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.

12oz bottle. Perfect amber color, creamy white foam. Aroma of sweet malts, soft caramel, some honey. Flavor has a unique earthy grain along with some well balanced bitterness. Smooth and good. Finishes with a light honey flavor and light nuttiness. A great beer for the style.

Pours a glorious, cloudy, amber and holds a thin off-white head. Dry barley malt aroma. Full maste taste with a good bitter finish that comes through strong. Full bodied, hoopy, and full flavored, this brew does not dissapoint.

Bottle at Monks Café, Wallingatan, Stockholm. Hazy, almost cloudy amber colour with a small disspaearing white foam. Caramel, crackers, cookies, burnt caramel, soap and spicy hops in the aroma. Medium-bodied with notes of caramel, nuts, cookies and grass. Medium-bitter finish of burnt caramel, grass and mild citrousy hops.

Appears a copper color with a moderately small off white head. Very hazy. High carbonation. The first hint of the nose is a citrus scent, surprising expecting the advertised malt to jump out. A little agitation gets some of the sweeter caramel scent. Very nice. Taste..Very very good. A great balanced drink that doesn’t equate balance with weakness. There is definitely some hop and malt action here. Begins sweet and ends bitter, with a citrus aftertaste. Mouth is appropriate. Relatively thin bodied and relatively high carbon. Drinkability is very good, this is one of my favorite of this style and if I am in the market for an American Amber, I would go here.

On tap in a pint glass. Pours amber (go figure!) with a small white head that sticks a bit. The aroma is surprisingly hoppy for an amber, and so is the flavor. The flavor is like hoppy caramel biscuits - a welcome change for an amber. Light body and somewhat high carbonation.

Great session beer. Malt sweet with a nice clean finish a little thin but a good match for the ABV and style. Very drinkable great party/summer beer. One of the beer ambers i have had in a while not that I drink them many
