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.

lithy (2913) - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA - OCT 23, 2008
Clear copper red color with a thin layer of light tan head that looks creamy and grabs the edge of the glass but dissipates to a cover. Spicy caramel aroma, floral hops. Body is very bready and toasty malt with hints of caramel, the wildflower, perfume hop finish.

bottle courtesy of sloth. Pours brown with a white head. Smells of perfume, oranges, some light spice. Tastes of citrus and has some tarte hints on the finish.

This was pretty good for an amber ale. I am not typically a fan of ambers. This poured out nicely and had a great solid color to it. A little bit watery but a good smokey bitterness to it at the same time.

Bottle. Pours amber with a beige head. Aroma has caramel, toast, and light floral hops. Medium body. Flavor is rather light, with caramel malt and floral hops. Not bad.

checkmatei1 (764) - Willow Grove, Pennsylvania, USA - JUL 9, 2008
Bottle: Poured an amber color with a fluffly white head. Too much carbonation as it look me 10 minutes or more to pour the whole thing into a glass. The aroma was faint, sweet malts and hops. The flavor was just OK. I didn’t like the aftertaste which kind of tasted metallic. Overall, not a fan of this one.

Bottle. Pours amber with creamy white head. A chocolaty smell. Very good taste. Nice mildly hoppy.

shadey (1618) - Rochester, New York, USA - JUN 19, 2008
12oz bottle. The pour is a nice amber-red color with a thin head of white cream. Some nice lacing as well. The aroma has a nice toasty sweet character that I like. The flavor is quite nice too. I can taste some of the hop varieties, although they are subtle. I’m pleasantly surprised by this unassuming little beer.

This poured a dark amber color into a pilsner glass. A fluffy, inch tall white head that left pretty good lacing on the glass all the way down. Not a real strong aroma. Some malt, some hops, but nothing that really stood out. Delicious, malty flavor with enough hops to balance. Very creamy, with the maltiness the primary flavor. Mouthfeel was creamy with just a slight carbonation. It was extremely smooth. Very drinkable beer. Before I knew it, I had already finished half the glass and was looking for more. I could drink these all day long.
