2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
On tap at New Holland last week. Reviewed from notes.
Pours a moderate amber color with a thin off-white head and some good lacing. The nose carries a bit of bready malt without too much else. Slight bit of earthy hops. Flavor has an amber-malt base and a slight biscuity chewiness. Other than that, not much going on. Pretty plain. Light-medium body.

12oz bottle. Slear orange/amber color, thin off-white head, good lace. Soft carbonation, good dry texture, nutty aroma, nice hop note, sort of a caramel malt flavor. Light sweet and bitter taste, some salt/savoriness. OK, but not really interesting... I don’t think amber ales are really my thing

On tap at New Holland, pours a clear amber with a slight off white head and some lacing, the aroma was sweet with a touch of caramel and malt, the flavor has a very malty front with a slight finish of hops that comes through, fairly bland overall though.

Bottle: Fiery golden, clear, moderate to large foamy off-white head, spotty lacing, light carbonation. Pale malt nose, fairly non-descript otherwise. Seems slightly sweet. Somewhat of a stale malty flavor, very smidgen of vegetable. Low hop bitterness. Average body and mouthfeel. Finishes quick. Not bad, but a little boring overall. Could stand to be a little bigger. Thanks Kevin!
3.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pretty light amber color. Clear. Bland aroma and taste typical for the style. Light carmel taste, with some hops in after taste. I find the style a boring compromise between porters and IPAs.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
(Bottle, Oliver Twist, Stockholm) Amber colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, toasty nose with notes of dark bread, toffee and nuts. Malty, slightly toasty nose with nuts, caramel, dark bread and a spicy, slightly metallic bitterness in a fairly dry finish. Medium body. Tasty and well balanced. Quite nice.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Thin head of off-white bubbles. Light grainy and malty aroma with a bit of nuttiness. Color is a dark reddish amber. Some herbs and tea leaves and clean and smooth flavor with a good amount of dry bitterness at the end. A decent, easy drinking amber.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Serving: 12 oz. bottle from Total Wine Sterling. It pours a nice amber color with a small frothy, light tan head. The nose is slightly floral and nutty. The flavor leans towards the malt side with a good dose of nutty malt and some earthy hops. Straight forward bitterness on the back end. Prickly carbonation. A little caramel as the beer warms. A lingering light bitterness in the finish. Not bad. Lacks depth. A decent daily drinker.
