Getting toward the end of my mixed case of Costco’s white-labeled Kirkland Signature ales brewed for them by the New York Brewing Company.  The amber ale is a bit of an odd one.  The nose has a hint of chocolate, the middle is slightly bitter, and the finish is slightly sweet.  It’s definitely titled toward the malty side.   The flavor profile improves as it warms, and it loses some of the bitterness in the middle. This is an ok beer, but overall, not my favorite in the case.
