Has citrus and flowery notes with a hint of clove and is copper-amber in color - just beautiful. Well balanced malt and hop flavors but not too hoppy which I feel overwhelms some other ales which boast the hops in their brews. Lovely mouthfeel and finishes smooth and clean. Also I prefer the lower alchol content this amber ale compared to other high hop ales. Highly recommended. RiverHorse (454), New Jersey, USA Apr 15, 2007 Updated: May 28, 2007This beer pours a very dark clear amber color with a nice thick head and a nice lacing. The smell is much like a nice IPA with hops and citrus dominating the nose. So far, so good. There is a good malt and hop balance with a decent mouthfeel. There are notes of grapefruit, spices, carmel, malt and yeast. For an amber ale, this is about as good as it gets. I wish this beer were more accessible. SJP (483), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Apr 7, 2007 Nice amber colored pour with a nice cream colored head. Subtle hops aroma, with hints of yeast. Nice hops flavor, not too skunky, not too grassy, but a nice semi-sweet floral hops flavor with hints of caramel maltiness. Finish is a little strong, but very nice. A very good drink TheOrange (405), Kent, Ohio, USA Apr 4, 2007 Pour is a nice orange-ish brown. The head is good sized, and tan in color. The aroma is perfumey and hoppy. Good robust hop flavor, with a nice mellow malt flavor right about where it should be. Finish is longer, then expected but pleasant. Very good Amber. biggcb (459), Harleysville, Pennsylvania, USA Apr 4, 2007 Bottle. Pours a nice golden-amber color with a decent-sized head. Aroma is subtle hops, some malts and a slight bit of yeast. Flavor is pretty much balanced perfectly between the hops and the malt. Nice mouthfeel. Easy drinking. mk70 (62), New York, USA Apr 3, 2007 Updated: Jun 6, 2007Very enjoyable Ale. Beautiful amber color! Almost perfect blend of malt and hops, however I’d prefer a bit more hops and a tad less of the caramel malt flavor. I definitely would recommend this and look forward to trying it again soon. Prcaus (159), New Jersey, USA Mar 21, 2007 12 oz bottle-Pours a dark amber coloring. Hoppy aroma, heavy malt flavoring a little too heavy for my liking on regular drinking. Medium bodied average carbonation.
