1.8 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Poured amber/tan from the tap. Nondescript to zero aroma. Flat, almost like flour taste. Not a winner.

A fine beer by bells. Usually their beers are very heavy and flavorful, so was expecting roasting or smokiness with this beer but instead i got what i really wanted a sweet, smooth and clean beer. Can’t wait to drink another one.

pours sparkling medium amber color with a frothy off-white head. Aroma is lightly malty of light bread and grain, moderatly hoppy of grapefruit and orange, moderatly yeasty, leather and apples. Flavor is kinda blah. balanced twords the sweet side, lots of crystal finishes the same with a bit of dyacetal. Light to medium bodied, oily texure coats the mouth and softly carbonated
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Taste this as Big Porch on Mackinac Island, one of the resturants from the Grand Hotel. Pours a gold amber, pale and dark malt with sweet fragrances, faint bread and fruit aromas, small cookie and flower aroma, malt and sweet flavors, little hop bite, some orange grapefruit citrus taste in the mouth here and there, medium dry on the palate, little watery, an easy drinking ale.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Most amber beers to me are just very drinkable, if uninspiring beers. This one is very drinkable, but also good enough to be at least a bit inspiring. Sweet malt with a hint of fruit and nuts . Very smooth, but with a brightness and a hint of hoppy bitter. Really a lot here.

Very light bodied. Had a good flavor. Amber beers are among my favorites, so I enjoyed trying this one.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottled. Definitely one of the better ambers I have tried. A really nice, balanced palate. Big flavour and full mouthfeel takes this amber up a notch.
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Clear dark amber with a good off-white head. Aroma has a faint woody character coupled with amber malt (obviously). Flavor includes wood, nuts, and roasted malt. Good medium body; smooth with light carbonation. Overall: poundable and without flaw. Scratch that, a bit of a metallic flavor comes out as it warms, but still a fine brew.
