Great amber from new Holland. Pours a beautiful amber color with a nice head. fades a little fast though. Smells like toasted grains and caramel. Smooth body with perfect weight. Flavors of swirling caramel and grain, very low hop profile, but it’s in perfect balance. Finishes clean and grainy, wonderful example of an amber ale

Damn I hate pilsners in general but for a light beer this was a fine one. I enjoyed a 6er with the iceman and i found this beer to be an enjoyable pilsner. So drink up and remember...dude he’s a fuckin petter-ass, he’s sex offender.

Draft in pint glass. Orange yellow color. Med carbonation. Biscuity malt with a slight toast hint. Much like an Irish red flavor. Med hop bitterness slightly spicy.

Very floral nose with a hint of wheat and sawdust. Pours well, amber. The tight stiff mostly lasting creamy white head leaves lovely webby lace. This brew has really decent depth. Honestly I wasn’t expecting much, but it delivers big in the flavor department. Amber ale has to be the most wide open style IMO; definitely like a box of chocolates. Starts well balanced with light acidity, the finish is bold and toasty and hangs around long after the last swallow. The full body is creamy and soft to lively. The finish feels dry. Thanks to my roomate Scott for looking out for me with such a great hookup.

Very nice Amber. New Holland beers have been very good to date. No bad bottles. Dark Amber color, nice hops and malt. Good gravity and full bodied flavor an amber should have. Not as big a gap between Anderson Valley Boont as the rating says there is. A gap yes but I think this is better than it current rating.

Poured a rusty amber from a 12 oz bottle resulting in an off-white head that didn’t last, but the lacing remained on the glass. I must be having problems with my nose, because I can’t smell anything yet I know it has an aroma because I can taste some of what should be smell. The flavor is of toasted malt initially, then some hop bitterness. Sharp carbonation and a rusty/metallic flavor at the end. The aftertaste is dry - it takes away all the slick texture in my mouth. I like this combination of malt and hops.
