Oct 12, 2004 Awesome! This is one of the finest Amber Ale’s I’ve ever had. Anderson Valley produces truly excellent brews and this has got to be one of the finest. Beautiful pour, creamy, rich, thick frothy head. Gorgeous, cloudy brown-toffee color. Nicely balanced bitter taste, citrusy aroma. Hmmmm...As they say, the number 1 legal export from Boonville ;)

Oct 8, 2004 red color, soapy thin head. Not too much flavor. Plenty of pretty lacing on the glass. Not the best amber, but decent.

Sep 15, 2004 Coppery golden. Lightly floral aroma. Some nice bready malts. Rather perfumey hop flavors as well. Some oxidation in the finish, but overall rather nice for what is usually a not ver interesting style.

Aug 26, 2004 on tap at the edinburgh castle which was a bit dumb considering we were heading to the brewery a couple of days. anyway, one of the better amber ales, orchard aroma, quite full, light toffee and a pleasant dry finish

Aug 26, 2004 This ale is so similar in flavour in how strong it is i would classify it as a IPA if i was blindfolded tasting beer samples. Nice colour of warm leather brown and the head is set at a good amount throughout the drinnking period. its okay in my book which means i will be purchasing it in the future.

Aug 8, 2004 First Anderson Valley. Looks and smells great. Hope the rest lives up. Yup!!! Its lives up to its billing and then some. Great smooth fullbodied flavor with big eggshell head and nice dark amber color. Tastes is great!!! Another very good California beer.

Aug 8, 2004 Pours a dark amber color with a medium head. Alot of flavors going on in this beer. Has a nice hoppy taste, but not to strong. It tastes a little spicy at the end. Quality brewing from a great brewery.

Aug 7, 2004 Deep amber, clear, very effervescent. Big off-white head displays tight lacing and lasts long. Shy nose of caramel reminiscent malt. Limited flavor range of caramelic malt and dominating various nuts. Mild acidity, the slightest leafy/almond skin bitterness. Light to medium body, highly carbonated and tongue-biting. Unexciting to say the least.
