I'm not to used to my amber ales having such a hop flavor and bite. That being said this is by no means an IPA in terms of bitterness, just more than your typical amber ale, which gives a nod to the American nature of the style.
