3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap at brewery. Pours dark hazy amber with white head. Aromas of caramel, light citrus, light hops, and some toasted malts. Flavors caramel malts, citrus, light hops, and a bit of chocolate. Pretty drinkable and enjoyable amber.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap. Pours with a clear, reddish brown body. Tan head. Aroma of caramel and light chocolate. Taste is chocolaty, raisins, bread and very light hops. Some dark fruits. Well made but not my thing. Way to much Crystal. Taste really like a Scottish 70/. Maybe just needs about 1% peated malt to make a great one. Medium bubbles. Sweet finish with a high FG.
Not my style of amber ale and both the bartender and brewer agreed.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
A: A very typical looking beer for the style. A clear, copper/amber color with a fluffy off-white head.
S: A lot of caramel malt with a bit of fruity esters, but no hop aroma to speak of.
T: The flavor also lacks the hop character that I enjoy in a red ale. The sweetness is the main flavor in the beer, but it’s somehow not overwhelming. There is also a bit of chocolate and creaminess that I wasn’t quite expecting.
M: The body is medium and there is a moderate level of carbonation which probably helps to minimize the sweetness.
D: Certainly not the most amazing beer I’ve ever had, but a good one to enjoy and seemingly moderate in terms of ABV. I would say that this beer is more of an amber ale due to its sweetness, but I suppose we’re getting very semantic by going there.

11th October 2008. GABF. Clear brown beer. Slightly dry palate. Best that can be said about this is malty and inoffensive.
