I’m really surprised this has such a low rating. I thought it was a fantastic amber. I guess I'll have to try it again to verify my ranking. IMO, another fine brew by Live Oak.

Buttery, diacetyl, a bit like a bohemian pilsener in that respect. Grainy, astringent and a little fruity. Disntinctly pruney at times, woody at others. Some straw. Nicely bittered, great with food, bronze and clear. Cherry biscuit finish. I really liked this a lot -- didn’t know what style it was, but I would have guessed that it was alt. Live Oak is a new fave brewer.

Good head and lace, nice flavor, no after taste, no notable features. Really smooth going down and a great way to end the day!

To me this is their "middle of the road" brew. But at least they know how to drive in style. It is a tad too non- offensive, but I think that is te idea - to get a beer out there that will grab the crowd that doesn’t go for an IPA. Nicely balanced with plenty of flavor and balance.
