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 a pretty clouded orange-ish brown amber. Slight leafy nose. Seems very calm though. The flavor really brings it here. Even and firm bodied. Consistently earthy woody tones. Feel is very well bodied on the liquid and a good carbonation as well. I’m calling this as a good example of the style and an overall good brew to try.

Bottle. Amber bodied with a small light brown head. Aroma is malty with caramel and soft fruit and nut notes. Light hop notes. Taste is nutty and malty with caramel and soft hops. Light fruit notes as well. Body is medium with creamy carbonation. Light dryness. Finishes with more caramel, soft malts, nuts, light spicy and earthy hops and fruit. Decent session style amber ale.

Very cloudy amber color reminding me of a home brew. The taste is a nice balance of caramel malts and light hops.

12 oz. brown, longneck bottle. 8208 on back label. Poured out a light brown color, with a sticky tan colored head. Aromas are hops first, followed by caramel. Flavors are of hops & caramel as well. Medium mouthfeel, decent body. A little too hoppy for the style, but that’s just my opinion.

Pours an orange-caramel color and is a little hazy...has a nice head with an initial aroma of hops and then mellows to reveal a malty nose. Good, easy mouthfeel and has a definite caramel malt taste with a semi-sweet finish. Very good amber ale!

(bottle thanks OSLO) Pours orange with a small off-white head. Aroma had faint hops in the beginning, but then switched to more grainy and sweet. The taste was quite sweet with caramel and the finish had a lingering bitterness. This beer was pretty good.

[Bottle] Pours hazy orange amber with a small off-white head. Aroma is toasty, grainy malts. Taste is a little sweet up front, then it’s just a lot of malt with a light bitterness in the finish. Fairly thin with a long finish. This beer is in no way objectionable, and actually is pretty drinkable...it just doesn’t do a lot to impress though.

12oz bottle. This amber came highly recommended and I understand why. A very enjoyable ale! Off white head, golden tone. Sweet malty initial and mid taste. An almost fruit like finish. Very palletable!
