Commercial Description:
Made from mostly pale malt and some Munich and caramel malts. These add a little sweetness, which is balanced by more hops. The result is a rich color and fruity flavor.

This ale poured a dark orange colour with a quickly dissipating, off white head. To the nose there are scents of citrus, malt sugar, caramel and yeast. First taste was very smooth with flavours of caramel and malt. Finish is slightly hoppy and smooth. Palate is malty and very good.

12 oz bottle pours an orange amber with a beige head. Malty nose with a touch of herbal spice. The toffee and toasted malts are balanced well with a herbal spice that is bitterand tasty. Really drinkable and tasty, especially for an amber.

12 oz bottle from tytoanderso, Thanks Tyler. Pours a rather hazy orange amber with a huge frothy off white head that left tons and tons of lace on my Duvel tulip. Aroma was very malty with slight caramel/toffee sweetness and lots of dry grain and cereal. Flavor was similar with some sweet toffee, dry toast and even a hint of tea. Not the most interesting or challenging beer but highly drinkable. Probably one of the best amber ales I have tried and this would be a great beer to give to someone to get them interested in craft beer as it has enough flavor/aroma without it being too much for a beginner.

12oz. from the bottle. Flavor is malty, sweet, and somewhat watery. There is a small hop presence in the finish. Good session brew.

Part of the mixed case from Shangy’s in PA. Good smelling brew with a hefty caramel flavor and a short afterfinish. Another solid one from Bells.

Pours a hazy orange-copper with a thin off white head. Aroma is toasted malt, some caramel. Pretty light on the aroma. Flavour is nice rich toasted malt, biscuity tones. Sweet middle, light chalky bitter finish though not unpleasant.
