COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Our Amber is a Northern German Altbier style ale. Medium in body, its unique sweet toasty malt character and notes of caramel flavor create a remarkably easy to drink yet complex flavor. The mild sweetness transitions into a clean and slightly dry finish leaving you longing for more. The perfect session beer for any occasion!

A: The pour is an amber-copper sort of color with a thin off-white head. S: A sweet, malty nose with a touch of spicy hops and a distinct fruity note. Some light floral and sweet citrus hop aromas. T: Sweet fruits and malts up front which are the main flavor components. There are some nice bread notes and a flavor that I usually associate with rye. A sort of lager yeast character too, that comes out of nowhere. M: The body is medium with a medium level of carbonation. D: I’m not sure exactly what to make of this. I suppose i haven’t had a ton of Alts, so it’s still sort of an unfamiliar style to me. I liked it, but didn’t love it.

yngwie (9177) - Kristiansand, NORWAY - OCT 5, 2009
Bottle, 22oz, shared by Papsoe. It’s an unclear, orangey beer without carbonation or head. Sweetish and fruity nose with tropical fruits. Syrupy sweet flavor with tropical fruits and bitterness. Syrupy sweet like the syrup in canned peaches or pineapple that is. Medium to full-bodied, with decent co2 level. Sweet, bitter finish. A quite decent beer, but nothing to kill for. 090821

From a bottle at the UCLA game. Color was a amber/brown. Aroma of sweet malt, fruit and caramel; a bit of yeast in there. Flavor was straightforward, but pretty solid. Sweet caramel and fruit, with a bit of nuttiness.

Bottle, 5.5%. Good malty aroma, seems to have a little bit of alcohol to balance. Quite cloudy amber colour. Very small head. Quite malty flavour, slightly rough. Medium bitterness. Not quite clean.
