Did you know that, if you happen to be on a return-trip to Portland after visiting, say, Astoria (or any other Northern-Oregon coastal town, really), that stopping in lovely Saint Helens, Oregon for a visit to Captured by Porches would not be a good idea? No? Heed my warning, dear traveller, for the CbP property at 40 Cowlitz #B that comes up on your Google Maps search for nearby breweries is a lie! Or, rather, it's an empty storefront (on Sundays, at least) designated, as far as we could tell, only for brewing. Bummer. Pro tip: research, first! Google Maps: Not To Be Trusted. Anyway, on to this bottle with an old lady on the label: Emma Amber Ale! This beer is good. It pours dark, dark copper with a small bit of soft head which disappears almost immediately. Smells sweet and malty. Taste is the same -- sweet, up-front malts with a nice, smooth mouthfeel and a bit of a rye bite towards the end. This beer is heavier than I expected, which is what I think makes it so damn tasty -- it's smooth, and it's somewhat heavy, but it's a red. A smooth, heavy red with up-front malts. Yup. What's that written on the side of the bottle? Right on. Cheers, Emma.
