Found this one bottled in Stevens Point, Wisconsin. Reddish, copper color, nice thick mouthfeel, balanced with a pleasant nuttiness. Very good!

On tap at the Argus in Madison, WI., and dispensed to a shaker showing a hazed, brownish amber, off white, creamy head foam, and a nicely clingy, sprayed appearance to the lacing. The aroma was mainly mid-fruit as apricot or peach, some light sweetness, and smooth malt. The flavor added medium, earthy, but not overbearing hop bitterness and a light wisp of soapiness. Decently carbonated and basically sessionable.

This pours a mostly headless orange amber. It is a nice dry but still malty ale which is quite mild but w/o being entirely bland. It finishes w/ a woody bitterness. Maybe not a stand out but better than average.

Pours a clear, dark red with a short lasting white head. Aroma is bready and malty, but most apparent is a nutty scent. Taste is slightly hoppy. Nuts overpower other flavors, although bread, caramel, and malts are present. Buttery aftertaste. Altogether, the taste is somewhat weaker, as well as off. More of a watery palate.

12oz bottle. Rating #131. Clear dark amber color with a little brown mixed in and an off-white head. Nice hoppy aroma with a bit of caramel sweetness, real nice. Nice flavor as well, mild bitterness with a little more caramel. Nice stuff. (2272)

Bottle pours red-amber with a white head. Aroma is sweet with notes of caramel, nuts, and light florals. Flavor shows the same with additional notes of dried berry, apple, and grassy hops. Overall body is moderate and finishes with light to moderate bitterness.

Bottle. Pours a hazy amber with a foamy tan head. Aromas of floral hops and malt. Slightly sweet nutty malt flavor balanced well with hoppy bitterness. Medium bodied. Nothing too special; but alot better than some other ambers out there.

pint glass from bottle pour.. comes out a copper color, thin head, decent lacing on glass. aroma of caramel, fruit and faint hops. taste is malt dominated with some bitter hops in there as well. had high hopes for this one but it was nothing too special.

Amber with slight red tint. Light floral hops, caramel malt sweetness, and a tinge of plastic. Light caramel maltiness with soft, watery hop bitterness. Creamy mouthfeel.

Amber beer out of the bottle with a small, short lived off white head. Light grainy and nutty nose. Very easy drinking beer with malty sweetness, some raw grain and toast notes and a grassy bitterness in the finish. I find this style dull, but this is a good enough example.

Bottle poured into a pint glass. There’s a nutty sour taste that didn’t sit quite right with me. The buttery tone blurred out other aspects. It’s light and won’t make you cringe, but there weren’t many aspects that made me want to try it again.
