| 1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 2/5 | 2/10 | 2/5 | 2/20 | Nov 30, 2006 From a 12 oz. bottle with no freshness date, in the upper right hand corner of the label are the words "Amber Ale."
Poured a cloudy amber hued golden orange with a fizzy, bubbly head, not very impressive.
Aromas of mineral water, a punch fruity and a subtle sweet caramel.
Poor carbonation for the style, and a softly crisp, watery medium bodied mouthfeel.
Watery, bland tasting, watery caramel, a sickly sweet cheap punch fruitiness, a hidden grassy hoppiness, almost no bitterness, and watery caramel with a hint of chocolate finish.
For me, a very disappointing ale, the drinkability is as low as you can get, will avoid in the future.

A amber colored brew with a nice head. This was a great brew for sitting and chatting about a great trip and all the breweries I have been too. Loved the flavors and the ending finish a good Amber beer.

| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | Jul 25, 2006 Draught sampled at the brewery. Beer was clear, light, bright gold without any head. The aroma was hoppy with a light note of toasted grain and a light miscellaneous note of honey. That’s about it. The flavor was lightly sweet, trace acidic with a short, trace astringent, trace bitter finish chock full of husky, unclean retors. The body was light, the texture was watery and the carbonation was lively. uglyblond1 (174), Nebraska, USA
| 2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 2/10 | 1/5 | 9/20 | May 13, 2006 A sweet light beer, not my style. Like pouring a bottle of Falstaff into a can of Coors, but much sweeter. hopdog (5617), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Oct 31, 2005 When I opened this one, some head caming gushing out of the bottle (although not a full blown gusher). Poured a medium and cloudy golden color with a larger sized head. Aromas of yeast, lemon pledge, and some malts. Tastes of lemons, light honey and citrus. Thin and watery body. jcwattsrugger (5581), Florida and, New Jersey, USA
