VENOM (941), Connecticut, USA Oct 27, 2002 Clear light amber. Thick, sticky off white head. Minimal carbonation. Interesting mix of Munich malt toastiness, grassy hops with a kiss of citrus. Medium light body. Dry malt base. Hint of roasted caramel but a dominant toasted aspect. A strange combo of flavors, but nice and drinkable. GTown (126), New York, USA Sep 1, 2006 Outstanding amber from an unknown brewery. Appearance is ideal for the style. Hops are just right, and fruit additions are moderate, albeit a nice touch. LilBeerDoctor (442), East Setauket, New York, USA Apr 21, 2008 On tap at the Colgate Inn. Pours a deep red/amber with a small white head. Aroma of a nice framboise lambic. Flavor of light fruits, rhubarb, and a nice malt base. A decent beer. After trying this, I was shocked to see the low rating it gets...I thought it was quite good. PhillyBeer2112 (1836), Orange Park, Florida, USA Oct 28, 2007 Draft, 1812 amber at Harry’s, Tallahassee FL. A very nice amber, about as good as the style can be. Featured a grassy peppery hop (Britishy) with a mildly caramelized bready malt with a medium mouthfeel. Reminded me of fresh Bass Ale to a degree. Clean presentation, fresh. Good partner to food and good for sessions. RblWthACoz (959), Brooklyn, New York, USA Feb 5, 2008 Pours a foggy amber with a thin crème head. Nose doesn’t have much to it really. Sweet and malty. Flavor is bodied, but not a whole lot of character. Well rounded enough, but just no real kicker. Smooth feel with a bit of an almost syrup like edge to it. Nice to drink. A bit too sticky on the feel and lacking in noticeable character, but nice enough to try.
