Skyview (2933), Papoose Jct., Minnesota, USA Mar 26, 2008 On draught at the brewpub in Whitewater, Wisconsin. Pours a clear copper amber brew with a thin off-white head that quickly dissipates to a fine film and white ring. Aroma of light caramel malt, grassy hops and a touch of dried dark fruits. Taste is medium bodied, some light carbonation with a light fruity character with flavors of caramel malt and a nice balance of grassy and flowery hops. Finish is slightly dry, light, crisp, with a light dry hop aftertaste. Not as strong malt flavor as most of their beers but still a decent light amber. thurvin (2), Illinois, USA does not count Oct 22, 2007 good session beer. drinkable, nice color and good finish with a touch of fruity ester. 1FastSTi (2402), Glendale, Wisconsin, USA Feb 19, 2006 The beer pours to a light colored clear amber body. Creamy white head. Nice lacing. Too pale of a color of the body. The aroma has oranges and caramel malts. Grapefruit rind. The flavor is bordering on an "imperial red". Nice caramelly malts and oranges with light grapefruit rind. So much better than most ambers. I detect a medium-light body. amberale1 (16), Janesville, Wisconsin, USA Aug 26, 2005 Poured from the tap at Randys. Amber brown in color, good head at first then somewhat dimishing. Great, enjoyable beer, not "too dark" but not a "light" beer either. Perfect combination. Took home in a growler. StewardofGondor (1934), Washington Heights - Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA Aug 8, 2005 Should be categorized as an amber. Nevertheless...Transparent amber brown in color with a thin, warped, creamy tan head. Honey, hazelnuts, maple and brown sugar summarize the aroma, leading into a flavor profile that has all of the formalities of an amber ale: caramelized pecans, tree bark and a little chocolate. Fairly well balanced, and it’s always good to see when this style places as much importance on the malt make-up as they do on IBUs. Nutty cigar wrapper aftertaste. Decent.
