22 oz aluminum bottle-Clear mahogany pour w/no head. Skunked aroma of malt, bread dough & a wet dishrag....uh oh. Tastes like sour bread & watered down malt, maybe a little sugar water. Not sure if this beer is skunked or if it’s supposed to taste like this, although I can’t imagine this is the flavor they were shooting for @ the brewery. I hate to slam a new brewer, particularly one local to me, but this stuff is awful....drainpour!

Nov 17, 2009 Bottle shared by andrew at SL... Pours a brownish red color, small head. Aroma of malts and bread. Taste is your typical amber ale.... blah.... A sweet maltiness. On the thin side but not watery. Just boring.... Overall not a bad beer for its style but in the big picture of beers available this one will stay on the shelves.

Nov 15, 2009 THOUGHTS: Really nice. What an amber ale should be. Almost like a nitro beer. A little metallic in the finish, but really nice. One of the best ambers I’ve had. Fairly British too. Bonus point for the awesome aluminum bottle.
TECHNICAL: Bottle. Poured a clear, dark brown amber that was bright glowing amber in the light with an average, light tan head that kept a chick sheet and left good lacing. The aroma was moderate to heavy nutty and caramel malt, lighter roasted and toasted malt; floral and herbal hops, leman slight cherry and tea. The initial flavor was sweet, lightly bitter and slightly acidic; while the finish was acidic, light to moderately bitter and lightly sweet with an average duration. There was caramel, nutty and roasted malts, lemony citrus, toasted malt, fruity, slight cherry, burnt malt, floral and metallic hops, tea and slight smoke. The medium body was fairly oily and then a little dry, but also a little sticky on the lips with lightly fizzy carbonation that was actually fairly soft with a lightly metallic, almost soapy finish.
