2.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
A little lighter orange than your standard amber. Strangely nearly devoid of aroma, but what is there is extremely faint toasted malt. Rather predictable caramel-malty flavor, but still nice and toasty, maybe some aromatic malt? Quite tasty, with a hint of herbal hops. Gradually building bitterness.

Part of the sampler tray at the brewery. Moderate amber ale. Bit of a tinny taste
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Draft @ brewery. Malt caramel with citrus grassy hops on the nose. Pours a clear copper. Piney hops with bready malts and hints of citrus hops. Balanced
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Tap at the brewpub. Nice amber pour. Smooth malt taste with some toasted and caramel touches. Light malt aroma. Just ok.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
On tap at the brewpub. Pours a dark amber color. Aroma is a little toasted with dark fruit, mainly plum. The flavor is cardboardy with some fruit and very a barely discernible hop finish. Not a terrible amber ale.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pale amber pour with a bit of head and some lacing. Solid malt flavors with a touch of hops to balance. Nice richness with earthy undertones. Pretty will made beer that is a solid performer, but nothing really stands out. I’d certainly put this on an order when I go there. this beer is a bit tought to recall in light of the fact that I tried their Hop Head Red afterwards, which blew it away.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Clear amber color/ thin head. Mild nutty, caramel aromas. Fizzy light body. Mild nutty flavor with mild roasty malts, weak, thin.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
On Tap. Pours with a amber body and an off-white ring. Aroma of caramel and fruit. Taste is nutty (peanut shells) with fruit, light dark roasted notes and caramel. A bit too fizzy and thin on the mouth.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Color is pale amber with a small head. Toasted, biscuit malt balanced by bittering hops. Pretty well-rounded, but I guess I just wished something stood out more about this beer. To be honest this beer is a bit tought to recall in light of the fact that I tried their Hop Head Red afterwards, which blew it away.
