Little to no smell at all. Clear light brown amber in color. Weak body - very watery. Little to no flavor as well. Overall, bland and watery!

Had at their satalite location at the Four Queens hotel second floor. Light red color almost lager looking from its clarity. Nice flavour slightly sweet as I like the ambers. Very good hop balance.

Clear light amber pour. Smell is faint malt with a hint of hops. Very subtle aroma. Almost NO flavor. Extremely thin, and watery with just a hint of hop bitterness but not flavor. Not a well done amber at all I thought.

Sample glass. Dark amber. Light nose with a hint of vanilla. Good hops for an amber. Toasty nut quality to the flavour.
