On tap at the brewpub on 6/20/07: Pours a transparent light copper bronze with a thin, wispy-lacing white head. Toasty caramel sweet aroma has a touch of graininess. Body starts with fizzy carbonation, light caramel malty sweetness and some bitter, soapy hop balance.

12oz bottle. Poured a medium golden color with a larger sized frothy white head. Lots of small suspended floaters. Aromas of toasted grains, light caramel, bready and a trace of citrus. Tastes of bread, lighter caramel, and citrus. Lacing left on the glass.

Draft... DLD’08... Slightly hazed golden ale with a small, creamy, white head. Decent retention. With my nose, I can pull almost nothing from the glass... with exceptions of gentle cereal grains and mild caramel. Light to medium-bodied and fizzy. Anemic caramel malt, but well-bittered. Crisp finish with a snappy hop bite.

The brewmeister told me they’d just changed the recipe. I believe it, judging by the other ratings. This hazy copper, off-white headed beauty is inches away from IPA-hood, not coming across like an amber at all. The aroma is loaded with cascade hops, strong grapefruit with a bit of orange rind and some herbal earthiness. The taste has a solid malt backbone, but it is heaped with refreshing hop bitterness. I vote we change this amber to an IPA!
