Commercial Description:
Cask & Bottled;
A historically accurate beer based on the recipe devised on the 8th of February 2007. Recreated using the finest coloured malts which provide the complex sweet malt character which initially arouses the senses. Like a fine cheese cake the biscuit base has a smooth and creamy layer that both satisfies and entices. Culminating with a delicate fruit topping of blackcurrant and tinges of citrus to refresh the participant, complimented fully by the crisp dry bitter finish.

Bottle shared by Tmoney99. Pours a slightly hazy golden/ light amber color with a medium disappearing white head. Aroma of toasty malts, moderately sweet caramel, honey, herbal, and citrus. The flavo, which is more interesting than a standard amber, has toasted malt, caramel, fruity, with spicy and herbal hoppiness, The finish has some bitterness. This more than met my expectations. The cost is a bit prohibitive.

Pleasant sweet malt nose with some banana and some melon. Pours a slightly muddy amber with legs to beat the band. Flavour is deeply malty with a gentle freshness underpinning from the hops. Finish is long and moreish. A sterling amber ale and a credit to the style.

Pours a golden/amber color,with frothy off-white head. Aroma of hops, caramel, apple, and rye. Taste is malty, with citrus hop bite, and a taste of tart fruits (like apples). Medium bodied with crisp carbonation. Good quenching drinker.

Bottle. Pours a hazy amber color with very thin white head. Aroma is of hops. Flavor is of pine hops with a pretty bitter finish. I bought this on sale for much less than its usual cost, but would have paid paid full price. A good beer.

3/11/2009: Brew Dog The Physics "laid back amber beer" is definitely not a typical amber ale. The best way that I can describe it is that it is more like a rye pale ale than an amber ale. Besides having a true amber color (some might call it more gold than what some consider amber), it is definitely more of a pale ale than anything since a good level of pine/resiny hops dominate and there is a moderate level of bitterness. There is also a really nice dry quality and slight spiciness that brings rye to mind. I like this beer quite a bit. Definitely very good and quite sessionable. This is my kind of "amber" beer!

Strepitosa ale dal profumo marcato di luppolo fresco, ben bilanciata con un bell’amaro che pulisce; l’ho consigliata proprio ad un fisico.

Bottle. Poured a clear golden color with an average frothy white head that was mostly lasting and had good lacing. Good citrus hoppy aroma. Medium body with a smooth and soft carbonation. Moderate well balanced hoppy flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration. Good brew.

The hops had this awful sulfur and weedy hop with strange fruity components. Lightly medicinal. I was not happy with this beer.
