Perfectly balanced bitter and sweet caramel. Seems slightly fizzy for its style. Short-lasting head.

Boy, what a nice beer. Beautiful, mostly clear amber color. Sweet aroma with a hint of hop. The flavor profile is dominated by malt sweetness up front, balanced with fresh dose PNW hops, and leaves a lingering spiciness. I would love to have this beer on tap and drink it all night long. Many thanks to ecrvich.

Dark amber color, with very light head which dissapates quickly. You can really smell the hop, much more than in most ambers. The taste has some sweet carmel to begin, but balanced well with hops. Overall a very easy drinking beer.

Another beer from Mjames. I can see why Oregon is such a great beer state now. No disappointments so far. This again, is a very nice beer. Smooth crisp, sweet, little bitter undertone to make it perky and get your attention. Feels like your drinking a beer with some gravity. Very nice, I like it very much.

Pours the color of a new penny. Small light beige head dissipates in a few minutes; smell is nice, light fruit and hops. Great flavor. Tastes sweet at first and finishes dry with an alcohol kick. A really nice amber.

This was my favorite on our recent Western excursion - taste like the best hearty, rich grain and nut breads with a pleasant drying hops finish. Absolutely beautiful, too - a deep reddish orange that hints at the earthiness of the brew itself. Yumm!

I must say I like Amber’s, this tastes more like a Pale I found.
