Commercial Description:
Copper in color and big in taste, this robust well-balanced Amber Ale is the perfect yard work companion. Broken Rake's noble hop finish elegantly balances the assertive malt overtones, making it a great way to welcome Autumn.

Hops: Hallertau Hersbrucker

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.

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

Pours with weak short lived head, but deep reddish amber color. Aroma reminds me of butterscotch, one of my favorite flavors. The flavor is full malt at first with respectable limey hops and a carmelly aftertaste. Almost a dessert beer.
