poured into a tulip glass. a slightly bitter, but good tasting beer. a hint of carmel.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
12 oz bottle served in a tulip. Pour is a caramel amber with an inch of off-white head. Nose is caramel, and malt. Taste is also caramel and malt with slightly bitter hop finish. Not a bad brew, definitely very sessionable/drinkable, but nothing to really go out of the way for either.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
pours amber/orange with medium white head. aroma is lightly fruity with nice sweet caramel and malt. drinks solid with nice sweet malt throughout and a little mixed fruits.
3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draught @ World of Beer, Tampa, FL: Pours a pumpkin colour, reasonable white head that clings tightly to the glass. Aroma is quite muted, not much to garner but some sweet malting. The flavour is heavy on those caramel malts, quite sweet, with some light floral hops chasing it. A reasonable amber.
3.1 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Copper with a small beige head, nice lacing. Smells and tastes very malty, also pretty sweet and has a light bitter finish. Good Amber overall.
4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Excellent medium bodied amber ale with mild hops and moderate sweetness. Does not really have a hoppy taste.
3.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours amber with a tall lingering head. Good aroma. Medium nectar with slightly creamy effers. Malty with distinct hop bittering that gives it a fresh taste.

My Bottom Line:
Caramelized malts galore make up most of this Amber Ale’s flavour profile, for a well executed but infinitely linear recipe.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-A veil of foam covers the hazy, dull amber.
-There are so many caramel malt flavours here, the flavour profile becomes reminiscent of a diluted barley wine.
-Light fruitiness comes from the malts.
-Citrusy hops are really not important; this is not really balanced.
-The finish is storyless; just more of the same.
