I keep searching to find a really great Amber Ale that I can call my own. I just discover that most beers in this style just don’t fit my taste and Ropewalk can be added to the list of dissapointments. Taste is coppery mettalic with a stale peanuts vibe. Overall, just a bland drink that falls flat in the character department.

Jun 27, 2008 This is pretty good for a so-called "amber ale," a type which I often find to be bland and subdued. It is red amberwith a big tan head steadily shrinking to a thin top and a hint of lace. The aroma is tasty stewed prunes, bread, hints of caramel, leaves, herbs, and wine. The taste is similar, being zesty, herbal/leafy bread, hint of caramel, fruit, pine, and ginger ale. As with many, it is smooth and drnikable, but it is more tasty, complex, and interesting than many of this ilk and quite satisfying, It also goes pretty well with food.

Jun 5, 2008 Draft. An amber beer with a slight haze under a thin off-white head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of caramel, while the flavor is sweet malty with caramel being the strongest note, but also lighter notes of fruits and spices.

May 21, 2008 A little dissapointing in taste, but tolerable. Pours a clear bright amber colour with a small white head. aroma is nutty, with caramel, ginger and toffee flavors. Mouthfeel is pretty light. finishes weak and a little watery.
