COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This is an American style amber ale with distinctive hop flavor and aroma. The hop character is a result of the blending of Mt. Hood and Willamette hops. It is highlighted by the light amber color and balanced by malt undertones. We recommend this beer for those who enjoy hop characteristics, but don't want to be overwhelmed by them.

Pours a rusty cooper color with a magnificent light foamy beige head, have to delay gratification for the head dissipation which is all well and good. Aroma is piney with hints of citrus. Unfortunately flavor not too impressive, a bit flat and watery, mind you. Finish short, would treat this as a lager down and dirty after sweating in the yard. Pretty flavorless, too light. Quaff Score (drinkability especially with hearty enjoyment ) 3 / 10

Pours an amber with a creamy white head and a sweet, malty aroma. Taste is light and sour and has flavor of sweet malts and grains, overall disappointing. Not one of the best amber ales I’ve had.

Poured a cloudy amber with a good size head. Citrus aroma, sweet malts, and then some bitterness. Good beer, but could be better balanced.

reebtogi (1568) - Edmonton, Alberta, CANADA - JAN 4, 2012
355ml bottle listed at 5.1%ABV pours a slightly cloudy pale amber color with 3 fingers of off-white head and produced some nice lacing on the glass. Aroma is mild caramel with a pleasant hoppy aroma. Taste is malty sweet with an unusual hoppy bitterness. Medium bodied with lots of carbonation. The bitterness kind of threw me off on this one after the pleasant aroma, but this is still a quality ale and may be enjoyed more by others who endeavor to sample this ale.

Rather sweet and interesting tasting amber. Hoppy bitterness in the tail end of the finish. Tastes almost fruity. Decent session beer.

(22 ounce bomber - pint glass) Has caramel, nutty, toffee and toasted malt notes. Also has notes of vanilla. Creamy texture and medium body.

GatorGuy92 (16) - Valrico, Florida, USA - SEP 28, 2011
It looks pretty cloudy and orange like a pumpkin beer. Smells boozy and sweet with a distinctive scent of clove. The taste is pretty malty and sweet witha definite clove taste. Well carbonated and very easy drinking. A nicely rounded easy drinking beer. If BMC distributed and sold this it would be a big hit.

HighlanderOne (748) - Bergen County, New Jersey, USA - JUL 4, 2011
Poured from big bottle. Nice aroma of molasses, earth, raisin & hops. Opaque amber, tan head dissipates. Dry malt and pine hops are the predominant flavors here, with a trace of spice and cocoa. Grass/hay aftertaste. Pretty good drinkability. Decent.
