2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Deep amber, almost russet in colour with a good thick creamy head that clings to the sides of the glass. Smells distinctly caramel, redwood bark and... hmm. It’s difficult to pin point scents beyond candy sugar and golden syrup. Maple? Flavour strongly of the afore mentioned aromas. Cool, sweetish and only the subtlest of bitterness. Not an absolutely memorable ale if I’m honest.

This ls a little more maltier and less hops than the typical amber ale. The flavor is somewhat yeasty with an acidic tinge.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Flavor is sweet and malty, with a slightly bitter and quick finish. Decent brew, but nothing special about this one.

Pours a reddish brown one finger breadth head, Drinkable, not full of flavor, but well balanced with a dry short slightly bitter finish. Average ale .

Reddish copper, loose white head. Very bready, toasty aroma. Flavor is more bread, maybe a hint if grapey, fruity flavors.

Sample at KC Beerfest 10-22. Comes a hazy amber with a small biege head. Aroma of malt, caramel and some hops. Taste is malt, dark fruit, and mild hops. Pretty good.

Aroma: The nose on this beer is mostly made up of caramel malts and fruity notes
Appearance: The pour is a cloudy amber color with a beige head and some decent lacing
Flavor: The taste of this one is fairly sweet, fruity, and malty with a light bitterness to it
Palate: The body is light-medium, it has a fairly smooth mouthfeel, with a slight dryness the the finish
Overall Impression:
I thought this was a somewhat decent Amber. It isn’t anything particularly unique or memorable, but it works alright for what it is trying to be.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20
Tasted on 10/10/11 from a 12oz bottle. Pours dark red-amber with a very thick beige head that slowly recedes to rocky lace, leaving an even layer of thick residue along the inside of the glass. The nose has some malty bread and caramel, with some underlying herbal and citrus hops. The flavor is dominated by the bread and caramel malt, with just a hint of lightly bitter herbal and citrus hops underlying. The body is light with average carbonation and a medium malty and lightly bitter hops finish.
