Bottle from brewpub.
Pours an average thin corn yellow and a lively carbonated body. Aroma is plastic corn. Flaovr is sour plant water with bits of plastic corn sprinkled in for bad measure. Mouthfeel is slightly tingly but thin. Amber? More like a weak pilsner.

Bottle poured a clear amber with a minamal white head. Biscuity aroma. Light carmel flavor not much else though. This is my least favorite Estes Park beer so far.

From a 12 oz. bottle with no freshness date, in the upper right hand corner of the label are the words "Amber Ale." Poured a cloudy amber hued golden orange with a fizzy, bubbly head, not very impressive. Aromas of mineral water, a punch fruity and a subtle sweet caramel. Poor carbonation for the style, and a softly crisp, watery medium bodied mouthfeel. Watery, bland tasting, watery caramel, a sickly sweet cheap punch fruitiness, a hidden grassy hoppiness, almost no bitterness, and watery caramel with a hint of chocolate finish. For me, a very disappointing ale, the drinkability is as low as you can get, will avoid in the future.
