mrant (330), New York, USA Jan 23, 2009 Smells very hoppy, strong sour scent. Taste is very nicely balanced dark malts and sour hops. Very tasty beer watson1977 (250), , Pennsylvania, USA Jan 19, 2009 amber in color with a thin white head and nice lacing. the aroma is very floral with some pine notes. very earthy and floral flavor with caramel malts up front and mild grapefruit followed by pine and a bit of spice in the finish which is slightly dry. i could definitely enjoy this as a session beer... Lowe1983 (1029), Fairborn, Ohio, USA Jan 14, 2009 Pours an amber color with an off-white head. Aroma is of citrus hops, caramel malts, and some earth aromas. Flavor is the same with a decent bitter finish from the citrus hops. A pretty decent amber. tagz (334), USA Jan 11, 2009 growler. pours red, copper with a decent off white head. hop flavor is similar to celebration (slight citrus, resinous) the body is definitely thinner. makes it a nice session with a good profile. malt is crisp but flavorful. a solid amber. blklab2007 (938), Connecticut, USA Jan 8, 2009 bottle poured a caramel amber color with a coating of off white head that retained a thin layer. aroma has some citrus hops, mild caramel malt, and a touch of grass. flavor has a nice sweet citrus grapefruit thing but is light on the delivery. malt picks up in the flavor and bitterness comes through to finish with some pine. really solid session level and well enjoyed. BillKismet (1899), Seattle, Washington, USA Jan 6, 2009 Mahogany-amber with thin silken head. Refreshing burst of PNW hops. notably Cascade. Hint of bubblegum. Pleasantly flavorful pop of hop flavors and crystal malts with the reappearance of bubble gum. A well-balanced, well-hoped amber that makes for a solid session candidate.

Troegs is just one of those breweries that just makes good beer.
this beer pours a really great amber color such that is suggested by the name
The balance of hops and malts in this beer makes it smooth and easy to drink. I wish we could get it out here in Chicago. The aroma is clean with a very good hop nose to it with malty undertones
I really like this beer. KawaBomber (193), New Jersey, USA Dec 31, 2008 12oz Bottle: Poured dark amber with a tiny biege head. Aroma is full of citrus hops with sweet malt in the background. Flavor is of piney hops with a nice malt backbone. Very well balanced, drinkable beer. Slightly bitter finish. Very smooth, nice beer to keep around...
