Really weak, bland and just overall unimpressive. I throw this down with things like Thunderhead IPA and other crap.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
