Markro1 (4) - California, USA - DEC 29, 2010 does not count
Light amber with a decent hop hit, heavy citrus finish. Nothing to write home about.

gururyan (363) - Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA - DEC 2, 2010
Pours a hazy amber, healthy head. Not too impressed with this one, I don’t taste the hops others are tasting and I get a hint of chocolate/toffee with maybe a touch of cinnamon? Glad I didn’t get a sixer.

BelgianBeerGal (2217) - Dayton Area, Ohio, USA - NOV 10, 2010
Can from Platte City. Interesting amber, in a good way. Definitely a hint of hops but this focused more on caramel and roasted malts. Nicely done and thanks for canning.

elgiacomo (588) - Chickamauga, Georgia, USA - OCT 24, 2010
12oz can, unknown date. Pours hazy red/copper/amber with a one finger off white head that holds a good cap but only leaves a few short-lived spots of lacing. Aroma is some caramel, brown sugar, vanilla, grassy, floral hops, bready and yeasty, touch of citrus and fruity esters, good strength. Flavor is somewhat fruity, pears and apples, some citrus, caramel, toffee, bready malt, fairly sweet, low bitterness. Sweet finish. Mouthfeel is thin to medium bodied, low to medium carbonation. Very good Amber Ale, but not as robust as Bell’s excellent Amber Ale.
