Impression: Binkert is a relatively new brewery which brews both traditional and new craft beer styles. This a very good interpretation of an American amber ale with a gorgeous head and citrusy nose. It’s dry and fruity with a lingering semi-bitter finish. It’s very slightly thin flavor-wise but it’s got the right mix of what’s there and for the price, understandable if American originals are fuller.
