22 oz. bottle in San Francisco. Light brown, orange color with a light beige head. Aroma was of light malt but mostly of light to medium hoppiness. Malty smell kicked in a bit more as it warmed. Taste is smooth, and mostly quite hoppy but not excessive. A touch of malt flavor but not much. Kind of like a weak IPA, but more drinkable if you can’t handle the high bitter levels. Decent, but I wouldn’t feel like I was missing out if I didn’t come across this beer again.

22 oz. bottle from Plaza Liquor - Pours a clear deep amber color with a one and a half finger thick light tan head. Light lacing. Aroma is light caramel malt and citrus hops. Flavor is mostly citrus hops. The beer is fairly bitter. Could use a little more malt character. Light to medium body. Decent beer.

Dark amber, moderate head with solid lacing and retention. Aroma is caramel, toffee and grapefruity hops. Medium bodied with a velvety mouthfeel, somewhat sweet finish. Enjoyable, I thought this was a weird Red Ale before checking this site.. I feel better now.

A dark amber appearance. The aroma consists of toffee, caramel, and faint citrus showing. The flavor is rather malty with some toffee. A little bit of citrus, lemons and oranges, are in there as well. The finish is slightly sour. Overall it was ok.

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.

22 oz bottle from BevMo LaJolla. Pours a dark crimson amber color with a moderate beige head that leaves a trace of lace as it settles. Aromo is predominantly toasty and caramel malts, with a rather generous side portion of floral and herbal hops. Flavor also skews to the malt side initially, again toasty with a bit of dark fruit, then a lightly citrus and floral hop bite comes on from the middle to the finish. Medium body and gently tickling carbonation. Very drinkable.

Clear copper with a tan head. Spicy herbal hop and caramel malt smell. Smooth mouthfeel. Decent flavors of lightly sweet caramel malt and bready yeast with a nice bitter herbal hop taste to finish. Tastes a lot like FS Amber. Not too bad. 597
