This was a lot better on tap than from the bottle, but still a solid amber ale. (Ratings based on bottle). Solid flavor with an weak, earthy aftertaste. Not too sweet and smooth.

Bottle pours orange copper with off white beige head. Smell is very sweet, grainy with a dark clover honey sweetness. Taste is very grain based with less sweetness than nose. Very smooth the hops come to play the more it warms giving it a nice depth, some light herbal spice, though it stays with the grain back bone. There is a touch of the chocolate malt in finish with a tiny but of lingering hop spice and fizzy carbonation that makes the grain really pop but it is a little dry on the palate too. This is probably the best amber ale I’ve had to date.

Sweet on the nose Taste is slightly less sweet than the scent. Faint trace of hops Appearance is beautiful dark amber. very clean. Slightly thick head Very drinkable, but not a favorite

Hands down this is one refreshing amber ale! This brew pours up a dark copper-colored body sporting a frothy two-finger thick tan-colored head that has good retention and lacing effects. Served fridge-cold this brew produced scents of apricots, toasted malts and a very slight citrus-y/hoppy note. It has a very crisp/smooth feel with lots of spices, apricots, caramel, malts and finishes up with a slight hoppy bite.

12oz bottle. Pours a reddish brown amber color, with a half inch whitish head that fades quickly. The aroma is primarily floral hops with spice and malt in the back ground. Starts off with a mellow malt flavor. Hops build slowly and leave a slightly bitter finish. Nice balance of sweet and bitter. Lingering pleasant bitter aftertaste. Medium body, crisp and zesty carbonation.

Light clear coppery color with a small bubbled white head. Strong lacing. Aroma of sweet toffee, and apple. Soft mouthfeel. Ends very mellow. Nice balance.

Pours clean copper brown with one finger of sandstone had. Bready biscuity nose with some toasted grain coming through. Sweet caramel and herbal hops. Sweet toasted grain with a slight citrus rind hop character. Medium body and slight bite.

Pours a dark amber with a small frothy white head. Nose is sweet, popcorn sans butter, iced tea, very light earthy hops. Flavor is similar with sweetness balanced pretty well by a mild floral bitterness. A tad grainy as it warms. Drinkable.

THIS BEER IS AMAZING JUST THE THING YOU NEED WHEN U ARE ON THE BACK PORCH ON A SUMMER DAY AND DIDN’T BREAK THE BANK CAUSE IT WAS THE RIGHT PRICE BUT IF ITS FULLSAIL WATCH OUT THEY LIKE TO GO ALL THE WAY WHEN I COME TO ALCOHAL %. &&&&&& DON’T BELIEVE A BREWERY WHEN THEY SAY IT COSTS THIS MUCH TO MAKE ITS BULLSHIT THEY JUST WANT YOUR MONEY PLEASE!!!!!!!&#

Deep copper color. Very pretty. Aroma is slight malt with some wet hay. Taste is malty, slight brown sugar, with just a faint suggestion of hops on back palate. Overall is a well structured and technically adept beer. But perhaps a tad too academic, wish it would let loose a little more
