3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Light caramel and cereal malt aroma, amber/copper color, minimal white head, light sweetness, lightly bitter, light citrus flavor, medium body, thin feel, lively carbonation, long finish. Good offering, I prefer a little more hops but for an Amber this has a decent amount.

Delicious amber malts, this is my new favorite amber. Very rich but not sweet and malty flavors. Very little hop prescence.

POurs amber with nice sweet malt notes on the ose and palate. Finish is muted with sweet malt and a light hop note.

One of the better regular Amber ales I have had. Pours an amber shade of brown. Nose is malty. Taste is malty and smooth with a little sweetness to it. A pretty good everyday beer.

It poured an amber color with a thin white head. The aroma was of brown sugar. The taste was of caramel malt.

Looks nice, hazy and thick and amber with a lovely, lasting head. Smells like a combination of sweet malt and wet towels. Not sure what that odor is, but it’s a little sour and mildewy, not what you want featured in your beer’s nose. Taste regains lost ground, sweet and caramel laced, with a grassy, semiroasted middle that fades into a sturdy hop finish. The hops take command of the second half of the beer, bracing the initial sweetness, but I’m still not entirely sold on this beer. The next bottle could go either way.... (5/19/09)
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours a nice shimmery golden into a tulip glass. The head is thin and smooth, having creamy lacing. Light bodied and lightly carbonated, this looks already to be great. Aromas of of citrus, yeast, caramel and cinnamon are surprisingly sweet for an amber. As for the flavors, again very sweet, tastes bright and hoppy, with a great spicy undertone of caramel and malts. Perfectly balanced, and perfectly drinkable, truly a fantastic amber ale.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
355ml bottle at jsprimes birthday bash. pours amber with an off white head. toasty malt, minimal hops. very basic flavour with malt and hops balancing. not sessionable at 5.8% and not a lot going on to make it feel special. very basic simple amber ale.
