Crisp, clean, very refreshing. Don’t get scared off by ’Heineken’ on the label, this is a good beer.

Foamy head, even out of the bottled version. A clean, all-day drinker.

The more I try Ambers, the less I like them. That’s not an indictment against this beer, as this is one of the best I’ve had. The color matches the style perfectly with its beautiful amber glow. The head died rather quickly, but the grainy taste normally present in ambers is not here. In its place is a slightly sweet, yeasty flavor. Slight hop finish could be stronger. If I liked amber beer, this would probably be a favorite of mine.

I had this on tap at Clark’s in Syracuse and it was incredible. The cans just aren’t as good. Watered down mouthfeel despite the nice appearance. Still maintains a nice roasted coffee flavor. Mellow and good with dessert.
