alexsdad06 (1056), Ohio, USA Mar 21, 2009 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. johninmelb (688), Bristol, Gloucestershire, England Mar 20, 2009 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. mattmc1973 (300), Sterling Heights, Michigan, USA Mar 17, 2009 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. osu97gp (168), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Mar 14, 2009 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. shigadeyo (2210), Harrison, Ohio, USA Mar 13, 2009 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!

LordCorkscrew (939), Ronco Scrivia (GE), Italy Mar 13, 2009 Strepitosa ale dal profumo marcato di luppolo fresco, ben bilanciata con un bell’amaro che pulisce; l’ho consigliata proprio ad un fisico. Tmoney99 (4655), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA Mar 11, 2009 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. 1FastSTi (2551), Glendale, Wisconsin, USA Mar 9, 2009 The hops had this awful sulfur and weedy hop with strange fruity components. Lightly medicinal. I was not happy with this beer.
