12 ounce bottle pours a clear coppery amber body with a small beige head that drops into some patchy lacing. Aroma is malty caramel with hints of red apple and spicy hops. Body begins light medium but thins considerably as it warms. Taste is sweet caramel, balanced by spicy and floral hop bitterness and an earthiness that lasts into the aftertaste. A decent amber but not very exciting.

bottle thanks to ericandersnavy. gold pour with a hint of ruby. nose is very fruity with a hint of caramel. not bad on the palate with a caramel flavor backed with subtle hops.

Amber pour and smell of sweet malty caramel. Sweet flavor with bittersweet finish and lots of hops. Decent version of a middling style.

Bottle. Decent amber ale. Pours clear, amber orange with a medium, white-yellow head. Caramel malt aroma with some cereal and earthy hops. Flavor is sweet with more caramel, grains, light fruit with mild citrus hops in the finish. Light to medium in body, with the alcohol blended in nicely. Not terribly dynamic, but quite good.

Bottle, thanks to nbutler11. Thanks Nick! Pours clear orange, thin off-white head, solid lacing. Nose is light red fruit, some hops, a bit of candy, light spice. Flavours are well balanced, with lots of spicy fruit, great hop notes, though they are soft. Overall, a pleasant brew that I would like to try on tap.

TPSA. Color is a dark orange-red, almost bricky around the edges. Dark fruit and sweetness on the nose; there’s a maple note to it that I kind of like. Tastes of oolong, coffee, and a touch of spice; there’s a bit of maple sweetness again, and good hops on the finish. It kind of bridges the gap between amber/red ales and American IPAs, and that works for me.

A bottle at Rover, Gothenburg. Amber clear beer with a offwhite head. Fruity, malty, butterfudge aroma. Fruity sweet flavour.

Thick mouthfeel with ample maltiness tempered by a significant hop kick. Caramel dominates the aroma, but hints of mint and resin peek through. Ends with a long bittersweet fade.

This poured a dark copper color with a beige head. The aroma is faint with some dark fruit and caramel. The flavor is a bit odd with some cooked veggies, caramel, and citrus. Overall like mixing a shot vodka in a standard issue amber ale. Overall ok but careful IT’LL GET YA DRUNK!

Thin head of varying sized bubbles. Moderate malty aroma with some tart cherries and a bit of boiled vegetables. Color is a nice ruby red. Flavor is a bit dry and chalky with some more mild cherries and sweet malts. Mild alcoho lpresence. A decent brew.
