AxeMaster221 (343), Portland, Oregon, USA May 24, 2002 A orange/amber color with a slightly off white head that wasnt too large to start with and diminished fairly rapidly. Mild floral aromas. The flavor was also fairly mild although the hops came through in the finish. Just a tad watery for my taste but I’m sure it will win some fans.
RSRIZZO (1097), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA Dec 2, 2007 Had this beer in 12/5/2001. Aroma is a fresh hoppy scent. Color is a nice golden brown with good carbonation and a nice head. Taste is hoppy, mild and smooth. Starting with a easy medium body it goes down smooth with a nice hop flavor coming out. Finish is mild with a creamy malt flavor with fresh hops and a slight bitterness. Overall I feel it is a good drinking beer but just not fresh and crisp enough for a Spring brew. jpm30 (1588), East Central, Georgia, USA Feb 7, 2006 From a 12 oz. stubby brown bottle with a blurb about the ale on the back label and no freshness date. Made a good appearance, poured a semi-hazy amberish copper with a foamy off-white goldenish head that reduced to a thin, bubbly lacing. Had a caramel malty aroma with whiffs of citrus/fruity hops and a bready yeastiness. Good carbonation and a slick light to medium bodied mouth feel, good drinkability. Had a big citrus fruity hop taste, a mellow bitterness, with a underlining sweet bready maltiness and a crisp soft sour finish.
A decent Amber Ale from Grant’s, not their best hop-upped ale, but very drinkable.
Pailhead (2339), Allen Park, Michigan, USA Oct 23, 2005 Bottle: Aroma is bready with moderate cookie maltiness and a touch of flowery hops. Pours a transparent amber with a yellowish off-white head that diminishes quickly. Toffee flavors up front are instantly dominated by a sour and nutty hop finish Not what I was expecting in an APA. walleye (828), Sterling Heights, Michigan, USA Oct 23, 2005 got this in a trade and cannot remember who sent it. thanks any way. from the bottle , poured a copper ambe with off white head. aroma malts and hops, caramel, hints of grapefruit. flavor, malts, caramel, some toffee, floral hops, a little on the watery side but not to bad. Cletus (3614), Connecticut, USA Aug 22, 2005 Not really sure what this one’s trying to be, but it does not possess the qualities of an amber ale; not that that is a bad thing. Pours an almost brown color with a decent heda. Smells citrussy with some grapefruit undertones. Finishes floral with some wildflower like qualities and some tastes I cannot quite place.
