Commercial Description:
The most complex of our beer line-up with a combination of five different malts and four different hop varieties. Buttface has the broadest popular appeal of our beers. It has a high malt character and lack of evident hops. This surprises people because it is easy to drink, but has a higher alcohol content than what is perceived.

On tap in a very well-priced sampler. Dark amber/light brown color. Mild nose with faint hints of malt. Smooth, silky malt flavor.

Draft at the Tacoma Waterfront location. Crystal clear dark amber with no head, lace, or carb. Mild nutty nose. Light, somewhat watery body. Leafy, nutty, biscuity mid-palate. Pretty vacant finish. Years ago, I used to be able to drink this beer.

I liked this amber. It was pretty good. A nice balance, however slightly muted. Deep dark reddish brown mahogany color with a fluffy head.

I’m surprised how rough people have been on this beer. Sure, it wasn’t the greatest thing ever, but I found it fairly enjoyable...more so than other beers I’ve had from RAM. Flavors are lightly sweet, caramely, and malty. Highly drinkable, and really a perfect crossover beer for the BMC crowd.

My favorite beer. A great blend that goes down smooth. The alcohol content sneaks up on you, as this beer always seems to give me a buzz faster.

Aroma with a little bit of hops, some sweet caramel notes as well. Beer pours a clear amber color with some head that goes away; there is not a lot of carbonation going on here. The beer is enjoyable enough, not a ton of hop flavor but really not much sweetness either. The beer presents a good dryness with flavors of caramel and a light roasted grain flavor as well. This drinks fairly easily.
