Elysian Achilles Amber

On tap at all three Elysian locations over the past few years. Pours an almost perfect amber hue for this kind of brew. Small retentive white head. Aroma is lots and lots of sweet tender malts with a bit of fruits tossed between. Flavor is fairly sweet in the malt factory, while also being quite caramely at the same time. A tiny bit of roast is found towards the finish which ends strongly hoppy, and lingers. Pretty good for an amber.

Tasted at Elysian Fields on 1/3/08 - Great nutty aroma, nice white/tan head with lots of lace. Slight hazy amber color. Nutty and caramel notes. very enjoyable.

draft @ elysian fields - dark amber with very slight tan head; sweet aromas and goes down with a full and smooth texture; very solid amber

Draft at Elysian Fields. Pours medium clear ruby amber with a moussy white head and plenty of lace. Pretty vacant nose and a modest attack, but a surprisingly nice rich earthy leafy resiny mid-palate and finish. Solid effort for an amber.

cloudy, brownish amber with excellent head retention. mild, smooth mouth feel. excellent balance. a mighty yet mild beer.

On tap at Elysian, Seattle. Amber/red colour with lasting beige head. Red berry malt and hop aroma. Smooth in mouth, almost creamy with nicely balanced red berry malt and tingly hop to finish. Never a fan of amber ales, but this is good.
