Bottle. Aroma of pale malts at first, caramel malts add some sweetness a bit into the glass. Floral hops in the background. Hops not terribly prevalent in the flavor, resulting in a medium-body, generally sweet brew. Tasty, probably sessionable, not exceptional.

Jul 25, 2008 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.

Jul 25, 2008 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.

Jul 20, 2008 Pours amber with a medium white head. Arome of cirtus, ppine, and sweet malts. Taste was similar, finishing with a decent bitterness. A pleasent, but not extraordinary, beer. Good session beer (or would be if Bells were available in RI)

Jul 19, 2008 THOUGHTS: A nice beer, but a really good amber ale. Would have been even more outstanding if I hadn’t just finished a Red Menace just before trying this one. That one was way more flavorful, but this is way more drinkable.
TECHNICAL: Bottle. Poured a cloudy, medium amber with tiny to small body particles of an average density and a small to average off-white head that mostly diminished. The aroma was light toasted, nutty and caramel malt, light hops, light to moderate doughy yeast, a little tea and slight fruitiness. The initial flavor was moderately sweet and lightly acidic; while the finish was moderate to heavily sweet and lightly acidic and bitter with an average duration. There was caramel malt, a little yeast and then some tea in there somewhere too.
