(bottle) Clear gold with decent white head. Malt aroma. Flavor is sweet malt, somewhat syrupy. No hops to be found. Not much of an amber ale.

Pours clear gold wtih a white pillow head that leaves quickly. Smells different - maybe some wheat, banana and light spice. Mouthfeel is medium with light carbonation. Taste has aspects of the aroma and others - definitely unique. Sweet malt, some banana and sugary. The mix of malt and sugar gives a taste almost like marshmallows. Spicy hop finish. Further down some cinnamon comes into the taste. The sugary taste continues to grow and it starts tasting a bit syrupy. An okay beer, good deal for the price.

From a twelve ounce bottle purchased a "Trader Joe’s" - This one poured a golden liquid with a tall white head of foam and a slight malty aroma. Tastewise, it’s smooth and grainy, but nothing to get too excited about. S good session beer, I guess. -------- it’s clearly stated on the label "Brewed and bottled by Steinhaus Brewing Co., New Ulm, MN".

Bottle from Trader Joe’s, San Diego. Nice golden-amber colour with a small white head. Mild but pleasant aroma, with some caramel sweetness and a citric hop edge. Flavour follows the aroma pretty closely. Strangely, this seems closer to being a pale ale than Fat Weasel Pale Ale. It’s also the better of the two, but still nothing special.

from the bottle. poured more a dark golden than amber wiyh a small white head. aroma a little on the mild side nothing big here, got malt, caramel hint of hops.flavor the caramel came out a little stronger, malts had a hard time finding the hops. as it warmed lost most of the flavor. but as a cold beer not to bad.

12 oz bottle. I was actually pretty surpised. This was not bad. The aroma didn’t give me much clue as to the flavor, but that flavor was decent. Sweet malts and not much hops made it a bit different from any amber I have had. I liked it.

Slight hop flavor with a sort of bland sweet maltiness. Not too bad, really. I could drink a few of these.
