Clear copper color with a good head and lacing. Cean and crisp with a great malty backbone. Creamy texture and nice finish.

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.

Very clean aroma. A different amber in that it tastes like it has some caramel at the end. Also a little sweeter than most. Pretty decent. Enjoyed all 8 of the CBC beers in the sampler w/ratebeerian thedm from Indiana.

Had on tap at the 4 Queens in Vegas. Poured to a light copper color with medium thick off-white head that hung around through mid-glass and left a little lacing. Aroma and taste were both muted, though they were no doubt affected by the numerous cigars I smoked up to that point. Although nothing great stood out with this beer, Iit was actually nice and smooth, with a decent finish, and one that I might enjoy much more under different circumstances.

Sampled draught at 4 Queens, Las Vegas
Auburn color, sticky head & lacing. Nose of rich malts: crystal and munich. Light floral hoppy presence. Tastes fruity with light hops & a tart finish. Easy drinking beer, better than what I’ve had around LV so far.

Pour a deep amber/brown color. Lightly hoppy and grainy aroma. Fairly sweet. Pruney sweet taste. A little bit of hoppiness.

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