Aug 12, 2007 On the thin side of being medium bodied. WAY too much fresh nut and wood in the malt. Tastes un-ripened which gives is a strong tart finish without enough character to make up for the poor malt showing. Really a sham to call this a scotch ale.

Aug 10, 2007 I agree with biznizness: Why does every microbrewery think they must make an amber? Is there that much demand for them in a world where craft brew fans are mostly stouties, hopheads or fruities? Points to ponder. I had this on tap at the brewery last summer, and remember it being very average, with nothing that really stood out.

Aug 9, 2007 Please remind me, someday when I am a brewpub owner, that it really is not necessary to brew and bottle a pale ale, and esb, and an amber ale. I think some of that energy is better spent trying something more adventurous and creative.

Aug 5, 2007 Bottle, pours an light cloudy copper color, with a light tan head, that lasts nicely. An ok brew but a bit watery, moderate hops, not but, but nothing special.

Aug 4, 2007 This beer was a little disappointing, considering it is a Great Divide beer. It lacks the subtle sweetness that other ambers can deliver and sneaks in a bitter aftertaste.
