Courtesy boboski. Pours a clear copper amber color with a small off white head. Big caramel malty flavor, some hops, cinnamon and sweetness. The taste is definitely hoppy with a huge, caramel malt flavor. with a slight bitterness mostly the way through. There is a little mild tartness to it that came through, which wasnt the best feature of this brew, but wasnt enough to make it bad. Decent.

Pours amber/red with a slight haze. Head is thin and offwhite. Aromas of citrus and malt. Flavor is dry and bitter. Body is medium. An OK brew. Nothing special.

Bottle from Bottle Barn; Nose of caramel, vanilla, and grain; Copper-red with a big beige head, that thickly laces the glass; flavor of caramel, hop bitterness, and light spices; body and falvor kind of watery, finish is bitter. Decent amber but watery and I was hoping for better.

Gorgeous mahogany body topped with a lush head. Fruity hops with bubble gum and punch notes. Little bitterness.

Bottle, Full Sail Brewery, Hood River
Dark hazy amber. Fresh hoppy, woody nose with full-bodied caramel background. Woody, grapefruity notes work alongside caramel and muscovado and blood orange accents. Decent beer.

NOt bad, but not very impressive for a brewery who has proven they can make exciting beers. Aroma is mostly malt, and sweet rather than a roasted character. Some hops in the flavor, as well as medium sweet malt. Thicker than a standard amber, but not so interesting.
