damzz (982) - Methuen, Massachusetts, USA - FEB 28, 2024
UPDATED: FEB 28, 2024 Pours a clear reddish yellow with a full beige head that leaves minimal lacing. Nose is caramel malt. Taste is toasted sweet malt. Body is light+. Bitterness is mild. Some time ago this was bottled in 2 liter soda bottles. 'B - but, honey (officer), I - I o- only had two bottles.' Nice beer. 12 oz bottle BBY 5/6/24

pkbites (1476) - Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA - JUL 31, 2023
UPDATED: JUL 31, 2023 Remember back in the 90’s when red beers were all the rage? Deep ruby red. Pretty beige head dies too quickly. Unique aroma, quite grainy. Flavor of barley soup bullion. Good. A bit thick to quaff as a thirst quencher. Bottle.

UPDATED: AUG 15, 2022 Bottle in Kentucky. Last had this a decade or so ago. Red amber, small head, creamy corn and caramel nose. Pretty sweet and not too complex flavor, a little bit of earthy hops.

Arbitrage411 (344) - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA - JUL 11, 2022
UPDATED: JUL 11, 2022 Amber cola color beneath a slight and vanishing head. Vigorous upstream of bubbles visible. Fruity like plums fragrance. Taste is a quick bite of a dry cherry. Quick carbonation - mouthfeel is short lived on sensation, non descriptive, although a small warming does come through. Reasonable brew. Medium towards light finish.

Cervatanas (12) - Barranquilla, COLOMBIA - SEP 20, 2021
UPDATED: SEP 20, 2021 Aroma a grano dulce, como a caramelo y con notas tostadas. Color ámbar oscuro con poca espuma pero con adherencia y persistencia en la copa. Sabor a grano limpio, soportada por los lúpulos para lograr un balance que no empalaga. Cuerpo medio a ligero, con carbonatación media baja algo cremosa y con un ligero amargo en el retrogusto que le permite una gran drinkability.

max317 (27) - - JUL 5, 2021
UPDATED: JUL 6, 2021 Nice and smooth, creamy taste. It seems like it can't decide if it wants to be light or heavy -- I think it would be better a little lighter -- but overall enjoyable.

giffey6 (22) - - FEB 18, 2021
UPDATED: FEB 18, 2021 Solid beer overall. I don't recall having tried an Amber beer yet, however this one is pretty solid at the end of the day. It's a solid middle ground that I like between a Pilsner type beer, and a more robust stout Dark beer. You have the easy drinking feel of a Pilsner that doesn't really have much of the bitterness, but the robust taste of a dark beer. My only real issue is, I am one of those go big or go home kinda guys. If I want an easy drinking beer, I am honestly more likely to just go for a Pilsner instead, and if I want a robust beer, that is why I stock up on the Dark Beer. Not bad, something I would be willing to have again.

unclefrito62 (2772) - Stow, Ohio, USA - DEC 29, 2019
UPDATED: DEC 29, 2019 12 ounce bottle at Beef O Brady’s in Stow Ohio. Smell the malt. Brown in color with reddish tint. White head. Tastes sweet and malty. Light and smooth. Malt aftertaste. Very nice and drinkable. Cheers!

Jow (7338) - The Hop, Massachusetts, USA - OCT 22, 2019
UPDATED: OCT 22, 2019 Bottle at home just grabbed since didn’t want to go dateless this Monday. Another odd one to rate so late in game. Dusty amber. Nose is caramel and fruit punch. Tastes of cherry, caramel, herbal, slight paper. Odd aftertaste.

cam0617 (219) - Colroado Springs, Colorado, USA - OCT 7, 2019
UPDATED: OCT 7, 2019 Tried an 8oz sample at the Coors brewery in Golden, Colorado. Pours a pale red with a white head that disappeared quick. It has a light aroma and flavor. It's a nice easy drinking beer.
