Batch 00014! Pale amber color with a foamy off-white head. Aroma of light caramel. Somewhat watery caramel flavor with minimal hop. Quite clean though. Might be a good food beer.

Darker amber colored body with a slightly off white head. The aroma has some light toffee and boiled potatoes. There are also notes of fall leaves. Sweet oranges and some hints of Tootsie Rolls are the main flavors. There are also some notes of toast. A pleasant brew.

Tallahassee, Fl. - Winn DIxie Liquor Store - 12 oz bottle. Pours a light copper with a tight white head, slight glint to it. Sweet aroma, some maple syrup, root beer. Flavor has some candied sugar notes, a hint of caramel, ripening vegetables - reminds me a bit of a low budget marzen. Mouthfeel is slightly bland and gummy. Much better than the Cable Car lager I had a few months back.

The aroma is malty with a tiny bit of toffee and citrus hops. The appearance is almost amber with a small but respectable head on it. The flavor is astringent with a bread like malt. The palate is OK but the finish is not good. The beer is not what an amber should be.

Slightly sweet, lagerish aroma. Clear Vienna colored beer, with a very thin head. Good label, great cap, twistoff longneck. A slightly sweeter version of their lager, maybe a little more metallic/astringent hopping. Pretty crisp finish with caramel popcorn notes. An attempt to pass off contract brewing as microbrewing. Why did I buy a six of this? Winn DIxie, on Special.

12oz bottle on vacation in Orange beach Al - Pours amber with a short tan head. Aromas of caramel with slight citrus and lots of extra frosted flake type flavors. Very average all around and nothing at all to remember.

This amber ale poured with a generous white head and a faint caramel aroma. The flavor is a bit sweet with some caramel taste and little else.

This beer is barely worth worth you time. malts have some burnt characteristics, yet the beer look too light for an amber and the rest feels a bit skunky. Watery palate and no finish.
