A hazy orange beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet with light notes of flowers and citrus. The flavor is sweet malty with light notes of caramel and flower, leading to a lightly bitter end. And the body is thin. Boring.

solid, with more hops than you traditionally find from an amber. sweet malts, lovely color.

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.

Bottle. Pours a dark amber with a large frothy off-white head that diminished slowly. Medium sweet hoppy aroma. Medium body with a slick texture. Moderate sweet balanced flavor with a small bitter finish of short duration.

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 is an above-average amber ale. Pours copper, with malt, hop, and toffee aroma. Tastes malty, with hops, caramel, and fruitiness in the finsih.

Bottle from the Otown throwdown. Amber pour. Typical malty aromas with some caramel and light hints of hops. Flavor is benign and malty. Hops are barely around. Fair at best.

So, this is what an "English-style amber ale" (according to the Brewer) tastes like... I don’t know what that means. It has a very fruity nose, apples & cherries, along with some herbal hop aromas. And it is amber, along with a slender white head. The creamy brew has a rich, caramel malt flavor supported by a generrous doage of earthy, herbal hops. Quite tasty.
