My Bottom Line:
A citrusy hop touch suffuses this lean Amber Ale, contributing plenty of resinous bitterness.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-A veil of foam covers the cloudy dark amber.
-Apart from shadowy caramel, the malts don’t offer much here.
-The hop bitterness is surprisingly potent for such a run-of-the-mill offering.
-This and their Brown Ale were drinkable, but that’s about all I would recommend from this uninspired brewer.
On tap at the brewpub.

2.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 Suede53 (39) - Canton, Ohio, USA - MAY 13, 2009
[Tap] Poured a deep red with a thin beige head. Aroma was malts and caramel. Flavor was more malts and caramel with nice touch of hops. Overall, a fair red but nothing special and doesn’t stand out amongst the crowd.

Pours a clear amber color with almost no head. Decent aroma of hops and caramel. The flavor is pretty much the same, hops and caramel. The body is light with an oily texture and moderate carbonation. This is a very unoriginal amber ale, but it was one of the best beer on the menu...
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20 Cletus (6025) - Connecticut, USA - FEB 20, 2008
Cask version. Pours red with a white head. Smells of fresh hops, caramel, some sugar. Tastes of caramel, roses, oranges, lots of resiny piny hints. Nicely done!
4.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20 beer4thepeople (4) - Vershire, Vermont, USA - MAR 3, 2007 does not count
Red appereance, nice aroma and head. Very smooth and tasty.
Just an all around good beer. Earlier Rating: 3/3/2007 Total Score: 3.9 Indeed very smooth, I prefer in a chilled pint glass (you need to ask for it!) Medium to low alcohol, wonderful taste.
Staple beer at the brewery, I never miss an opportunity to pick up a growler when I pass by the brewery.

Sampler at the brewpub - Poured a nice dark reddish brown in color with a whitish head. Aroma had some spicy hops along with some carmelly malts mixed in. Flavor was a nicely balanced mix of malts and spicy hops. The best of the "flight"...
