May 11, 2008 <b>In short: </b>A basic but surprisingly drinkable Amber ale<br />
<b>How: </b>Tap at brewpub<br />
<b>The look: </b>Clear copper body with an off-white ring of foam<br />
<b>In long: </b>Timid nose. Taste is basic but pleasant caramelized malts with some woody notes. As drinkable as it is forgettable. I guess this is as good as one can expect from a one-size-fits-all brewpub Amber Ale considering that the Amber Ale style carries as much prestige as a hobo wardrobe.

Dec 15, 2007 A lightly hazed golden ale with a thin creamy white head. A light hoppy caramel aroma. In mouth, a rather weak pale ale with no malts and too much hops, veering on metallic. On tap at Empire, Nov. 17 2007.

Sep 2, 2007 Empire is bringing this one back from retirement as I had a sample at the New York State Fair today. Fairly average for the style.

Jun 16, 2004 Draught ’02: Dark, filtered amber with a white head. Has some nice caramel and matly notes, balanced by the hop bitterness. Pretty thin body. Enjoyed lots of this back a few years ago, but was not their best.
