2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
A nice refreshing Amber Ale. Not a whole lot of character, maltiness, hoppiness etc, but very well balanced and enjoyable. Plus, they sell the big bottles at the Arizona Diamondbacks games for (only) 7.50. WAAAAY better deal than Bud Light at Comerica Park for close to the same price.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
UPDATED: JUL 28, 2003 (7/28/03): Clear amber body. Medium sweet caramel aroma. Taste is malty, medium sweet and light caramel. Mild malty finish. While fairly flavorful, this beer is definitely designed not to offend.
(4/7/02): A nice beer, nothing particularly special, but one I can imagine drinking all night long. Mild bitter aroma succumbs to mild maltiness when you taste it. Amber hue, medium head. (6/4/7/3/14)
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Has a pretty decent whitish somewhat lasting head. The toasty malt is clear in the aroma. Clear amber in color. Toasty malt flavor. I don’t find this that remarkable. Slight hoppy aftertaste. Very drinkable.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
UPDATED: SEP 26, 2012 Very good brewery but I feel that this beer is slightly overrated by the masses. Strong malt which hits the back of the tongue.

UPDATED: APR 20, 2008 Getting worse every time I have it. Quality has really tanked over the last 8 years. Sub-par amber.
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Wow, I’m so unimpressed. I love New Belgium -- their Tripel and Abbay ales are very good. I’m not sure if it was the Texas heat (sampled in Dallas) but the malt was as bland as the hopping. Not even to brew pub standards.

wow! i’ve heard good things about this beer, and after trying it, i agree to all of them.

Your basic microbrew amber. There pretty much interchangeable--Bell’s, Fat Tire, Full Sail, the list goes on and on.
4.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
A very tasty amber ale. Not too heavy. It looked almost better than it tasted.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
A great amber. Nice malty flavor and aroma with a good balance of hops. Cool bottle!
