Oct 1, 2007 Draft. Hazy amber, thin jettison head. Fairly tasty, but fairly lackluster as well. Decent malt aroma, moderate carbonation, slight toastiness in the body but nothing too unsightly. Perhaps the slightest notion of french apple cider on the finish. I think I’m more of a maerzen kind of guy when it comes to ambers.

Sep 27, 2007 This is one tasty amber, I had it at the bar and it was the one beer that really stuck out in my head. Come back for a mor thorough analysis.

Sep 24, 2007 Appearance: Pours a medium copper body with a small, white head. It’s rather hazy, but then again, I didn’t think to check the temperature setting on the hotel refrigerator (it was set to MAX). Let’s give it some time to warm up and maybe clear up while I run some luggage down to the car. Yes, it did in fact clear up. Phew! That’s a relief.
Smell: A fine aroma of caramel malts, with notes of citrus and candied sugar.
Taste: Initial flavor of toasted caramel with just the right amount of sweetness. Notes of juicy lemon. There’s just enough hop bitterness to clear the palate from sip to sip.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Delicate, spritzy carbonation.
Drinkability: A nicely done, well-balanced amber ale. In fact, I’ve found the bulk of the Bell’s line-up from top to bottom to be quite solid.

Sep 22, 2007 Medium orange amber, decent head. Aroma lightly of caramel and a bit of biscuit, some hop floral notes, pleasant. Flavor is a match, just a touch of earthiness on the hops introduces itself as well. Well balanced, quite enjoyable.

Sep 16, 2007 Nice copper color. Malty aroma and flavor, high carbonation and hops don’t balance too well.

Sep 10, 2007 Pours cloudy amber colored with a nice white head. Not much of an aroma, but I did catch a hint of roasted malt. Taste is malty with a hint of caramel. Not bad if you are looking for a mild easy drinking beer.
