Jan 29, 2004 Paid $1.69 for a 12-oz single.
Comparing this to other ambers, this beer takes the cake in appearance. Very pretty, unfiltered amber (has a couple floaties), with a gigantic head. So far, every beer I've had from Anderson Valley has had a gorgeous head- and this one is no exception.
Sweet floral... soft, sweet, luscious... not overpowering, yet not lacking. This is nice.
Very refreshing taste. Sweetness fills the mouth at first bite, finishing with a slightly bitter rose-hip tea flavor. Nice, refreshing, and EXTREMELY drinkable. A fantastic Amber/Red Ale!!!

Jan 27, 2004 Nice malty sweet character. But hops enough to balance it out. I could drink a lot of this and it wouldn't get old.

Jan 26, 2004 One of the most well-balanced beers I've had. Wonderful blend of piney, spicey, and floral hops caramel malts throughout the aroma and flavor. Slightly bitter, very refreshing. One of my favorite session beers.

Jan 18, 2004 really pleasant. Smooth flavor with good body and a well balanced malt and hops taste; not too dry but slightly acidic. Color and lacing was nice.

Jan 16, 2004 Updated: Jan 21, 2004great amber color, good thick head slowly diminishing, caramel and hoppy nose. Drink it by the bottle, pint or pitcher and it'll leave you wanting more.

Jan 11, 2004 Updated: Jun 9, 2007Boont Amber pours a chill-hazed tan/amber with a good, sustaining head. The nose is fruity yeast charecter mixed with some caramel and hops. It drinks rather easily, although the mouthfeel is a little rough (astringent). Hops show up a bit in the end. OK session beer.

Jan 5, 2004 Thank God the Flying Saucer served this beer warm. The beer has a spicy flavor within that keeps it unique from other amber ales.

Dec 29, 2003 Cloudy dark amber, bubbly white head. Fruity and candyish nose with sweet malty notes. The body is citrusy hops with a firm maltiness. Nice tasty hoppiness, but overall quite timid and uneventful.
