2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle. Nice amber color with a tan head. Aroma was sweet of caramel and hops. Taste of caramel and bitter hops, but the aftertaste left a little copper feel. I think this was from the carbonation. Just ok overall.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours from the 12oz. bottle a bright copper color with a one-finger head that settles into a light collar with some lacing on the sides. Carbonation is quite active. This beer has a really nice full aroma of caramel malt with a little biscuity, spicy yeast thrown in for good measure. 1st sip brings the caramel and biscuit notes with a touch of honey, then the hops appear subtly on the back end. The mouthfeel is solid with a hint of carbonation sparkle on the tongue. The drinkability factor is very good...i’d have zero problem polishing these off one by one while watching a ballgame. Overall, a solid, tasty offering to sip & savor. I’ll be getting more of this!

They have this classified as an APA, probably because it doesn’t really fit any other style. Dark. A little hoppy.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 13/20
Presentation: It was poured from a brown 12oz bottle into a pint glass.
Appearance: The body has a beautiful deep amber color with good clarity. Its head builds up to a nice white 2 inch collar of foam. This head slowly fades but keeps a small covering to the end and on the way down the glass it leaves some spotty slick lace.
Smell: It has a light aroma with a mild bready and caramel sweetness. Hop notes are very faint and distant.
Taste/Palate: On the tongue I get a bready and caramel character with a touch of fruity sweetness and some raw grain towards the finish. A slight floral and earthy hop presence gives it a snappy balanced finish. With its medium body and balanced carbonation it is an easy drinker.
Notes: Overall its nice average Amber Ale with great drinkability.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Poured into a pint glass. Color is kind of an odd cloudy orange brown with a thin off white head. Aroma is caramel malts, a hint of chocolate, and some smokiness. Flavor is a mix of sweet maltiness and some hop bitterness. This combination creates a smoky flavor overall - reminds me of a Scotch ale. Overall a good beer just not at all what I was expecting from the description.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Looks like cloudy iced tea in a glass with a medium sized off-white head. It has a roasted, nutty aroma with hints of caramel. The flavor comes off as bready with a touch of fruitiness, while the beer itself is a nice consistency that stays with you for a little while. Overall, it’s a pretty standard amber ale flavor, though a little more subdued and highly drinkable.
