Jun 28, 2008 Cloudy brown color with a fizzled beige head. Smells chocolatey and fruity. Flavor initialy is too sweet for me, with some roasted malts, finishes metallic. Not that great.

Jun 23, 2008 Pours a hazy brown/ruby colr with a short lived beige head. Aroma is baker’s chocolate and malt with a hint of hops.
Flavor is a really nice roasted malt with a good hop backbone. Very sweet, but the hops bitterness cuts it nicely.
Backend is just a bit metallic for my taste, but this is a really nice amber ale. good beer.

Jun 22, 2008 Bottle courtesy of ogglethorp in trade. Thanks dude!
Pour a nice, attractive amber with a small beige head. Smell is toasty malt, and almost a light dusty cocoa and fruitiness to it. Taste is toasty malt and light cocoa with a touch of fruit and light bitterness. Unique amber, flavorful and easy drinking. Solid beer.

Jun 4, 2008 Pours a dark clear copper colour with a full creamy head. A very nice, sweetly malted ale. Aromas of fresh hops and plums. Flavors of caramel, nuts and bread. Moderately hopped throughout each taste which is very pleasent.

Jun 3, 2008 Bottled. Sat in my fridge for ages, because I hate amber ale. Sorry for the bias. This isn’t that bad. This isn’t that good. Maybe that’s what I hate about Amber so much. It is so boring. They are all the same. Some sweet, chocolately malts. Some bitter, resinous American hops. Never enough of either. Medium body, medium carbonation, medium drinkability. If you averaged out every beer recipe ever made, you’d arrive at Amber. This beer fits that bill. Almost. It tastes a little bit like fish, though. That’s not so average.

Jun 2, 2008 Updated: Oct 13, 2008Big 20 beer tasting at Three Cellars Milwaukee.
Big bang of hops !! And is very easy to drink. Smooth for the amount of hop you get hint of malts to balance.

Apr 25, 2008 Bottle thanks to CMUBEERMAN. Pours opaque cider caramel, off white head. Aroma is hops (tangerine, kiwi), malt, vanilla. Flavor is similar with some earthiness. This seems more like an IPA than an amber. I’m not complaining though. ;)

Apr 17, 2008 Updated: Aug 6, 2008Now this is more like it! From a 12-oz. bottle, the brew pours a medium orangey-amber with a decent white head. Nice lacing. Good hop presence in the nose, along with some breadiness & caramel corn. Taste exhibits an Initial hearty maltiness followed by a quick whack of hops in the background. Moderate carbonation and decent "heft" make this an easy-drinker. Gotta try this on tap sometime.
