Medium fruity esters. Minimal hop. Flavors are estery, raisins, grainy, toasty and nutty. No hop character and bitterness only to balance. Dry malt character, much more toasted than caramelized (which I appreciate). Medium bodied with a dry finish.
I’m surprised that I actually somewhat like this amber ale (a style I don’t much care for). Much better than anticipated.

Pours clear amber with a small tan head. Notes of light biscuit and caramel, but not much else.
3.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Mahogany/amber color with thin white head. No real aroma maybe slight grain. Flavor is malty with a hunt of biscuit. Very clean but kind of unassuming. Not bad.

Can poured a dark chestnut color with a covering of off white head. Aroma has sweet malt, caramel, and very light hops. Mouth feel is medium and there is medium low carbontion. Flavor has caramel malt, nuts, and faint bitter hops. Odd.

Its not pretending to please the hop zombies but a little more than biscuit flavor would be nice. An easy summer drinker but nothing that smacks you with any enthusiasm. It would get a solid C+ in beer school. Kinda like being the tallest little person with half the attitude.

Smells like malt. Taste is very sweet, caramel like. Almost no bitterness, not really smelling much in terms of hops either. A mediocre beer.

Your basic amber. Think Killians. Another boring AZ beer. There has to be someone brewing interesting beer in this state, right? Fine... Inoffensive.

Tap - Pours clear brown with a thin bubbly white head. Nose is nutty malt, fairly dry and bready with a faint herbal hoppiness. Taste is the same, with emphasis on the dry nuttiness. Smooth and easy drinking, with a lightly bready aftertaste. Slick and medium bodied. Nothing special, but pleasant.

Amberish brown, thin ring of foam. Smells nutty, toasty. Flavor is caramel and toasted nuts. Slight metallic flavor as it warms.

Can. Looks lovely: deep orange-brown with a robust golden head. Caramel straight through, with toasty and light stonefruit accents. Decent enough.

Had this poured from tap at SanTan brewing in Arizona. Obviously an amber pour. No head. Carmel and toffee notes. Earthy. Smooth and easy drinking but nothin special
