Not a great amber by any stretch of the imagination. Light but refreshing. It went rather well spicy Cajun food like crawfish etouffee, gumbo, and jambalaya. Still it’s one step above a typical domestic light beer in my mind. Lacks in flavor, body, complexity, and aroma. Drinkable though

(12oz bottle) Pours a clear copper body with a small off-white head. Aroma of nuts, toasted grain, and grass. Flavor of nuts, grass, toasted malt, and caramel.

This is a good amber beer, but some batches tend towards sour. Usually better on tap. I’d recommend giving it a chance, with bread and butter for a side dish. RJT

I love ambers, just not this one. No hops profile at all. I really only every drank this back in the day becase Emril would cook with it. I will tell you this, for some reason it makes great BBQ sauce

bottle. Poured clear bronze with lasting off-white head. Mild tart caramel hop aroma. Watery mouthfeel. Light roasty caramel flavour, then it’s gone. Slight dry finish.

Pours a tan cream-soda color with an enormous head that fades very slowly. Aroma is of caramel malts, metal, and a little brown sugar. Flavor was a disappointment; Like an Anheuser-Busch dark lager. Basically a watery lager with just a hint of caramel or toffee sweetness. Other than that, very watery, thin, dull. Drinkable, but not highly enjoyable. Overall, fair.

Had on draft at Cosmo’s Pizza A - Pours a lovely amber/orange color with a generous head and nice lacing. Very nice looking beer. S - Not a lot too this one. Very muted aroma of malt/bread but hop aroma is pretty much nonexistent. T - Caramel malts and water dominate this tasting experience. Still not a lot of hops to be found. Slight bitterness but no real hop flavor. M - thin and watery. Carbonation is prickly and help a little, but it just seems awfully thin. D - This beer is more boring than it is bad. I could drink a couple but wouldn’t really enjoy any of them.

Solid Amber beer. Nice color, full malty aroma, good sweet flavor with no bitterness.
