The Switchback Amber poured a copper-orange with a frothy off-whiet head that had nice lacing and good retention. It looked very similar to an Octoberfest.<br /><br />
The aroma was of light, grassy hops with some citrus tones.<br /><br />
The taste was very sweet malt up front (a little too sweet) with some caramel and slight citrus. It had a slight bitter, earthy finish.<br /><br />
It was medium bodied and very drinkable. Overall, I thought it was a nice amber. It had and interesting, appealing sweet flavor with an IPA-like aroma.<br />

Aug 11, 2008 I don’t know about the comparison to an Oktoberfest, but still a simple albeit sessionable beer. With some roasted caramel flavors and some toasted cereal maltiness, with a lingering bit of lemony citrus in the finish. Decent enough.

Jun 6, 2008 Yellow/orange color, cloudy but clean. copper, yeah, that’s what it was. Hops on the nose. Spice and fruit hits your tongue with some awesome-tasting hops. Very light, leaves a nce after-mouth. Love the taste!

Nov 16, 2007 Bottle. Pours amber with a small, off-white head. Malty aroma with some citrusy hop notes. The first flavour that hits is citrus, followed by somewhat sweet malt, and finishing with a little bitterness and lingering malt sweetness. Pleasant overall and easy to drink.

Nov 8, 2007 on tap-pours a thin off white head that laces and gold color. Aroma is sweet medium malt. Taste is sweet medium malt-chocolate/woody, peat, faint earthy (continental?) hops. As the beer warms the citrus/pungent northwest hops comes through more. Nice.

Sep 19, 2007 22oz bomber-a medium amber body with a small white head and an aroma of malts. Taste of the same. A run of the mill amber.
