3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Copper color with a white head. Aroma is malty with some caramel. Flavor contains some caramel and citrus. Good balance on this one. Overall above average for the style.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
On tap at the brewery, Asheville NC, 7 July 2006. Dark amber/copper colour. Reasonable amount of caramel malt. Like the pilsner, clean and crisp. Reasonable balance but the body felt a little thin. An easy-drinking and pleasant, if not particularly exciting, beer. Not sure why it is down as an Amber Ale as I thought it was a lager.

This is quaffable, not really anything special. Some light caramel sweetness, just a touch of roastiness with a hint of bitterness in the finish.

2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
D-raft at the UJ’s. Pours a solid amber red which is seen through easily. The aroma is delicate of pear and leaves with a hint of caramel type sweetness. As I was expecting, this is quite light on the palate and crisp. It’s got a leafy, caramel-infused taste with hints of corn on the cob in the finish and just a medium level of bitterness. Fair enough.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
On draft at Barley’s in Asheville. Clear amber color with a medium-lasting white head. Nice caramel malt aroma with some spicy hops. Flavor was also well hopped without being overpowering. I had a hard time figuring out if they were going for the Marzen or just a plain Amber lager. To me it sort of defies either style, but is still a tasty brew.
3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draught. Clear copper color with thin off white head. Spicy, metallic hop nose and flavor. Moderately carbonated, crisp, and a bit bitter. Decent beer, true to style.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Draught. Pours a clear, medium-copper color with a white head that leaves reasonable lacing. The aroma is faint hops and seems a bit astringent. The palate is a bit fizzy, but has a comfortable density. I taste hops first, then the malt works its way into the finish. Also, as the beer warmed to room temperature, it got a bit cardboard-y.
