COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
With a fury of hop flavor and a hint of malt backbone, this west coast amber is part ale, part sensory eruption, and all American.

Another home run from the boys in Madison. Such a great balance, although aggresivly hopped for an amber it still has enough malt backbone to really shine. Great beer and well made.

Light aroma of??? Not much... Bitterness up front ...breast and malty... Hop taste but not smooth and not a good hop taste at least not my type of preferred hop prescence... Fair at best:( ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

hop__head (11) - Wisconsin, USA - APR 7, 2013
Very good hop aroma.... smells more like an ipa than an amber. Pours a cloudy copper color with a nice tan head. Good lacing on the glass. Very well hopped and very drinkable.

FlyingPenguin (6) - SIOUX FALLS, South Dakota, USA - FEB 9, 2013 does not count
Bottle. Dark amber color with light tan head and light lacing. Significant hops aroma with some sweetness. Hops in the forefront with medium bitterness, some malt flavor comes through before fading to the floral hops. Medium body, and hoppy finish.

Man, that was a good beer! Beautifully hopped, text book amber ale. Citrusy bitters perfectly weighted against a lovely deep malt. Excellent!

dlbeer (381) - Wisconsin, USA - JAN 28, 2013
Bottle. Dark amber pour with off white head and medium lacing. Smells of hops, caramel and slight sweet malts. Tastes of the same with very slight raisin notes. Very well balanced beer and one of the best ambers i’ve had.
