12 ounce bottle into pint glass, bottled 3/22/2012. Pours a very hazy orange amber color with a nice 1 finger dense off white head with good retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Some decent spotty lacing clings to the glass. Aromas of biscuit, toast, caramel, light citrus, floral, and nuttiness. Some pretty good well balanced aromas that are a bit muted. Taste of caramel, biscuit, grapefruit, orange, floral, toast, nuttiness, and light pine. Light bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of caramel, grapefruit, toast, floral, and light pine on the finish for a short bit. Slightly dry on the finish. Good balance of citrus hop flavors with the malt backbone. Medium carbonation and body; with a fairly creamy and slightly crisp mouthfeel. Alcohol is well hidden with pretty much no warming noticed at all on the finish. Very easy to drink as expected for 5.8%. Overall this is a very nice amber ale. Nice flavor balance and smoothness; very sessionable and enjoyable.

Bottle to pint. Looks good; the color the title suggests. Smells solid; sweet and malty. Tastes like it smells with a decent mouthfeel. Solid.

Not bad but nothing special about the amber. Nothing remarkable but nothing off putting.

Tried my first bells beer and I was not disappointed. The smell was rich in hours, did have a dark amber color, had a very hoppy taste, and was a somewhat bitter after taste. Overall I would drink it again.

Possibly the best Amber Ale I’ve ever had. Rich caramel taste that never gets old. I can’t rate it super high with the huge flavors of other beers, but this is as good as it gets for this style, or at least as good as I’ve had. Delicious.
