Bottle. Yep, it’s amber alright, with a nice full head. Super, super sweet offering with a caramel bottom and a tinny, appley finish. (#3414, 4/11/2008)

From a 12 oz bottle that cost $1.39 at Corti Bros in Sacramento, this poured a nice amber with a nice off-white head and excellent lacing. Nose of caramel malts and light floral hops, medium mouthfeel, and flavor that was slightly sweet, and overall it was very easy to drink.

Drank it at the Firkin Festival in Triple Rock. Pours an amber color. However, it was very watery. The malts were lost...

Bottle from BevMo online. Light amber in color upon pouring. Dry malty aroma with a slightly spicy English hop character. Very bitter English hoppiness. Dry bready malt finish. More like a hoppy ESB than a typical American amber.
