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.

12 oz bottle, pours a rather hazy, turbid amber with a large, billowing and long-lasting yellow-cream colored head that leaves good spotty lacing. Aroma features clean malts with some caramel character coming through, balanced with a touch of citrusy, floral hops. A bit soapy. Nice balanced flavor; dominantly sweet, but clean, with light caramel tones and just enough hop bitterness. Finish is very slightly dry. Mouthfeel is on the light side of medium, with moderate prickly carbonation. Relatively smooth and clean. Solid; nice session beer.

pours a hazy orangey amber with a white head. aroma is caramel, some fig, some hops. taste is sweet hop/malt mix with a little more fig jam. mid-bodied with a bubbly cleanish mouthfeel. nice roundness with some decent bitter in the finish. nice spotty lacing. a nice session brew. better than i was expecting; another quality offering from bells. good autumn or early spring brew. not bad.

Soft nose with notes of caramel and munich malt. Mildly sweet without the traditional Amber ale iced tea note. Mild hopping with a soft mouthfeel. Clean and lingering finish.

Pours with a surprising haze. Fruity, toasted and caramel hop aroma with some citrus hops. Sweet and malty. The hops could be amped up a little and the alcohol is noticeable. Rather thin in body. The bitterness is a little rough. Not my favorite.

12oz bottle. Pours a deep honey/copper color and moderately opaque, good cream colored head. Aroma of sweet malts almost floral. A sweet malt flavor with a slight hop finish. A hint of a metallic flavor for some reason. flavor Smooth and tasty, good beer.
