Bärnstensfärgad öl med mediumstort skum. Doftar karamell och lite syrligt. Samma smaker, och en viss bitterhet förhöjer smaken.

Jake’s Pub, Chicago tap ($6): Pours an amber color with an off-white head. Aroma is of caramel malts, fruitiness, and a nice hoppy edge. Taste is predictably similar, but in a good way. This is a standard amber ale, which doesn’t succumb to amber ale boredom. The hoppy element in a nice touch. The malts are well-balanced with the hops. In short, this is an excellent session.

First tasted a number of years ago on a Business trip to Kalamazoo. Easy drinker with great color. Finish leaves you wanting more but it is a genuine amber. Had on tap in my shop in Wake Forest.

Bottle. Pours hazy amber with a small off-white head. Sweet aroma with dark fruit, roasted malt, caramel and a hint of hops. Flavor is sweet malts/caramel partially balanced by some hop bitterness. Decent easy drinking amber.

A nose of vanilla, caramel and roasty malt, a little diacetyl butter too. Light body with flavors of bready malt, a little caramel and a nice sting citrusy hops and carbonation. I’d like a fuller mouthfeel and a little less carbonation - taste is slightly minerally sweet and sharp from the co2.

Bottle, Batch #10809. Deep amber color with a small off white head. Plenty of particles present. Pleasant caramel and toasted malt aroma. Very well balanced flavor with caramel sweetness up front with a subtle bitter finish. Dry texture with average carbonation. Can’t go wrong with getting a sixer of this one.

Bottle courtesy of pat. Pours a nice amber color with some nice head. Caramel aroma. Nice and smooth to drink. Nice caramel maltiness with just a touch of some bitterness. Pretty awesome session beer.

Very clean. Easy drinking. Slight hop bitterness at the end. Mild and easy.
