I’ve always liked a good Amber, this one certainly isn’t displeasing, but not the best seasonal.

A light malty aroma. Quite a bit of caramel in the aroma. Not aggressive in the flavor. Quite sweet with a bit of strength in the finish and a coatingness to it.

Pours a reddish amber color, with small off-white head. Aroma of caramel and sweet malts. Tastes sweet and malty (no surprise) and is pretty smooth. Pretty well balanced. I really enjoyed this beer, and though I wish it were available year round, it tastes like fall.

decent pour, light amber with a small to medium sized head. couldn’t pick up much of a nose though the flavor had caramel and citrus with some hops as well

Oct. 2007 - Chestnut amber color with half finger head and very little lacing. Aroma was rather nondescript malty. Flavor was nutty, roasty with a touch of caramel. Much less caramel than the typical amber. As it warmed some sweet citrus reminiscent of lemongrass emerged. Not bad!

Bottle sampled. Pours amber in color with a off-white head. Aroma of toasted malts, caramel, light citrus, and floral hops. Flavor is sweet malts, caramel, citrus and has a subtle hop finish
