Commercial Description:
A slightly roasted malt gives it a light amber color. The rich flavor dominates the malt/hops balance and is very popular among most beer drinkers.

Bottom 16%? I don’t think so. The bottle alone should be good for more than that. My thought was of a very weak Irish whiskey. Not very hoppy, and maybe a taste of alcohol that would be hidden by the style. But this is a French beer, not a west coast American pale ale! Basically a mild, pleasant, mouth-fillling beer with not much of a finish. A little sour, a little malty, a little like a whiskey, without much hops, but nothing about it was off. Maybe not great bang for the buck in a New York I’ve learned more, maybe they’ve gone down hill. Moderate floral hops, almost a cliche, some caramel malt, but very little to recommend it. I switched pretty quickly to an adequate red table wine.

Pale yellow with a thin white head. Some grains, and grass in the aroma. Not much flavor, but this is not offensive. Not good, but better than expected.

Ok, lets get the cool bottle part out of the way first. You gotta like it. My first thought while pouring was motor oil. It is a very similar color. Of course, motor oil with a significant head! Actually a nice looking beer. The aroma didn’t really grab me. A mix of stale beer with over ripe fruit. However, there was nothing at all negative about the flavor or palate. Both were very enjoyable. The beer seemed to improve as the glass emptied. Such a pleasant brew, how can this be rated so low? A 16%? No way! It felt a premium beer in the mouth. This is NOT a 16%.

Amber colored, as one might expect from a beer called "Fischer Amber". Bready, yeasty aroma, with a surprising whiff of alcohol. Very smooth palate. Very sweet tasting - notes of fruit (figs?), with a winey, peppery finish.

This beer pours a very thin caramel color with a small, diminishing, offwite head. The nose is weak and, um, pilsner-esque (which sucks). This beer hardly tastes like an amber ale - it is far too light and fluffy. It comes across more like a pale lager. Once I got over the initial disappointment, however, the qualities of the brew - its very light and inoffensive fruitiness and its pleasant and silky mouthfeel - saved it from utter disaster.

This is currently my favorite beer (not that I’ve drunk that widely). What I adore about it (aside from the oft-mentioned masons-jar-like bottle) is the intense aroma as soon as it is opened. It doesn’t have a trace of bitterness without being sugary in the least. I love it.

Nice amber color. Sweet taste and hides the alcohol really well. Takes extra bonus points for the bottle :)

This wasnt a bad amber ale. I really like the bottle and the way it was packaged. As for the beer it was sweet and malty which is nice. Not a bad beer but not that good
