COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Classic English-style amber ale with a full, malty body and a robust hop flourish. Its rich copper color comes from British Crystal and Chocolate malts. The round maltiness is perfectly balanced with a spicy blend of Williamette, Hallertauer, Tettnang, and Cascade hops.

Amber in color,cloudy,no head.Chocolate/soy sauce aroma.Flavor is sweet and sour,malty.Obviously this isn't what they intended,but if they could only reproduce thata roma in a Belgian style,they might have something.

Murky deep orange color Smells like some sharp old sour socks. Too bad that this isn't a Belgium beer. This bottle is bad, spoiled, sucky, etc.

Cobra (1076) - In a van, down by the river, Maryland, USA - DEC 17, 2003
12 oz. brown longneck bottle. No freshness date, although a space for one was on the back label. Poured out a typical amber color, with no head at all. Lackluster aromas in all departments. Nothing stands out to me in this beer whatsoever. I had a hard time choking down enough of it to give it a fair review. No malts, no hops and no taste, at least in my book. Maybe I got a bad batch or an old bottle, who knows? A certified drain pour.

Why do I smell butter? Maybe I'm crazy, but thats about the only way I can describe it. Butter. Flavor is good however, smooth and subdued, with a very oily mouthfeel.

Good sized head that lasted a bit to long for my liking. Pretty amber color. Flavor wasn't the best i've had but was quite good. Decent offering from Wild Goose

Dorwart (2110) - Robbinsville, New Jersey, USA - DEC 2, 2003
Thin head with good carbonation. Head last for a while. Color is a deep copper. Aroma is interesting. I detect peppermint, malt and hops. Body is a little thin but flavorful and well balnced between the malts and hops. Finish is slightly bitter. A decent amber ale.

From 2000 Notes - Clear amber. Hoppy nose. Flavor was more bitter then expected for the style. Decent but not great.

hopscotch (7288) - Vero Beach, Florida, USA - AUG 21, 2003
Sparkling clear, amber beer. Small, fizzy, khaki head. Smells sweet (honey) and malty and vineous, but without any real body in the artificial-esque aroma. Sweet on the tongue. Chewy, but no real flavor to go with the texture and malt. Medium-bodied with a syrupy mouthfeel and lively carbonation. Dryish, very astringent finish.
