timsilvia32 (91), born in Michigan, North Carolina, USA Jul 16, 2008 Poured reddish with a nice whitish head. Nice sweetish aroma. Good blend of maltiness and hop bite, kind of non-descript, but is very drinkable. This brewery seems to do a consistenly good job with the middle of the road brew styles and making them a little more interesting. 1_2many (124), Ohio, USA Jul 5, 2008 First time rating this style so I can’t compare to others. On tap, reddish amber with an impressive head. Malty aroma with some nose tingling hops in there. Sweet and bitter flavor almost like a backwards Burning River. Very clean mouthfeel and finish. This beer is not overpowering in any area but still has a lot of flavor. BuckeyeBoy (1063), Boise, Idaho, USA Jul 5, 2008 12oz Bottle Pours out a nice amber topped with a cream head. Aroma of malt and a touch of hops. Tast more on the malty side with a light bitterness at the end. A good Vienna ontheroad (25), Buffalo, New York, USA Jul 3, 2008 Nice amber tone and fruity aroma. has a somewhat sharp citrus taste with a smooth finish. BOLTZ7555 (404), Phoenix, Arizona, USA Jun 29, 2008 Bottle acquired via trade with polomagnifico...THANKS RYAN!!! This is a great beer. Of late, Ive noticed that many "amber" beers feel like they have to kick in an overwhelming amount of hops. With Lagunitas Lucky 13, I thought it worked. With Green Flashs Hop Head Red, I didnt. This one is a throw back to the traditional amber we all used to know and love. Red bordering burnt orange in color. Crystal clear, with impressive carbonation and an ivory head that leaves significant lacing inside of the glass. Aroma is toffee, caramel, and a hint of roasted nuts. Flavor is mostly malt, with just enough hops to balance it out. Highly drinkable...clean and refreshing. Wish this was available in AZ!!!
