Bottle: Medium amber hue; very thin head. Mouthfeel is smooth and fairly easy to drink; light carbonation. Light sweetness (Boston baked beans, toffee, buttered toast). Healthy hoppy bitterness (grass, flowers, tree sap) with a bit of sourness (grapefruit zing, orange rind). Somewhat bold for the style, but not bad.

The beer has a reddish amber color, tastes caramelized and slightly of hops on the finish. I smell dust on the nose. Flavors are of toffee, malts, and lots of coffee.

Tap at the brewpub in Grand Lake. Pours a light reddish brown with no head. Aroma is sweet and mildly hoppy. More hoppiness in the flavor, with some doughy malts to balance it out. Pretty good.

Had this beer on 6/22/2006. Aroma is rich with a sweet roasted malt scent and fresh hops. Color is a light brown with light carbonation and thin tight head. Taste is full of flavor from malty richness to a fresh happiness. Starting with medium body it goes down with a crisp feel. Finish burst out at you with a roasted malt flavor followed by fresh hops and a nice bitterness. It seems a bit hoppy for an Amber, but I love this beer.

Draught at Falling Rock. Beer is clear, medium/dark red-brown with a small, frothy, beige, mostly diminishing head.

The aroma is malty with a moderate note of toasted grain, light note of biscuit and a trace of caramel; Hoppy with a light/moderate note of resin/pine, light dried apricot; Miscellaneous note of generic fruit.

The flavor is moderate/heavily sweet, lightly bitter, light/moderate acidic with a long, moderately sweet, lightly acidic finish.

The body is light, the texture is watery and the carbonation is lively.

Not very engaging, but not bad.
