Dec 4, 2006 "Boldy hopped amber ale" seems accurate — so much so that this amber ale is similar to an American Pale Ale. Grapefruit and pine hop aroma along with floral hops and caramel. The sweet malts are quickly overtaken by the hops. Flavor of grapefruit and light caramel. Medium body. Slighty sticky. Medium finish. Good, but not the "perfect balance’ that’s advertised.

Nov 20, 2006 Serviceable but disappointing. Paid too much for it. Its particulars duly faded from the memory - never a good sign.

Oct 28, 2006 An excellent amber ale - hoppy, balanced malt, and a wonderful "pure" beer taste. Just an excellent brew!

Oct 21, 2006 Prohibition pours a nice strong amber color with hints or dark orange. The aroma is of pine and caramel malt. Good balanced tastes with plenty of malt behind the a pretty hopped up amber ale.

Oct 20, 2006 Speakeasy Prohibition Ale
12 oz bottle
Recent bottling, medium pour in an English pint glass.
Poured orange red with a small beige frothy mostly diminishing head with traces of lacing.
Smelt of strong caramel with light citrus.
Taste was upfront moderate sweet caramel with light roasted and nutty highlights and light grassy bitter hops followed by a moderate citrusy hop kick on a light dry bready malt with a long bitter finish. Mouthfeel was medium bodied, oily, lively carbonated wit hlight astringency.
Overall, an amber that flows nicely from rich caramel maltiness to bold citrusy hopiness. Finish is way too balanced towards hops though.
