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.

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.

A light copper color with lots of sediment. Head is a frothy tan. Not much aroma. Flavor is a bit too sweet. Hoppy, but not bitter, with a hint of straw and nuttiness. Not all that great.

Huge foamy head and a nice clear amber color. Great hops nose. Great balance of malt and hops. Just enough sweet, just enough bitter and a lightly bitter yet clean finish. Amazing. Wish I had grabbed more than one.

Bottle. Pours nearly clear amber with a thin white had. Pine-nut nose. Medium body and carbonation. Lots caramel, nuts and bread in the taste. Crisp finish.

Aug. 2006 - A different take on an amber. Poured dark orange color with nice head and lacing. Aroma is just sweet malt. The flavor was sweet biscuit, caramel with a grapefruit/citrus hop finish. The beer was both too sweet and too hoppy. The flavors didn’t blend well for me. It gets points for not being a boring amber, I just didn’t dig it all that much.
