Dark amber; caramel, band-aid, earth, caramel on the palate. Simple. The phenols and slight oxidation indicate a sample past its prime (though still drinkable).

From the bottle. Nice solid beer. More maltier the hoppy. Poured with a good haed and lace.

Odd after taste, lot of hops.

Medium brown color, small head. Aroma is malty. This is a lighter bodied amber. Malts are nutty and slightly sweet. Hops are mild. The taste is a little thin, but it still a very drinkable beer. Mouthfeel is round. Finish is clean. Aftertaste is malty and slightly sweet.

On the pour a translucent deep burnished copper color with a mountainous head, creamy smooth in its texture, the lace magnificent sticky sheets that plaster themselves to the glass. Nose is mostly malt, but some ripe fruit and light caramel tones seep through. The opening taste is malt, the top light as a feather, the finish is bitingly acidic, the hops sparse, the aftertaste dry. As I expected, very “thin-waisted”, and lacking in substance that I personally require to consider a beer anything other than “Ordinary”. Ranks #856 on my current 1000 beer master list.

Smelled great and the taste didn’t disappoint either. Slight nutty flavor. I’d easily buy a case of this.

The signature Grand Teton brew with a pleasant nuttiness to its substantial malt and some faint hop edges. Decent stuff. I’d say it’s closer to an English pale than other American ambers, but I’m not much of a style guy.

Light amber orange, thin bodied, malty, decent, 3.2%.

balanced throughout. Roasted oat aroma balanced by excellent hop charecter. the balance continues as you take a sip, unfortunately the beer is rather thin do to the fact that it is 3.2

A very well balanced ale. A nice floral finish. A great all around beer. I can recommend this stuff with my head held up high.
