Bottle from Foodery. Great copper red orange color and decent head. Caramel and nutty malt in the front and grassy herbal hops to balance. Well balanced and better tasting than the average "amber."

Poured lighter brown/amber and if not decanted, slightly cloudy with an off-white head and an appealing caramel aroma. Nice clean malt flavor and medium hop bitterness rounds out this nice brew. Reminds me of a brown ale. Very tasty.

12 oz. bottle from John’s Grocery (Iowa City, IA). Pours a very hazy dark amber hue with a significant bubbly tan head that begins to dissipate. Aromas of sweet caramel malts and sugary sweetness with a nice hoppiness. Initial taste is a mellow sweetness that flows through to a bit of a hoppy fruitiness and moves further towards a smooth semisweet finish that tastes of wonderful caramel malts. Overall, lacking in hop bitterness, the aroma led me to believe we’d have a more noticeable hop portion. However, a nice mellow amber that openly displays an impressive malt bill in taste and in aroma. Yum.

Amber in color with a moderate off-white head. Aromas were of brown sugar, grapefruit, caramel malt and spice. In the mouth it was medium-bodied with lovely malt flavors and midpalate balanced by hops that show a nice slight dryness at the end. A very nice Amber.

Fantastic Amber ale. Poured a huge head in my scooner and lasted till the last drop. Aroma of flowery hops pineapple and as it warms brown sugar. More on the sweet side and could use a bit more bittering hops. When it warms the flavor takes on a more dark malt taste. Overall just awesome for the style.
