CaptainCougar (4664), Rockville, Maryland, USA Nov 18, 2007 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. hopdog (4648), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 5, 2008 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. hopscotch (4588), Vero Beach, Florida, USA May 10, 2008 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. Cornfield (4343), Oak Forest, Illinois, USA Jan 21, 2005 Updated: Jul 8, 2005The 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! America’s Brewpub, Aurora, IL
