Americas Aurora Amber Ale

Bottle. Pours a deep amber with a soapy off-white head that leaves sparse splotchy lacing. Mild s Flavor is rather roasty, faintly chocolatey with a slightly vegetative flavor up front. Finishes with a floral sugary, but mild sweetness. Medium bodied.

Had on tap at the brewpub while judging the Drunk Monk awhile back. A tasty brew from a good place.

draught at 2009 oak park micro brew and food review. poured through their ’hop engine’ (aka ’randall the enamel animal’) filled with pure cascades. huge plant matter aroma. very cloudy amber body. flavor of green beans and overall chlorophyll. sugary sweet and grainy. poor pick for a beer to receive this treatment, either start with a huge malt character or forgo and use an APA or IPA.

Highly carbonated. Dark Amber pour with huge light tan head. Lots of tiny bubbles. Took a long time to pour the bottle. Typical amber aroma of caramel malt. The flavor was a little weak at the end in the aftertaste, Middle of the road amber ale. Spotty lacing.

12 ounce bottle picked up by my parents from the brewery in Aurora, Illinois. Pours a light amber color with a very tiny white head. The aroma consisted of a lot of roasted malts, some light hops, and grains. The taste consisted of malts with a bit of hop character in the background with some citrus hints. It left a bit of a tangy sensation in my mouth after each drink also. It had a very light mouthfeel. Overall, this was a refreshing brew. Nothing extremely exciting but it was good for a amber ale...

Shocked slightly by the pour, an amber that is actually amber, well light amber to golden in color anyway. Moderate slightly creamy, off egg shell colored head. Mild caramel and mild dried herbs and flower aromas. Fairly thin and slightly watery feel. Lightly toasted malt and dry herbal hops flavors. Has a stomach settling quality when it comes to the herbal thing. Linger reminds me of goldenrod and dry weeds on a warm fall day. I have had much worse amber.

Pours surprisingly light for an amber ale, a hazy golden with only a hint of amber in it. There is a very small white head that hangs around for a little while with a bit of lacing. Roasted malts dominate the nose with hints of hops and a very strong grain profile as well. The taste is also big on roasted malts and grain with the hops making an appearance in the finish. The mouthfeel is very dry and crisp with lots of carbonation. This is an interesting take on an amber ale and fairly enjoyable.

12oz bottle. pours hazed amber with white head. sweet doughy malt aroma. citrus and earthy notes. doughy witha slight roast and chocolate in the finish. decent brew but reminds me a lot of Bells Amber.
