4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
This beer surprised me. First of all, because I picked it up en route to grabbing some old favorites and two, because it was so good. This reminds me of Michelob Amber Bock without the "funny" taste. Pours out to a dark amber in the glass with a slight head. Good malty aroma followed up by a nice, malty sweet taste. The aftertaste is even good with this one and is sweet, but not overly so. I think I may have found a new session beer. Very drinkable.

Another nice Michigan Amber. Pours amber (read: surprise!) with a thin tan/white head. There is a slight hint of candy in the flavor and aftertaste, which is largely grainy malt. I may be suffering from Amber withdrawal; I do not remember enjoying the style as much as I do now prior to my ratebeer days.

Dark, rich, and malt balanced. A fine beer.

A nice Amber, Medium to full bodied with a medium sized beige head. Pleasant malt aroma. Nice malty taste that is sweet but not overly so, with a touch of hops in the finish. a nice very drinkable beer.

I guess this is what I’d really like to think and Amber Ale is. No its not an ale that is brewed with amber ale malts and hopped so much that you can’t taste the malt and no its not my favorite style. The flavor is carmelly and lightly hopped with American hops. It is translucent amber in color. Mildly sweet malty flavor amd finish. This would make a really good session beer.

Ah, the first one. Of the few Founders brews I've had, this is my favorite so far. Pretty sweet, there are hints of fruit, but most of the flavor is malt. The finish is a little stronger than the other Founders I've had. All and all, an enjoyable beer.
