COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The Upland Amber Ale has a malty almond/chocolate taste laced with a lush spicy hop flavor. Creamy body combined with robust maltiness makes this a warming beer indeed.

Thanks to jjpm74 for this one. Pours a nice copper color with small tan head. Aroma is caramel, malts, tea and white peaches. Some hops spice in there as well. Flavor is roasty nuts, caramel and some hops as well. Pretty decent amber overall. Thanks John.

Medium copper body with a lightly yellow khaki head. The aroma is rich with some walnuts and iced tea. There is also a little bit of orange citrus. The taste has some woody notes, like paper. There is also some light cheap tobacco and a little bit of orange juice concentrate. A decent amber, but it needs a little more malt to balance the oranges.

Clear straw colored body with a thick, frothy head. Aroma was caramel, toasted nuts, citrus. Flavor was nutty caramel. Lawnmower beer.

Shaker from a bottle. Poured a nice dark red-orange color with a very slight haziness and an off white head. I thought it had a bit of a hoppy aroma. The beer has a light body with a thin-to-creamy texture and fizzy carbonation. Overall I was very impressed with this beer. It reminded me of a red ale with hops. I really like the flavor of this beer and would definately recommend it to friends. A great beer to really slow down and enjoy.

Upland Amber Ale is a light murky brown ale with a light cappuchino head. The aroma is very malty and the taste is sweet with a large amount of malt as well. This is a very nice ale.

Pretty tasty amber ale. Had at JK O’Donnells in Fort Wayne. Better than most ambers...but i’ve only had mass produced ambers so this is definitely better than those

12 oz Bottle - Pours a marvelous light orange/reddish with good off-white head. Aroma is nuts (almonds, apparently), malt, hops, and spices. Mouthfeel is light to medium bodied, slight dryness and astrigency. Taste is nuts, subtle sweetness, a little hops, and a small alcoholic bite and btterness in the aftertaste. Pretty good beer - but damned amazing for an amber ale. A winner in a overwise boring category of beer.

Courtesy Acknud. Thank you sir. Dark amber body with a small off white head, very rocky and excellent retention. Sheets of lacing down the side of the glass. Looks amazing for an amber ale. Nose of hops, citrus, grass, malts and pine. Fore is a bit soapy, but the flavor picks up throughout with a nice balance of the hops and sweet malts. Very nice flavor concentration once you get past that initial dishwater bit. Medium bodied, creamy palate. Medium carbonation. Finish is lengthy, bitter and spicy. Full of hops and then at the very end fades to a nice residual sweetness. Excellent amber ale!
