Dec 19, 2007 Updated: Feb 7, 2008Draught at Alioto’s, San Francisco (as Alioto’s Private Ale). Amber colour, clear, small head. Perfumy and lightly roasty. Light bodied with clean mouthfeel. Medium bitterness. A drinkable and well balanced beer, perhaps with overly simple malt character.

Dec 17, 2007 Solid pour here lighter amber, copper in colour. small head, almost seemingly no carb. Bites though. Nice smooth hop intro and bitter backdraft. Roasted malts take a reverse effect to the Imperial red and end out a well rounded brew.

Dec 5, 2006 Bottle: Amber color is perfect with a fluffy tanned head and solid lacing. Aroma is of roasted malt, sweetness, and hops. Taste is a rich maltiness, caramel, brown sugars, even a little fruitiness, and some light hops. Not overly hopped, thats for sure, but very solid flavor throughout. I was pleasantly impressed with this amber ale.
