Today I’m trying a North Carolina beer; Natty Greene’s Buckshot Amber Ale, by Natty Greene’s Brewing Company out of Greensboro, NC. The nose is yeasty and strong. The middle is toasty, and there is some light caramel in the finish. This is definitely malt forward, without any strong hop notes anywhere. It’s a fairly reasonable rendition of an amber ale.

I give it a 3.6 out of 5.
