blackmurder (163), sadf, Hawaii, USA May 8, 2008 Really weak, bland and just overall unimpressive. I throw this down with things like Thunderhead IPA and other crap.
carboloader (258), Houston, Texas, USA Jul 3, 2008 Toured the brewery. At first I had no idea that this was an amber. I thought it was a pale ale and then realized the fruit and creaminess. Either way I like it a lot. Light, creamy, with green tea flavor. Bitter finish, nicely complex, yet easy to drink. a10555 (108), West Chester, Ohio, USA Jun 29, 2008 At first taste, I didn’t have a clue what I was drinking, then it hit me...Green Tea with a bit of cream in it. It was okay. not unpleasant but not great either. mpersinger (15), , California, USA Jun 22, 2008 22 oz. bottle: Pours a deep amber color, slightly cloudy, with a modest creamy head. Sour cheery aroma.
Buoyancy from the carbonation
keeps the spicy rum raisin malt and crisp, low-acid hop character poised.
Complex, closer to an effervescent, lighter-bodied abbey ale than a typical amber.
Satisfying dry finish lengthens and dries dramatically as ale warms in glass. Gromit (449), Port Orchard, Washington, USA Jun 17, 2008 Pours a nice amber color with a nice head that left a nice lace. Smells like a typical nice amber, nice roasted malts with a bit of...butter?
Flavor is a bit nutty with some slight hints of dark fruit, with just enough hops to keep it on the crisp side palate wise and has a bit of a mineral feel to it.
Overall, I like this better than just about any organic beer I’ve had (with the notable exception of Fish Tale’s latest offerings), but it’s still a bit flat even for an Amber. duffman462 (155), Bellingham, Washington, USA Jun 13, 2008 Light amber color with a bit of toasty malt and pine-needle hops on the nose. Fairly sweet, but not overly so, with some nutty tones and a bitter finish. Kinda boring, but good.
