Commercial Description:
A creamy, flavorful Amber that's smooth and easy to drink. Drop Top is fermented by an American Ale yeast to produce beer with a clean flavor and fruity aroma. The velvet texture is from the use of Honey malt and a touch of milk sugar. The Magnum bittering hops provide soft bitterness, while Simcoe, a newly developed hop variety, adds unique hop flavor and aroma.

On tap, I was pleasantly surprised to find this in a so-so bar in a Mexican restaurant. I liked it, good sweet flavor and very easy to drink a lot of. Wouldn’t buy again unless I was at the same restaurant and it was my only choice.

355 ml bottle. Clear amber body with a nice, creamy off-white head. Aroma is floral, fruity with notes of caramel. Flavor is fruity, sweet, bitter, caramel. Medium body and balanced sweetness. Bittersweet finish. Total impression is quite nice, not totally in balance but very easy to drink.

This one had a super-light pine flavor to complement the maltiness. The palate was very controlled, but not so much as to limit the flavor. I think they improved this beer recently.

Wonderful flavor that leans towards the malt side but has an almost subtle hop presence.

Pours an amber color, nice looking beer. Mostly white head, decent size. Aroma is pretty nice with malts, hops, spice and maybe some sweet smelling notes. Flavor is malty but lacks some body and character. Not the worst, not even close to a top tier amber either.

Austin, Tx. - Harlons - Airport - 12 oz bottle - dark orange pour with a creamy white head. Aroma of peach marmalade, floral notes. Flavor is bittersweet with some citrus, maple syrup, candied sugar and a hint of peaches. Thick, creamy mouthfeel - pleasantly surprised. 4th rating from this little airport bar by the Delta gates.
