does not count  Oct 7, 2004 I loved this beer; I guess to each his own... The smell was wonderful, inviting, provacative. The deep amber color was beautiful. This is what I’ve been looking for in an amber that has a bit more punch then Fat Tire.

does not count Sep 1, 2008 Aroma: fruity and delicious, vaguely autumnal. Brilliant deep amber pour, with a 1/2 inch foamy head. Clean mouthfeel, good whitewatery level of carbonation with a clean finish. Really nice honeyed malt flavors, jacketed in a crisp hoppy note that lingers into the aftertaste. The first one was a bit jarring, as I was expecting a mellow amber, and instead got this very firm flavor, almost like a pumpkin ale. But if you’re prepped for it, it’s a fun ride.

Jun 27, 2008 This is pretty good for a so-called "amber ale," a type which I often find to be bland and subdued. It is red amberwith a big tan head steadily shrinking to a thin top and a hint of lace. The aroma is tasty stewed prunes, bread, hints of caramel, leaves, herbs, and wine. The taste is similar, being zesty, herbal/leafy bread, hint of caramel, fruit, pine, and ginger ale. As with many, it is smooth and drnikable, but it is more tasty, complex, and interesting than many of this ilk and quite satisfying, It also goes pretty well with food.

Oct 10, 2005 Sweet fruit and caramel malt aromas. Good looking red amber with a big head that compresses down to quarter thickness in short order. Sweet fruits int he fore. grape dominates. Then some malt smoothness. Almost marzen like characteristics and every bit as tasty as some of the better marzens.

Aug 30, 2004 Nice dark reddish color with a nice cream colored head. This was a great tasting amber ale. Not my favorite amber ale but a good one nonetheless.
