Commercial Description:
Made from mostly pale malt and some Munich and caramel malts. These add a little sweetness, which is balanced by more hops. The result is a rich color and fruity flavor.

Poured lighter brown/amber and if not decanted, slightly cloudy with an off-white head and an appealing caramel aroma. Nice clean malt flavor and medium hop bitterness rounds out this nice brew. Reminds me of a brown ale. Very tasty.

12 oz. bottle from John’s Grocery (Iowa City, IA). Pours a very hazy dark amber hue with a significant bubbly tan head that begins to dissipate. Aromas of sweet caramel malts and sugary sweetness with a nice hoppiness. Initial taste is a mellow sweetness that flows through to a bit of a hoppy fruitiness and moves further towards a smooth semisweet finish that tastes of wonderful caramel malts. Overall, lacking in hop bitterness, the aroma led me to believe we’d have a more noticeable hop portion. However, a nice mellow amber that openly displays an impressive malt bill in taste and in aroma. Yum.

Amber in color with a moderate off-white head. Aromas were of brown sugar, grapefruit, caramel malt and spice. In the mouth it was medium-bodied with lovely malt flavors and midpalate balanced by hops that show a nice slight dryness at the end. A very nice Amber.

Fantastic Amber ale. Poured a huge head in my scooner and lasted till the last drop. Aroma of flowery hops pineapple and as it warms brown sugar. More on the sweet side and could use a bit more bittering hops. When it warms the flavor takes on a more dark malt taste. Overall just awesome for the style.

This is a great beer. Pours amber, with a caramel malt aroma. Taste is everything you could want in an amber.

This is a well balanced amber ale that almost tastes like it has some honey added int he brewing process. I really like this one. great in its category.
