This beer poured a reddish/amber color (no surprise). It's aroma and flavor had lots of butterscotch-like notes. In some ways, the flavor & nose were almost like a port. The mouthfeel was velvety, the finish clean.
This beer had a lot more flavor and character than I expected from an "amber ale". Unfortunately, I am not a big fan of butterscotch. For those who like that taste, this would be an enjoyable brew

Mar 8, 2010 Tap at Pap. Some light sweet roast and a touch of citrus hop. Not bad but nothing too fantastic.

Mar 3, 2010 Damn, I thought this was a lager, it was so nice and clean. Anyway... Nice doughy malts, cracker, light honey. Well attenuated, a touch of hops, light body. Nice session.

Feb 16, 2010 Amber brown color with no head, crystal clear, aroma is sweet barley, flavor is sweet barley... sort of bland and one dimensional, not a stand out... I really thought that a beer called ’chronic’ would have a big upfront columbus nose. False advertising if you ask me. It was a disappointment but it is a clean ale that is well balanced, just a little bland.

Aug 1, 2009 Amber orange with thin white head; nose is caramel and grassy hops, subtle; flavor is also caramel with hint of nuts; thin texture with moderate carbonation; a decent amber with medium bitterness and light hop flavor, nothing stands out here.

Jul 8, 2009 Draught at the brewpub. Dark amber-brown with a white head. Light caramel, herbal spice and light hops in the aroma. The flavor has toasty and light caramel malts with just balancing hops and a hempy spice. Medium-light body with medium carbonation. Nice balance of flavors with the addition of the hemp spiciness.
