COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Owyhee Amber Ale is an easy drinking, amber beer for the masses. Brewed with 2-row barley, Munich, and crystal malts, this amber beer is a cleaner, crisper version of an ale reminiscent of an amber lager beer. Owyhee Amber is a true session beer as refreshing as a breath of air in the vast mountain range that it was named after.

SuperDave (1934) - Beautiful Sunny Mesa, USA - AUG 12, 2008
Clear amber pour with a thin fizzy head. Aroma of sweet malt, light fruit, and citrus hops. Flavor follows the same pattern. Sweet and malty up front with a decent hop bite on the finish. A bit tingly on the palate. Not bad, but I wouldn’t search it out.

Ibrew2or3 (4914) - Phoenix, Arizona, USA - SEP 2, 2011
Bomber pours deep copper with gold edges and light tan head. The aroma is modest in strength and offers up roasted malts and a bit of sweet nuttiness. The taste follows suit with a good load of malt sweetness and malt nuttiness as well as a thin layer of roasted malts. Well off in the background I get murmurs of earthiness and spicy hops too. The beer seems to be at odds with itself. Kind of muddled.
