12oz bottle. Pours clearish brown with a little bit of orangish tint. Thin white head. Smells of fruit and malt with a little bit of citrus. Tastes of malt and fruit, apricots and peaches. Great tasting amber ale. None of the tinniness that you sometimes find. Thinnish, but coats the mouth lightly. Leaves a nice aftertaste of fruit. Good carbonation but not the most carbonated beer I’ve had.
This was the craft brew that started it all for me. Very drinkable, much more easy drinking than some of the other more aggressive brews.

does not count  Oct 5, 2008 This bottle poured the expected orange-amber color with a sweet, pleasant aroma, but very little head. Straight from the fridge, I found the first sip a little bland and even harsh, but after letting it sit for fifteen minutes, I was pleased with the sweet, malty taste. Drank smooth and finished clean. In all, a solid, satisfying amber.

Sep 30, 2008 Aroma is malty and inviting, with just a touch of sweetness and a hint of fresh bread. Color is clear, orangy-brown-amber; head is fairly thick and persistent, and a nice pale tan. Flavor is crisp and smooth, malty and satisfying, only a teensy bit bitter - not complex, but rather tasty. Texture is smooth and lively.

Sep 20, 2008 Malt aroma with black and chocolate malts? Pours brown. Tastes mainly nutty. A decent amber.

Sep 18, 2008 Flat, watery, sour weak hops, faint raisins, blah. I’ve had worse. Nice pour, decent aroma, there are many better ambers out there.
