Great amber color, but no head. Easy fruity hop aroma and amber malts. This is a fantastic PNW style amber with a perfect hop and malt balance.

Surprise! Honey amberish pour with a small ring of foam. Some toasted caramel and a pretty basic malt background. Dry and bitter in the finish.

On tap at Taphouse Grill. Was called Dry hopped Amber. Poured amber. what a surprise. Nice head and lacing. Aroma of sweet caramel malt and some sweet butter. Flavor is more or less the same with nice forward caramel maltiness, butter, and a pleasant C hop finish. A nice beer.

On tap at the brewpub. Pours amber with a lacy white head. Not a lot in the nose, but I find some nutty malt and citrus. Medium-light body and light carbonation. Caramel taste with a dry citrus/pine/wood finish.

On tap at BB. A bit more hoppy than your standard Amber. Reminds of a poor man’s mac and jacks due to hoppiness and citrus notes. Gorgeous color, weak head. I like my ambers less hoppy than this. Almost closer to a pale ale in my mind. Decent, but not BB’s best offering.
