DuClaw Old Flame Ale

Name:  Old Flame Ale
Brewery:  DuClaw Brewing Company
Style:  Old Ale
Location:  Baltimore, Maryland
Alcohol:  7%

Quotes:  "This thing has no smell."  "I can smell it"  "No you can't"  "Just barely sniff"  "Ohhh.. oh yeah.. wait no, I still can't smell it"

Aroma:  3/10, I couldn't smell anything.  Others could sense light fruit.
Appearance:  3/5, Gold and maroonish
Taste:  6/10, Lightly bitter, bits of fruit and maybe caramel...?
Palate:  3/5, Medium body, crisp.  Felt like beer.
Overall:  15/30

In closing:  Certainly not an outstanding beer but very drinkable.  A good melding of flavors and perhaps worth trying it on tap instead of bottle.

Good for:  Those into artsy-font labels.
