Commercial Description:
Atlas is Big Time's most popular beer. Its mixture of pale, crystal, Munich, and light dextrin malts, with just a few pounds of roasted barley, give it a rich, robust malt flavor, and three distinctive Northwestern hop varieties (Chinook, Cascade, and Centennial) impart an aggressive hop character.

On tap at Big Time is Seattle, WA--Poured a bright amber body with a whitish swirly wispy head. Creamy, nutty, grainy nose. Smooth, subtle. A little thin, but highly enjoyable.

Has all the makings of a great amber ale but just not enough of it. Grainy, bready caramel cereal malt backbone with just a touch of earth and sweetness. Nice hop profile with light grapefruit and pine essence. Really nice drink - very much like the Mac & Jacks African Amber, just a lighter version.

Copper color with a tight head, nice lacing. Sweet bread aroma with caramel and brown sugar. Super smooth mouthfeel. Nice subtle flavors of caramel with some earthy spices. Very nice cask pulled beer here @ the brewpub.

7/8/08 On draught at the brewpub. Aroma is rich and caramel malty with almost no hop flora. Appearance is hazy brown with a well maintained cream colored head and good lacing. Flavor is very sweet with lots of sugar and quite low earthy bittering. Mouthfeel is moderate bodied with a medium carb texture. Overall, just too sweet, not enough of either malt or hop character.

Taster - Big Time Brewery - Seattle, WA
Aroma – Lighter in the hops on this one. More darker malt in the nose.
Appearance – Dark amber color, clear with a thin head.
Flavor – Has more of a amber flavor like a Scottish light. Has the hops and malt balance with a tad spice.
Palate – Good Mouthfeel, Nice texture with a nice dry finish.
Overall – A very nice amber ale this was pleasant and easy to drink. Average beer for the regular crowd to order.
