sampler tray. Orange copper, clear. Butterscotch and mild resinous hop character, fairly malty. Nice.

Appearance was clear amber brownish with creamy off white diminishing 1 finger head , no lacing. Aromas was ryeish malts with slight hops present, no alcohol present. Taste was sweet malt upfront with the citrusy hops backing in. Palate was smooth creamy carbonation with medium body and slight hoppy finish. Local brewery yeah... poured@GVFB vegas.

Draught at Chicago Brewing Company. Dark almost red brown colour with a slight beige head of foam. Malty caramel aromas with a hint of vanilla in the background and a flavour to match. In the mouth it was full with a good body and texture.

Draught sampler. Orange-red colour. Malty with some hoppiness. Very straightforward, yet nicely balanced and enjoyable.

Clear orangey amber appearance. Mild biscuity nose. Light palate, biscuity, some toasted dryness.

I had this beer a while back and from what I can remember I enjoyed it. I’ve had this at the pub/brewery so it was fresh. Nothing special about it is popping into my head at the moment.

Draught at the brewpub. Reddish brown, small head. Light vanilla aroma.- Mid sweet with medium body and clean, rounded mouthfeel, Lightly roasty with salty finsh. A clean, drinker friendly beer, pretty much as typical US brewpub beer as it gets.

On tap at the Four Queens location and poured to a clear, reddish amber hue, minimal, off white, head foam that reduced to a persistent ring and film, and left some thin strands and spots of lacing. The aroma was lightly toasted, light fruit sweetness, smooth malt, and some light caramel. The flavor was similar in good balance. On the light side, but flavorfully sessionable.

Amber pour with small white head. Taste was lots of malts and mild hops but nice balance. Aroma was malty and not much else. Medium sticky pallet. Overall EH!

On tap at Four Queens. Pours a clear copper amber with a medium frothy off white head that lasts awhile leaving good lacing along the glass. The aroma is a piney hops with caramel. Medium mouthfeel with a sweet malt and a nice toasty finish. Easy to drink a good Amber ale from Chicago Brewing.

Draught at the 4 Queens labeled as Red Rocker but same description word for word. Really kinda boring amber ale with nothing spectacular. Seemed kinda muddled all together and a little dull. Did not really showcase the NW hops or the multiple barley varieties.
