Serve in English pint, Thistle

This ale poured a deep amber colour with a quick living, soapy, off white colour head. To the nose there are scents of ripe fruit, caramel malt, floral hops and apples. First taste was smooth and slightly watery with medium carbonation. Very malty flavour with other flavours of flowers, grass and light citrus. Finish is lightly bitter with a pancake syrup flavour lingering.

Bottle at home. Amber brown with small creamy beige head. Aroma a bit caramel malty and fruity, with a bit of spice. Slightly bitter taste with more malt, a bit roasty and a bit sweet.

Draft at Odell. Pours a deep copper with a thin offwhite head that dissipates. Nose is caramel and plum, soft maltiness and faint note of floral hops. On tasting, more caramel and dark fruits, prune? Soft and clean with a sweetness that is just barely balanced by a slight bitterness. Pretty solid overall.

Clear amber colour, white head. Malty aroma with caramel, grapefruit, honey. Watery palate, decent sweet flavour with spices.

From bottle. Pours deep mahogany red with thin white head. Malty aroma. Taste is chocolate, malty, caramel, slight hop, slight metallic. It’s decent

This is just a solid beer. Good balance of malts and hops. Very clean finish. Most beers have this on tap in town, so I can have it as a substitute for my favorite IPA’s... which in nebraska there are very few

On tap at Falling Rock. Pours with a clear amber body with a tan head. Aromas are cereally, grainy, caramel, lightly bready. A touch of ester and mild smoke. Pretty clean overall. Flavors are malty, rainy, cereal and bready. A bit bitter for the style. Medium bubbles with a nice roundness.

Really nice for an amber ale. A little more complexity than most with a nice aroma, lots of malt. Taste is also a long lasting balanced sweetness. Refreshing.
