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.

[394-20070702] 355mL (w/ jerc). Wheaty malt and toasted straw yeast aroma with a hint of fruit, apple if anything. Slightly hazy, dark orange body with a long-lasting thin creamy white head. Grainy vegetable alcohol flavour with toasted yeast. Light-medium body. Not impressive, something funky there.

A fairly standard beer, if you’re just looking for something easy to drink. Some sweetness, a little bitter. Like it was said, a good one to sit down and relax with.

Nice foamy head, beer looks great in the glass. Fairly balanced malt and hops as it goes down makes for good drinkability. Nothing too intense with this one but a good one to sit down and relax with. Batch 7989.

Bottle from Rozi’s in Cleveland. Lightly hazy orange amber body with a good size creamy white head (3+). Toasty grains, wheaty notes in aroma carry over to a grainy flavour of sweet toasty malt accented by a wheat like tartness. Average palate. Meh, okay but a bit dull especially for Bells. 6/3+/6/3/12

Thanks to theisti for this bottle. Batch 7813. Amber pour with nice head. Biscuty malts with toffee as well. Creamier amber than I expected. Good cereal flavors with caramel and nice hop balance. Good crisp finish....a fine amber.

I was thrown by the label, unknowingly purchasing it as Big Porch Ale, but it is Amber Ale nonetheless. Batch # 7872. Great summer beer for barbeque’s or enjoying the company of friends. Sweet taste and clean finish. Not my favorite from the Bell’s collection, but glad I tried it.

Orange amber body with massive foamy white head. Very faint head. Watery body with malt flavor and faint hop bite.
