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.

Bottle. Pours moderately dark amber with a small white head. Aroma is fairly weak, mildly of caramel and maybe hops. Flavor is similar, with a little nuttiness. A bit watery. Not bad, but not good either.

Bottle courtesy of scrizzz. Pours a clear amber/orange with a small ring of white head. Aroma of buttery popcorn and sweet malt. Flavor of sweet sugary fruitiness, strawberry, and nice malt. Pretty tasty and drinkable. I’m surprised at these low ratings because this is a good amber!

Bottle. Nearly making against the grain with this one I see. Aroma of caramel malt with both overripe and tart fruit tones. Flavor has the same with the addition of a citrus edge and some gritty earth. That gritty earth translates to the pleasant, giving the impression of a leathery coarseness. I rather liked it and was surprised to see it clock in sub-3.0.

On draught at the brewpub in Everett, Washington. Pours a clear golden amber brew with a fast dissolving off-white head that dissipates nearly clean with no lacing or ring. Aroma of light fruity apples, a touch of toffee and citrus zest. Taste has a chalky caramel malt flavor with a hint of roasted nuts, and citrus zest. Finish is slightly semi-sweet with a light malt aftertaste with no bitterness. Overall - an average amber ale.

From a 22oz. bottle purchased at By the Bottle&#045;&#045;Poured a hazy copper-amber body with a healthy off-white head. Nose was malty, caramel and creamy with a mild hop presence. Flavor was dull cardboard and weak graininess. Very dull. Not a horrible beer, but far from great. One of Scuttlebutt’s worst.
