Draught at Tyler’s in Durham, NC. Clear brown color with thin whit head. Nice caramel nose and flavor. Slightly sweet. No hop flavor or aroma. Easy to drink, but not exceptional.

pours copper with a nice beige head. aroma is strong and sweet malts. taste is caramel malts with a hint of hops that balance the beer well. great rendition for this particular beer style. easy to drink and well made.

bottle from mix pack. yep..amber. it’s clear. it’s got a big head. rich, malty nose with a some sweetness and floral notes. lots of crystal in here. lots of caramel and toasted malt notes. medium sweetness. floral hops fit the bill nicely.

12oz bottle. Deep copper color. Beautiful, light tan colored, foamy head. Aroma of toasted malts, medicinal herbal hops. Sweet malts, fresh fruit flavor. Nice hop bitterness. Well balanced. A very nice Amber Ale. (3345)

Bottle. Copper color with a medium-sized beige head. Caramel malt, toffee, hint of citrusy hops. Flavor is sweet with caramel, toffee, citrus and slight bitterness in the finish. Medium body.

Draught at the Lord Hobo, Cambridge, MA. Reddish amber with a thin cream head that laces the glass nicely; floral aroma; soft and malty flavour with some spicy orange fruit; and a crisply hopped finish that’s gentle and very moreish. Pleasant, but not outstanding.

Being socialized on Belgian amber ale Palm and discovering the wild hoppy world of IPAs somewhat 10 years later, I am glad to sample ever new and tasty takes on the unassuming amber ale. This one enhances the light mouthfeel and middle-of-the road maltiness of an amber ale with a nice floral IPA hoppiness, making it less sticky and highly drinkable. 2nd above average beer from an Anderson sampler.

Poured this beer from the bottle into a 4oz sampling glass to drink. The beer had a medium-dark amber color with a rusty orange hue, and a smaller foamy white had with light cling but some lacing and short retention. Its aroma featured a floral-fruity hops aspect, mixed with some rich caramel malt. The beer had a somewhat caramel malty sweetness paired with a lighter grainy bitterness. It was a thinner beer with a light mouthfeel, with low carbonation and was somewhat dry. Thank you to Eric and Siobhan for the tasting.

Bottle from The Euston Hazy amber brown colour, good head. Tropical fruit & resin aroma. Creamy resin & tropical fruit flavour. Sweet aftertaste. A good amber ale but not one of the best as suggested here.

Flaske 0,355l på Bishops Arms, Kiruna 28 Mar 12. Mørk aprikosfarget. Litt uklar. OK, litt farget skum. Fruktig aroma med en aning metall. Smaken er søt fruktig. Plommer. Svakt søtlig ettersmak.

Jeff’s garage. Surprisingly good, I mean really surprising, for me. Great malt and German barnyard flavor. Best amber I can remember.
