COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
100% malted barley gives this classic ale a mild biscuit, toasted malt taste. This is a medium bodied beer with perfect balance of malt flavors. The color is a brilliant amber, while the aroma is slightly fruity and malty.

Nephilium (1164) - Ohio, USA - APR 1, 2009
Starts with a bready aroma, with a hint of sweetness behind it. Pour is a clear, reddish-amber, with just a dusting of head. Nice slightly sweet taste, hint of spice and a touch of bitterness in the finish. Medium mouthfeel. Very drinkable beer, pairs well with a nice dinner.

BrownALEx (149) - Portland, Michigan, USA - MAY 17, 2013
Pours a deep amber (weird!) with a thin head that vanishes quickly. Aroma is very malt based, no hop presence. Taste is bold for an amber, sweet and bready. Palate is full of lively carbonation. Overall I was pleasantly suprised by this, after reading the reviews I didn’t expect much. This is a very good beer. Will buy again and you should too. Dust.

I like this beer. Very malty, but a little soapy flavored. Cloudy, nice color, and pleasant smelling.

DiarmaidBHK (2390) - Pennsylvania, USA - APR 29, 2013
Bottle from Appalachian vintner. Pouts amber with a thin khaki head. Slight fruitiness on the nose which gets bigger as it warms. A bit malty on the tongue. Finishes clean. Eh!

Dobre, mocno mętne, bursztynowe. Metnosc w tym amber Ale mnie zaskoczyla, nie spodziewalem sie tego. Wielki plus za to. Smak takze maslano-slodowy z lekka nuta karmelu. Piana takze wysoka i spora.

umich03jm (984) - Allen Park, Michigan, USA - MAR 27, 2013
Bottle. Pours a slightly cloudy light amber color with a small head that fades quickly. Aroma is fruity, but kinda artificial fruity, like fruit loops. Some malt comes through too. Taste is awful. Fruity and stale, maybe a touch skunky. Fizzy carbonation is bad too. Drain pour.

harrisoni (11023) - Ashford, Kent, ENGLAND - MAR 16, 2013
33cl bottle from The Bottle Shop, Canterbury. Hazy cloudy amber colour with thick beige head. A malty beer. Not huge hop. More like a British bitter to be honest. Ok, if not very exciting.

hayduke (2963) - Eureka, California, USA - MAR 1, 2013
The was from a trade box from Strykzone. Poured from a 12 oz bottle it was an amber color with some brown added. Head was off white, moderate in size, and lacing moderate. Nose of malt with some nuts and fruit. Medium in body. The flavor is big on malts but the nuts and some passion fruit appear. The finish kind of tails off like a lot of ambers. Overall among ambers this one holds its own among the difficult to brew style.

ContemplateBeer (1176) - Louisville, Kentucky, USA - FEB 11, 2013
UPDATED: FEB 12, 2013 Aroma of some nuts, toast; maybe a touch of apple or other light fruits. Appearance is rich copper body with slight tan head. Flavor matches the nose; the nut/toast theme is prevalent here with a bit more of a lemony hop presence, which seemed out of place here. Palate is medium, creamy and soft. A standard amber.

maneliquor (1701) - Perth, AUSTRALIA - JAN 28, 2013
Bottle from Mane Liquor. Meh. Very average. Bland stale caramel malts with watery muddled notes. Not worth a go
