Malty beer. Pours yellow orange in color. Smooth malt flavors. Little or no hop presence, at least I didn't notice it. It was a ok beer.

Amber is not one of my favorite styles, but this one is pretty nice. Very clean on the palate. Color may be a tad bit light for an amber, but not much. Nice head. A bit on the bitter side, and definately more hoppier than last year’s rendition I tried, but considering its from the American West, its not surprising.

One of my favorite ambers. Nice amber color. Malty nose with a off-white head. Sweet caramel start with a nice hop profile to even out the sweetness. Clean finish.

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.
