Small offwhite head, short lived, no lace to speak of. Beautiful clear amber color. Malty, slightly metallic nose, hints of toffee. Medium body. Caramel malt flavors, some butterscotch with a hint of hops. Finish is fairly dry. Thanks to my wife for grabbin this up when she was in Joisey. Brewed by River Horse.

From 12 oz bottle. Small head that had some decent staying power and a touch of lacing. The beer itself is a nice brown. The carbonation lasted longer than I expected. First sip gives a touch of caramel sweetness and a nice bitter flavor, the latter of which lasts nicely into the finish. Good beer and goes at a better price than more expensive ones of its caliber.

Thin head which does not last long. Strange aroma. Smells a little musty. Maybe some peat in there also with a bit of hops spiceness. Color is a very nice dark amber. Flavor is a little biscuity with a decent amount of hops and roasted malts. Flavor is a little thin though. Finish is dry and slightly bitter. A decent ale from the good ole' state of New Jersey.

Pours amber/orange, with a caramel aroma. Taste is caramel and hops. The body is thin. Better than the BMC’s, but not realy good either.

Dusty, wheat aroma. Color is a clear amber. Decent chunky head. Flavor is thin with a good bit if maltiness. Finish is suprisingly well rounded. I could get used to drinking this beer.

Pours a deep clear amber with a small off-white head. Aroma of grain and caramel. The flavor is mostly toasted and chocolate malt with notes of caramel and toffee. The finish has some moderate peppery hop bitterness. Medium body with lively carbonation. No lacing left on the glass, not much head retention. Even though there’s nothing special about this brew, I feel it’s malt character has more to offer than most amber ales.

Pretty good ale. Aroma was like rotten apples, and it seemed to lave large bubbles in the glass when poured, which made me wonder if I’d made a bad choice. But the flavor & finish was OK. Not best of breed, but a decent beer.

This was fair...it is kind of cheap though...and very local to where I am. I’ll grab a six of this over the macros any day and display my pride in local beers

Light golden, short head and lacing. Sweet caramel bready malts were the predominant flavor - light hop bitterness in the finish. Body was grainy - like granulated sugar - this added to the seemingly overly sweet tastes.

Pours a light copper with a thin white head, some vegetable notes in the aroma with the patented microbrew malty aroma. Flavor has some ripening vegetable notes with some faint caramel notes. Decent, but fades fast. Thanks to Aurelius for this.
