Apr 30, 2009 Crystal clear copper color. Moderate level head that leaves generous amount of lace.
Caramel is the dominant smell; light but floral hop in the background. Slightly metallic.
Nice balance with a decent body. Pleasant malt start, mostly crystal. The swallow presents the bitter hop, but the aftertaste is brief. This is a very easy beer to drink.

Apr 26, 2009 On Tap at Mellow Mushroom. Amber with little head. Aroma is hoppy with notes of spice and amber malts. Flavor is citrusy hops and slight caramel malts. Finish is dry and clean.

Apr 22, 2009 12oz bottle. Another good offering from Troegs. Very much an IPA as far as I am concerned though it certainly is amber in color. Great hop taste and very drinkable.

Apr 19, 2009 Bottle poured into a standard pint glass produced a finger worth of white head that went to a thick lace. The body of the brew was a clear red in color.
The aromas were piney hops followed by some nice malts sweetness. The flavor boils down to a less hoppy Nugget Nectar. I like it is very balanced and easy to drink. With its medium to light feel in the mouth and great carbonation.
This brew is a good balanced brew very drinkable and easily quaffable. I will go back to this brew again

Apr 16, 2009 Hey...how did I miss this one? I’ve only been tripping over the case I bought for three weeks now. Ahh a nice hoppy critter a bit on the juicy side. A deeper amber in the glass. Infused malt with a fair ammnt of tang in the finish. Four of these make a good pain killer if you try to saw your finger off.

Apr 15, 2009 Bottle from coldbrewky. Nice amber body with sticky head. Great hoppy nose with notes of sweet fruits. And lots of hops in the taste. No false advertising here. Slight kick in the finish. I know Ambers vary but this one felt more like an IPA. Very nicely done. Thanks again Steve!

Source: 12oz bottle from a mixed 12 pack, purchased in Washington DC.
Appearance: Clear amber color with a one finger white head.
Aroma: Floral, pine and sweet fruit.
Flavor: Sweet malt base with a pine hop finish. A bit of citrus in the middle.
Palate: Medium body and slightly stickly mouthfeel, but overall very clean. Carbonation was solid.
Overall: Really enjoyed this, as I do most Troegs offerings. Not much to complain about.

Apr 9, 2009 I’m really enjoying the sixtel of this one. Just enough hop flavor to balance out the malty backbone of this amber. It won’t overwhelm but it won’t disappoint. Solid choice.
