Sep 12, 2005 Mildish, fairly hoppy. Good balance. Also at the shanty/tavern in Manitou Springs, Colorado. Good punch with this beer whilst in the table conversation, though maybe not for multi rounds.

Sep 12, 2005 Had this beer late at night after coming home from work and didn’t rate it right away (it was 3:30 in the morning). I do remember it having a heavier malt flavor . Not really so great for me. I really wouldn’t want it again, but then I really am not the biggest fan of Amber beers.

Sep 6, 2005 Draft. Dark amber pour. Sweet caramel aroma and a little light hops. More sweet caramel flavors, and while thin upfront, finishes almost syrupy sweet with a little bitterness. I tasted green apples too, and I am guessing this keg might be infected, or at the least, beyond its prime.

Sep 4, 2005 Well I guess it is an "any-time beer" but not much of an amber. A good hot Summer’s day beer, but nothing to keep in the fridge for a tasteful need.

Aug 20, 2005 Draft, Baja Bean, Staunton VA. Deep amber color with fading head. Very little/subtle on the nose, mostly sweet malt with a little bit of an antiseptic quality, but not in a bad way-- just a perceptible bitter aroma. Very smooth palate, commendably so (almost lager-like). Medium body. Not a lot going on, but what is there is quality-- sweetish caramel malt with a balanced bitterness and crisp finish, pretty much what I want from an amber. Very fresh tasting, which might explain the discrepancy between this and other ratings.

Aug 16, 2005 Pours an amber color with a very thin head that disappears quickly. Aroma is toasty and nutty, no hops apparent. Flavor is just not good. Malt profile seems extremely cheap, loads of corn. Alcohol is a little too aparent for the ABV. Not very enjoyable.

Aug 16, 2005 Nice easy drinker. Nothing really stands out, just a nice balanced beer with moderate hoppiness. Better than the Coors everyone else was drinking.

Jul 28, 2005 Rating #1100.
1100 isn’t such a big milestone, so an average beer will suffice. Slightly hazy amber body, thin/medium off-white head. Sweet, toasty aroma with earthy hops, similar to the pale ale I sampled before this. Sweet, cerealy body with hints of caramel, balanced by earthy hops, a tad watery. Again, a bit of a "hop tea" characteristic. Too similar to the pale ale.
