Jul 31, 2007 (Bottle) Pours a light copper color with an average looking head with nice lacing. Average palate, with rather strong carbonation. Aroma is nothing special, just some caramel malty notes. Taste is a tad more interesting, with some light spice and little bit of astringency. Finish was a little too sweet and unfulfilling.

Jul 27, 2007 Gold, slightly cloudy pour. Bright white medium lasting head. Smell is a very slight touch of lager yeastiness, but mostly of fruity hops. Taste is very bland, watery, and a lightly flavored hop finish. Nothing tasted bad, but it was easily one of the blandest beers I’ve ever had. If you’re at Trader Joes and want to pick up a beer their, I’d recommend the Fat Weasel Pale ale over this one.

Jul 6, 2007 Sort of a light spicy, citrus aroma. Golden color like a lager, with a frothy white head that almost laces. The spice becomes definitely noticeable as the glass approaches the lips. Thin. Fizzy. Nice floral notes, something of breadiness, and a bitter that is mild but florally attractive. Not really all that citrusy, but the spice notes appear in the finish. It is rather light, especially for an amber, but it is rather tasty.

Jun 29, 2007 12oz bottle acquired in trade with ughsmash (thanks!). Poured a medium and clear golden/amber color with a larger sized off white head. Aromas of spiciness, citrus, and biscuity. Tastes of the same. Thinner body. Boring.

Jun 20, 2007 This pours straw yellow-- nothing amber about it. Stale biscuity aroma. Semi-sweet, oddly medicinal quality to the palate. What is this trying to be? If this honestly is trying to be an amber ale, here’s a hint: try a little crystal malt maybe! WTF? Just weird really.

Jun 10, 2007 Another beer form Trader Joe’s. Slight hop aroma. Clean malt profile with a lager like finish. Decent cheap ale to drink in the summer.

Jun 8, 2007 The aroma was estery and fruity with a strong presence of candy and caramel. Lightly spicy and grassy with a bit of a citrus note to boot. In the glass the beer was golden (nothing amber about it) with a white and low, yet persistent and tight bubbled head which lasted well to lace the glass. The flavor was nice with a light caramel sweetness and a decent level of citrusy and grassy bittering to keep the malt in check. The balance was very good and made for a nice flavor combination. The finish was dry with lasting impressions of fruit and hops into the aftertaste and beyond. The body was medium with a moderate level of carbonation and a creamy texture. A nice, somewhat fruity, ale with enough to keep me interested. At TJ pricing this one might have to see the fridge more often. 12 ounce bottle. The picture is correct, but the beer says it was made by Steinhaus Brewing Co in New Ulm, MN.
