Commercial Description:
Richly malty and long on the palate, with just enough hop backing to make this beautiful amber colored "alt" style beer notably well-balanced.

Used to be my favorite amber ale until I was introduced to Mac & Jacks. But, still is a pretty good beer even out of the bottle.

This is what I ask for when I want a "light" beer. Enjoyable, easy drinking, and quality.

The name’s a little confusing (beyond a simple colour label) because this is an Alt rather than a classic Irish-style amber ale. However, the beer is a treat. It poured with a thin head but the aroma was light and invitingly fruity. The palate is sweet and oily, with fruity notes and a hint of spice in a smooth finish. Very easy to drink. Even better on tap, I imagine. A gem.

On tap at La Comida in Cody, WY. Pours a medium amber with a medium off-white head. Very nice caramel and malt aroma. Flavor followed the aroma. Great finish, very smooth. Wish this was available on the East Coast.

A nice carmal malt nose. Good deep rich amber color. For my taste a little more bitterness would be nice to offset the residual sweetness of the malt. A decent "Amber" beer. I wouldn’t say no to a free round or three.

Aroma: moderate hop aroma from dry hopping or late kettle additions of American hop varieties. A citrusy hop character moderately high maltiness balances and masks the hop presentation, and shows a moderate caramel character. Esters moderate Appearance: coppery brown in color. Moderately large off-white head with good retention. Flavor: Moderate to high hop flavor from American hop varieties, which often but not always has a citrusy quality. Malt flavors are moderate to strong, and usually show an initial malty sweetness followed by a moderate caramel flavor (and sometimes other character malts in lesser amounts). Malt and hop bitterness are usually balanced and mutually supportive. Fruity esters can be moderate to none. Caramel sweetness and hop flavor/bitterness can linger somewhat into the medium to full finish. No diacetyl. Mouthfeel: Medium to medium-full body. Carbonation moderate to high. Overall smooth finish without astringency often associated with high hopping rates. Stronger versions may have a slight alcohol warmth. Overall Impression: Like an American pale ale with more body, more caramel richness, and a balance more towards malt than hops (although hop rates can be significant).

Dark head and bold flavor. Caramel flavor with dark oats comes out with a strong aroma. Overall a pleasing and well finishing Amber.
