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.

It was a good amber, all be it a weak one. I would have liked a little more robust of a taste. It was a bit too watery for me.

Very well balanced with caramel and buttery taste. Just enough amount of hops. I will enjoy this beer everyday anytime of the day. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Pours amber with a white head. Nose of some caramel. Medium bodied, with a refreshing caramel malt and hints of bitterness, though hops isn’t present enough to get a specific aroma.

Bärnstensfärgad öl med mediumstort skum. Doftar karamell och lite syrligt. Samma smaker, och en viss bitterhet förhöjer smaken.

Jake’s Pub, Chicago tap ($6): Pours an amber color with an off-white head. Aroma is of caramel malts, fruitiness, and a nice hoppy edge. Taste is predictably similar, but in a good way. This is a standard amber ale, which doesn’t succumb to amber ale boredom. The hoppy element in a nice touch. The malts are well-balanced with the hops. In short, this is an excellent session.

First tasted a number of years ago on a Business trip to Kalamazoo. Easy drinker with great color. Finish leaves you wanting more but it is a genuine amber. Had on tap in my shop in Wake Forest.

Bottle. Pours hazy amber with a small off-white head. Sweet aroma with dark fruit, roasted malt, caramel and a hint of hops. Flavor is sweet malts/caramel partially balanced by some hop bitterness. Decent easy drinking amber.

EHouse (89) - Boston, Massachusetts, USA - FEB 1, 2012
A nose of vanilla, caramel and roasty malt, a little diacetyl butter too. Light body with flavors of bready malt, a little caramel and a nice sting citrusy hops and carbonation. I’d like a fuller mouthfeel and a little less carbonation - taste is slightly minerally sweet and sharp from the co2.

Bottle, Batch #10809. Deep amber color with a small off white head. Plenty of particles present. Pleasant caramel and toasted malt aroma. Very well balanced flavor with caramel sweetness up front with a subtle bitter finish. Dry texture with average carbonation. Can’t go wrong with getting a sixer of this one.
