A good amber but maybe a little to weak. I like a little more malt and hops in my Amber Ales. Not strong on the finish. Good color and nose but not quite?

Wow -- I think this is the most carbonated beer I’ve ever had. Pours to a dark carmel color with a huge head. Aroma of malt. Tasts of malt, smoke, and hops. Very foamy mouthfeel. Not a bad amber. I agree with others that said it is unbalenced, though.

Pours a nice hazy orange with a light tan head. Has a nice fruity aroma with some malt and pine. Flavor is very smooth and a thick palate, with notes of hops, friuit, lemon, and caramel. I would buy it again.

This was a pretty easy to drink beer but somewhat unbalanced. There is a ton of caramel maltiness, and a decent piny hoppiness, but has a very light body.

[Bottle - Johns Market Portland Oregon]
A dark amber color brew with a thick white foamy head. There is a strong malty presence with a light hops aroma. Loved the malty Big malty flavor. Sweet carmel and a tad sharp. Could use more hops and a little less malt. Good easy drinking beer.

dense and thick brown body with a veritable plethora of yeasty sediment, huge rocky head that quickly disapears, yeasty raisin nose, sweet caramelized flavor, slightly roasty, sharp and pointy malts, yeasty belgian zest, something in here actually gives my mouth a numbing feeling, like eating cloves, i don’t understand what that could be from but i like it

Bottle: Amber, slight haze, large dishwater like head, off-white, spotty lacing, strong carbonation.   Wet grain on the nose, very slight kilned grain.   Cardboardy maltiness to start, fairly grainy, slightly sweet.   Body and mouthfeel are moderate.   Grainy finish, slightly earthy.   Not as sweet or smooth as I like.   Boring...

3.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 IndianaRed (1799) - Boise, Idaho, USA - SEP 23, 2004
Bottle Pours a clear copper/amber witha nice full light tan head. Aorma is a nice malt, and brown sugar. Not much hops, and also a bit of banana or pear. Flavor is mainly woody and cardboard. The dark malts come through and attempty to salvage some assembelance of flavor. Finish is dry and grassy with ust \hint of hops.
