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.

Bottled. A murky amber beer with a medium orange head. The aroma is sweet malty combined with strong notes of caramel and lesser notes of metal, while the flavor is sweet malty again with strong notes of caramel, but lesser notes of berries. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of Degarth. Hazy, amber golden with tiny impurities and a small, off-white head. Aroma of caramel and overripe fruit. Medium-bodied with lightly sweet caramel and overripe fruit accents. The finish is dry. Classic American Amber. 120108

Cloudy orangey-amber. Woody, vaguely citrusy hops mix with earthy, slightly caramelly malts. Dull character. No bright notes of any kind, just vague malts (maybe caramel) and hops (low bitterness) that merely exist, failing to excite the palate.

12 fl oz bottle. Pours hazy orange with a fully diminished white head. Woody, pine and light fruity hops aroma with a malt base sweetness beneath. Flavour holds a very smooth fruity and slight spiced caramel malt base. Has a mild pine note and a slight wood note towards the finish. Ends medium dry with a caramel malt note. Nice.

Bottled. Hazy orange colour, small white head. Aroma of fruity hops and slight yeasty notes. Flavour is hayish and grassy hops. Same all the way through. Sticky palate.
