3.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Aroma and pour is an average. Taste is a light bitter hoppy taste, very nice and above average well balanced. Medium on the palate with a long finish. Like most of Bell’s products above average.
2.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Draft at redlight redlight. pours a bright amber. not much going on in the nose. i mean, it is literally hard to smell. the flavor is not much bigger. bitter citrus hops come through for sure, but there is enough malt to make it extremely if not overly balanced and the sweetness comes through as much as the bitterness. Perhaps my rating is too low because i in no way dislike this beer. it is a crisp and not bad session beer. however, it is not complex and ultimately easily forgettable.
3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
pours straw red with cream colored head. Light biscuity/bread aroma. Flavor is mostly bready malt with just a hint of hops. Clean finish. Decent amber.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Pours light orangie with an amber hue, elicits a fully receding tan head. Aroma of toasted bready malts, estery notes of pears and nectarines. flavour is crispy cracker cereal maltiness, a bit tame with a toasted bread smokey sweetiness. Decent, but boring.

A quality amber ale.

Sample at the Dude-a-Thon at Studio 35 on 1/17/10. Pours clear amber with a medium beige head. Caramel malt aroma with some hop. Flavor is about the same. Not bad, but kinda boring. Could have used some more bitterness.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours a nice hazed caramel brown with a large off white head. Aroma is caramel, malts, hops, fruits, spices. Flavor is caramel, hops, malts, fruity and refreshing and flavorful for an amber. Decent brew.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Poured a crystal clear bright amber with a tall creamy off-white head. At the end of the pour there were little veils of cloudiness suspended in the glass from a little sediment in the bottle. There was a nice amount of carbonation bubbles rising in the glass as well. There was a strong aroma of bread, malt, citrus and caramel. The taste was crisp with good carbonation and slightly tart up front. There was some citrus flavor along with the caramel and a nice hop build on the finish, but not too bitter. A good all around easy drinking beer. There was a light amount of lacing on the glass.
