Pours a golden amber color. Smell is smooth and toasty and lightly malty. Taste is the same pretty much, and has a light bitterness with traditional amber like maltiness. Medium bodied and carbonation and a decent, drinkable session beer.

Pours an amber/orange, with almost no head. Aroma is sweet and bready like a donut. Flavor is light, but well balanced. Palate is slick and medium bodied. Overall a very drinkable, albeit uninteresting Amber.

Mass transit has a dark-gold color with a light tan head. It has a slight hop aroma that is dominated by malt. It tastes brittish to me, diacetyl is present and is accentuated by toasty malt (perhaps victory malt?). There is a prominent hop flavor, but it could be stronger. Not very balanced, but drinkable. I would reccomend trying mass transit.

I found this beer rather lacking in taste, palate, and flavor. The light amber color was expected, however, its lightness left me wanting a more robust maltiness. Has a finish that was a bit bitter.

Very subtle minty note, with some nutmeg. Amber, slight haze. Malty, with some tartness. Good body, long finish. Amber is not my favorite style, but this is not bad...

On tap. Poured a light amber color with a thin white head. Light malt aroma, somewhat hard to detect. Sweet malts lead into a nice, fruity (slight citrus and tangerine) middle, and it ends with a biscuity malt taste. Nothing is really outstanding about this beer, it is just a simple beer that is easy to enjoy.

Had this beer on 2/26/1999. Color is a rich brown with good carbonation and a ligth head. Aroma is a light sweet malt scent. Taste is rich and smooth. It starts off the a medium body that goes down smooth with a rich malt flavor. The finish is a malty tang and a mild yet sharp bitterness. Its an all around good drinking beer.

Dark amber color with a foamy off-white head. Malty/caramelly aroma. Decent body that goes down quite smooth. Flavor dominated by bready malt with a slight hint of floral hops present. Nothing spectacular but I’d drink it again.
