2.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
12oz poured into a pint glass. Pours a lovely amber orange with a light but frothy white head. Aroma is fairly pleasant with candied cirtus and sawdust. Honestly, this is the first beer that I have had in a while where I grimaced on the first sip. Body is cloyingly sweet with hops and what strikes me as amateurish extract like flavors. Body is also on the flat side revealing a not so pleasant experience. Hopefully the other 2 beers in my mixed case reveal something better from fullpint.

Bottle. Pretzel, salty dough scent over a bronze, frothy filmed, pour. A medium bodied, slightly sticky finishing textured feel. Medium strength amber flavor or grain, slightly bready, flavor.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
12 oz bottle from The Beerhive in Pittsburgh. Just average with nothing remarkable to mention in taste or uniqueness. Could have used a few more ingredients to boost up a rather flat taste and thin body. No need to go back for a second.
3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
12 oz bottle, notes only. Amber pour with white lacing. Aroma and taste flat amber malt. Don’t remember getting much out of this one.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Poured into a pint glass.
3.5 A: Clear orange amber color. A little over one finger of frothy off-white head. Retention is a touch below average and a small ring of lacing is left.
4.0 S: This smells just like a tasty brown ale. Big toastiness and nuttiness. Dry graininess. Very, very little caramel. Earthy hops.
4.0 T: Tastes like a brown too. Again, toastiness and nuts abound. Dry graininess and a touch of caramel. Earthy hops. Pretty much the same as the nose.
3.5 M: Ligher medium body. Active carbonation that comes off slightly biting. Low creaminess. Otherwise, fine.
3.5 D: Not much of an amber ale, but a good beer nonetheless.

3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
12 oz bottle. Pours a clear copper body with a small fizzy off-white head that left a bit of clingy lace. The nose is pretty standard Amber Ale stuff, some slightly grainy malt, light cereal, minimal hoppiness. The flavor is a little weak and watery with a husky finish, not much in the way of hops. Light bodied and thin with fizzy carbonation. Not a whole lot to say about this one, pretty boring all around.
