Jan 27, 2010 12oz bottle, sample from the brewer. Pours a deep reddish amber, mostly clear with a small off white head. Nose is fairly hoppy with floral, citrus and grassy undertones. A fair amount of caramelized malt in the background as well.

Jan 17, 2010 11th October 2008. GABF. Clear broen beer. Crisp palate. Quite malty, left me with the impression it wants to be a barleywine when it grows up!

Dec 9, 2009 One of the better amber ales. Nice hop bitterness, and a pretty dark red color. More body than many amber ales.

Dec 7, 2009 Very underrated! Nice amber pour. I noted a malty nose and then was pleasantly surprised to find a sharp bitter/malt taste that lingered after the mix had hit the stomach.

Dec 2, 2009 Bottle in a pint glass. Pours dark brown. Aroma is floral and spicy. Taste is full of a dark molasses malt. Decent feel in the mouth and finish.

Nov 25, 2009 12oz – The Wine Source. Dark hazed amber, creamy off white head. Soft citric-herbal aromas warm to light undercurrents of toasted toffee and chocolate. Well balanced with soft citric iced tea notes rounding with a faint minty cocoa flavor. Light to medium bodied, soft carbonation, light bitter finish. A sessionable beer for a spicy dish pairing…

Nov 22, 2009 Location: 12 oz bottle from Gilly’s, 11/22/09
Aroma: Nose is made up of resin, toffee, caramel, floral notes, and toasted malt
Appearance: This one pours a murky caramel-brown with a fizzy tan head
Flavor: The taste is sweet early on, and then flows into a hoppy/bitter finish
Palate: Somewhat lengthy finish, average carbonation, and a light-medium body
Overall Impression:
Overall, this is a pretty decent Amber, a nicely balanced and lengthy flavor with a nice mix of malts and hops. Together they make for a very solid brew that is very drinkable, and pretty enjoyable as well. A nice example of the Amber Ale style.
