Beer Review: Declaration Ale

"Beer is Proof that God Loves Us and Wants Us to Be Happy" Ben Franklin

Peter Flom

Pour of Declaration Ale

Declaration Ale pours a clear copper color. It is quite translucent. I poured it down the side of a tumbler, and the result had a minimal, white head.

Aroma of Declaration Ale

Declaration Ale's aroma was mild, with hints of apple and caramel.

Taste of Declaration Ale

Like the aroma, there is some fruitiness; Declaration Ale is neither overly sweet nor bitter, but there is a pleasant sweetness to it. There are also some floral hints. I generally don't like sweet beers except for lambics, and Declaration Ale is not really sweet, but I would have preferred a bit more tartness or bitterness.

Mouthfeel of Declaration Ale

Declaration Ale has a pleasant but not overwhelming mouthfeel. It's a pleasant sensation, but not a powerful one.

Declaration Ale is 5.4% alcohol by volume and rates 28 international bittering units

The brewer of Declaration Ale is American Honor Beer Co., of Wilkes Barre, PA.

Summary

I like Declaration Ale. It's not something I'd go out of my way to buy, but it's certainly a pleasant drink.
