Drank it at the Firkin Festival in Triple Rock. Pours an amber color. However, it was very watery. The malts were lost...

mjg74 (2138) - La Mesa, California, USA - JAN 29, 2008
Bottle from BevMo online. Light amber in color upon pouring. Dry malty aroma with a slightly spicy English hop character. Very bitter English hoppiness. Dry bready malt finish. More like a hoppy ESB than a typical American amber.

UPDATED: JAN 15, 2008 Poured an amber color with almost no head. The yeast flavor was overwhelming and the aftertaste wasn’t much better.

timfoolery (662) - California, USA - NOV 13, 2007
Not impressed by this Amber Ale. It tasted of malt, but too much yeast flavor in drinking and the aftertaste turned me off immediately. It’s light in flavor and head. Not the greatest.

riversideAK (4560) - Shoreline, Washington, USA - SEP 12, 2007
Aroma is caramel malt wtih some hops in the background. Flavor is similar except there are some buttery notes here followed by a crisp bitterness. Smooth and lightly carbonated.

bhensonb (7579) - Woodland, California, USA - APR 16, 2007
Nutty malt aroma, along with some hop. Clear copper color with a frothy white head. It laces somewhat. Starts with some floral hop, quickly followed by marvelous malt. The combination results in a toffee/caramel aspect. Amazingly enough the finish is relatively dry. The result is something difficult to describe, but it is quite nice. Leaves a dry bitter in the mouth. Marvelous.

ChillCoat (1030) - Concord, California, USA - DEC 2, 2004
UPDATED: AUG 11, 2005 On tap at the Brew Pub (Before it closed). This was a my Fav B.D beer. Pours a nice light, clear amber. Carmel and malty aroma with a florally hoppy smell. Taste is just slightly bitter with a good malt backbone. More of an English style ale.
