Full Sail Amber Ale (USA)

Brewed by Full Sail Brewing Company
Style: Amber Ale
Hood River, Oregon USA

Poured amber with an adequate off white head. Aroma of light chocolate and malt. Flavor is malty with a little hoppiness. Finish is bitter but nice. Very good.

A nice amber body with a half-inch white head. Malty, nutty nose with a touch of toffee and a finish of light hoppiness. Smooth and very easy to drink. The flavor is light and well balanced. A nice balance of malt and subtle hops. Really a very nice session beer that is not too unlike an American-style English bitter.

Pretty good stuff. I expected it to be a slightly darker version of their Pale Ale, but it is more than that; it is fairly thick and rich. A good amber ale.

Sweet and malty with a reddish amber hue. slightly different after taste with a subtle carmel flavor.

This ale initially burst forth into the glass like a nitro charged stout, but the creamy head settled quickly onto a amber beer with coppery highlights. An aroma of citrus and melons greeting the nose. Almost perfectly balanced between malty sweetness & hoppy dryness, it settled on the tongue just to the sweet side, saving a smooth hoppy dryness for the finish.

This wasn't too bad. Nice bitter malty smell with dark red ruby color to match. Tasted fruity, like flowers, with a malt punch.

Color is somewhere between copper and amber. Rich malty aroma. The malts lead on this one of course but the flavor also has a nice underlayer of northwestern hops, cinnamon stick, and even some peat. The prototype amber in my book.

Pretty, pretty beer, with a deep coppery brown color and a good looking, long lasting head. Aroma is faint, very slightly nutty, a bit of caramel. Flavor more hoppy than expected, but still definite malt emphasis, caramel, hazelnut, dark fruits. A good example where the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. Quaffable, never would have guessed 6%. Thanks acrodizer!
