COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This is an American Amber Ale. Cloudy from the yeast, this moderately rich ale is just bitter enough to balance the sweetness of the malt. Grain from Washington Island is used in this brew, but it is not the dominating malt.

holdenn (1855) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - OCT 15, 2008
12 oz bottle from Steve’s in WI. Pours a clear orange with a thin off-white and soapy head. Not much in the nose. A touch of malt. Spritzy carbonation and lackluster thin flavors. The malts taste a little old and stale. Touch of biscuit, and toffee, with a finish of faded hops that are lemony and remind me of lipton tea. Not so good.

mcjay (462) - Neenah, Wisconsin, USA - DEC 11, 2008
Golden copper color, slightly hazy with a thin white head. Flavor and aroma are grainy and slightly sour with a hint of toffee. Body is mildly sweet and malty.

noncaloric (684) - Madison, Wisconsin, USA - OCT 7, 2008
Aroma: Malts and sour milk. Appearance: Clear medium amber with a red tint. Modest off-white head, spotty lace. Flavor: Strong, pleasantly nutty malt profile. Other components are sour milk, sun tea, and stale biscuit; they clash messily. Palate: Sharp carbonation, a little sticky on the finish.

madvike (1475) - Middleton, Wisconsin, USA - DEC 13, 2009
Bottle - Pours amber with a small white head. Smells of caramel and lactose, taste is biting caramel and malt with nuttiness and sour lactose. Medium carbonated and medium-bodied. Just tastes syrupy and artificial.

GeneralGao (3545) - Iowa City, Iowa, USA - OCT 16, 2008
12oz bottle. poured a clear medium orange color. The head was soapy and off white. It reduced almost immediately to a thin film that hung around. The aroma wasn’t all that inviting. Hay and biscuits mostly with whiffs of wet stone and cooked vegetables. Light to medium bodied and dry. No significant bitterness. There was the faintest hint of toffee mixed with dishwater. Bleh.

arminjewell (3107) - Parker, Colorado, USA - JAN 8, 2010
Pours amber with white head, aroma is flat with some caramel and nuts, and taste is just caramel and lactose with nothing else. Overall gives a very fake impression and doesn’t have much going for it.

That1Guy (1516) - Lyons, Colorado, USA - SEP 6, 2008
UPDATED: SEP 7, 2008 Crushed with Jakebra. Something about ambers just doesn’t agree with this guy, aight? Only hoppy ambers are good for the soul, and this one is still malty, and the finish is stale.

Had on tap in a pint glass. I’m not sure if it was a bad keg, bad lines, or just the beer, but this was nothing special. Holy diacetyl this tastes like butterscotch candy.
