Murphy (1759), Fort Collins, Colorado, USA May 8, 2007 Pours dark brown with a diminishing beige head. Light aroma of fruit, caramel. Taste is toffee, caramel and toasted malts. Might be some diacetyl here. Slight oxidation. Light on the hops, only slightly bitter. Fruity finish.
mtnbrwr (4), , Idaho, USA does not count Sep 27, 2008 This beer is not what it used to be. When I first tasted it, it was much darker, too roasty and not what you think of when you think of an Amber ale. Today it pours a deep amber, almost red color. It has a fine, light tan head that rouses easily. The aroma is balanced, nothing over the top, with some subtle, earthy hop aroma and caramel malt rising when swirled. The flavor is well balanced, not too hoppy, not too malty. I could drink a few of these, and probably will. Overall, this is a very nice beer--highly drinkable without sacrificing flavor or mouthfeel. Good Job! douglas88 (826), Salt Lake City, Utah, USA Aug 25, 2008 Bottle bought in Yellowstone, NP. Pours a dark amber body with a large off-white head. The aroma is full of lots of caramel and some floral hops. The flavor is dominated by a smooth caramel malt, with some bitter hops, and grapefruit. Quite flavorful and somewhat aggressive. Nice. JustinFromAL (68), Birmingham, Alabama, USA Jul 14, 2008 Bottle, pours a reddish brown with a thick frothy foam head. Hop & lemon nose. A little hop bite to the taste that gets stronger with the aftertaste. Some definite acidity. Holdwine (832), Beertimore, Maryland, USA Jun 19, 2008 Hopped up amber, not mellow enough for what I was looking for. Nice crisp nose. Looks good. It hides the malt behind the hops. Decent enough. colts9016 (184), Oklahoma, USA Apr 4, 2008 Pour: A mahogany color with a one finger head.
