Amber body with a huge bubbly white head. Aroma of sweet malts and lots of hops. Body is thin and quite hoppy and ends with a short bitter smack.

Clear pale copper, foamy off white head lasts. Grassy sweet malt aroma. Caramel malt taste, well balanced with a lightly hopped background, not much else. Lively carbonation, light-medium bodied. A bit watery in the finish. LF (Lagerboy Friendly)

Overall I like this beer quite a bit. Rich in character of caramel and bread like malts. A nice head that recedes quickly to a thin film with minimal lacing. Definitely a sweeter ale, but the bitterness of the hops does balance out the mouthfeel. I’d session the crap outta this one.

Amber color. Malt aroma. Caramel flavor, dry, a bit dusty. Correct bitterness. Simple.

Medium haze amber, bright gently tanned top. Plenty of rich malts, fruity aromatic character. Light specs of alcohol and citric hops. Medium bodied ale, sweet malts. Medium intense mango like hops. Gentle, smooth soft ale.

Pours a clear copper with a decent that disappears quickly. Not a ton of aroma - a little citrus hop. The taste is more or less just caramel malt. It’s not very strong, but its not offensive either. Decent session beer.

I find this beer to be outstanding for an amber ale. Fresh tasting and delicious.

Pours out a light amber with a thin yellowish head. The nose is lightly malted with some nuts, toffee and grains. A moderate hop on the nose with some citrus fruits. The taste is somewhat boring with a nutty, light malt and a medium hop on the finish. Overall, a bit bland but a tasty session brew.

Une odeur initialement sucrée (maïs) mais très brève; après l’avoir versé ça se dissipe très vite. Apparence alléchante avec cet bel couleur orange et un mince collet qui persiste longtemps. Pas un goût très anarchiste... Je l’ai pris un peu froide mais même réchauffé il n’y pas beaucoup d’amertume ni de sucre et pas vraiment d’autres saveurs. Pas très costaud. Je sais que c’est une amber ale et une bière de party, pas de dégustation, mais au final il y a beaucoup d’autre bière du même type qui ont plus de tonus, comme la boréale rousse.

UPDATED: NOV 28, 2011 Can. Caramely. Not nearly as interesting as you’d expect from the marketing.

650ml bottle purchased at Jasper Alberta Liquor Lodge store for $6.50CAD Very good.
