This amber ale poured with a nice off-white head that lasted a while. There is a slightly sweet and fruity full caramel malt flavor with just enough hopping.to produce a tangible bitterness at the finish. Not the best best beer from this brewer, but worth a taste.

not a bad amber ale. most organics are still kind of crappy, this one isn’t so bad. i’ll try again if the price at whole foods comes down.

Sampled 10/15/08. This amber ale pours a deep amber color from a 22oz bottle. Medium to large sized white foamy head, with nice retention and decent retention. The aroma is malty, fruity with some hops. A medium bodied amber. The malts are caramely and not too sweet. A touch of fruitiness as well. The hops are fairly forward and somewhat piney. It not your typical sweet mess of malt amber, it seems to have some hops, malt character and body. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and dry. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.

Bottle courtesy of scrizzz. Pours a pretty clear deep red with a small white head. Flavor of sweet malt and light fruits. Flavor is light with nice fruitiness. Also a light spiciness that is really tasty. Definitely the best organic beer I’ve had (it’s a short list, but still). Nice amber with a spicy kick.

Bottle. Aroma of fresh, crisp, leafy greens, coffee-ish notes, caramel malt (increasing with time), sour apple, maybe a touch of pine? Flavor malty with a spicy hop edge and a good deal of earth. Very nice beer, and the first organic brew (admittedly out of VERY few) that has impressed me.

Very solid organic ale, hops balance and lend a small nip at the end. Also just a pretty pour.

Pours a hazy dark amber color from the bottle with an off-white head. Smells of appleseed and taste of red apples, caramel, and slight butter. Probably the best organic brew I’ve yet to taste.

I would never have purchased this beer, but found it in my 6 pack of Mothership Wit. I hate "organic" on a beer label. Classified as an amber but drinks like an IPA. Citrus "northwest" profile. Common for a micro.
