Nice amber color with slightly offwhite head. Not much hops present but there is a nice malty sweetness. Very nice and easy drinking beer. It pretty much scratched my itch.

From a bottle. Pours amber with a small white head. Smell was of little malt and some hops. Taste is decent nothing to special, very drinkable. Not one of Flying Dogs best offerings.

Obtained as part of a variety 12 pack. Poured a dark amber color with a quickly dissapearing off white head. Aroma is malty, with only a hint of hops, has sort of a macro aroma is one way to put it. Taste is of caramel and a small hint of hops, not much there, seems to be lacking. Medium bodied, pretty smooth. Probably seems to be pretty good for a session but I would argue there are better candidates than this one.

Bottle: Poured a semi dark amber/brown color. Thick head that slowly disapppears. Last beer of the mix set. Low aroma to it. Slight hop taste to it. Little to no aftertaste.

Good amber coloured body but with a fairly short head. Aroma is caramel and a little grainy and also a touch of hops. Fairly smooth taste, mainly malt, almost medium body and almost excitable.

A good amber lager, find most of the flying dog beers to be average for their style, but this is one of the better ambers available. Nice amber color, pleasant sweet malty aroma, good malt flavor, mild hops.

Pours an easy gokden/amber pour with small white head. Nose of mild hop and malt flavors similar but actually comes across as a descent brew. Quite drinkable almost session like.
