slimchill (694), Austin, Texas, USA Jan 23, 2008 Draught. Nose is sweet grains with a strong cherry presence. Bright red. Fruit up front into a lightly hoppy middle wth a sweet finish hinting at raspberries. Palate is dry and a touch sharp. churchill00 (145), Austin, Texas, USA Apr 5, 2007 I had this right after the Hop Gold, and I really didn’t notice a huge difference. A wallflower; this really could be mistaken as something more generic--not a house brew. My buddy was drinking this and we compared the two side by side, and they were nearly the same color with similar aromas, but this had a weaker hop texture. Pretty watery, a bit bitter, with a medium dry finish. [Shrug] Walt (2291), Chicago, Illinois, USA Nov 17, 2005 DewBrewer and I must’ve been drinking different beers...pour is reddish amber with a big dense tan head...the smell was sweet with a nice citrus hoppiness to it...taste is sweet initially, turning mouth souring astringent chemical...slightly bitter...I don’t know if maybe they hooked up a new keg to a different line and the line had some chemicals in it still (impossible though it may be) or what, but I just think something was wrong... DewBrewer (249), Austin, Texas, USA Aug 8, 2005 On draught. This is a good example of an American Amber. It is very clean with a medium level of hops and some nice malt to go along. Good beer.
