Sonoran Desert Amber

Brewed by Sonoran Brewing Company
Style: Amber Ale
Phoenix, Arizona USA

This is a plain workhorse amber ale. It is malty with just a hint of bitterness in the finish. There is a light hop flavor as well that has a citrus quality to it. Probably a good starter beer from this brewery if you want more flavor go for the Burning Bird Pale ale, which is awesome.

Fruity, malty aroma, some grapefruity hop and caramel. Light-medium amber-orange color, hazy with some suspended particles. Balanced flavor profile, lightly grainy and sweet with a moderate dosage of citric, fruity hop. Juicy finish, with a pleasantly effervescent mouthfeel and medium body. Very drinkable and surprisingly tasty.

Definitly amber color. Faint white head, with an iota of lace. You can taste the malt, a little bitter. Lingering aftertaste. Good local, would be great with a burger.

(bottle) A typical fine ok beer, nothing striking or special about it but nice and drinakable.

Pours amber with a medium head, thin lacing. Aroma is nutmeg spicy with hints of caramel. Decent hops, over all not bad.

This had a nice little hop bite to it, wrapped up in a malty caramel flavor and a general sweet streak down the middle. Finished very dry - so dry that i want another one! Nice deep gold color, big fluffy head and excellent lacing. thanks for sharing, rockinout!

From Hollingshead Deli in Orange, CA. Pours a rich amber with a medium and foamy off-white head. Thin lacing and decent retention. Aroma is spicy (cinnamon is my guess) with a caramel undercurrent. Flavor is fairly sweet malt and caramel. Finish is hoppy enough to keep it from being too sticky-sweet. A little off-balance but not too shabby.

(draft) Light amber body, medium head. Aroma is mildly sweet and malty. Taste is nicely even -- pleasing maltiness that finishes slightly spicy hoppy. Very good accessible beer.
