Reid (1009), Salem, Oregon, USA Aug 30, 2005 Pours a very crystal clear light brown ale, with orange hints and a nice sized creamy/rocky off white head.
The aroma is strange and subdued like a sickly lager.
The taste also is rather odd,like regular grolsch with some malts added..the bitterness shows at the end, but as this goes on its not quite the disaster I thought ar first..ok.
The mouthfeel seem to be the best aspect of this beer, its rather lush and smooth and with a nice hoppy bitter after taste.
A drinkable brew no doubt..and it was ok IMO, but not one i would reach for with better beers available
Rciesla (1136), Brick City, New Jersey, USA Oct 23, 2008 Bottle. Amber body with 2 finger head. Lightly malty with some hop bitterness. Plain and simple a miss in my eyes. thornecb (1228), Marblehead, Massachusetts, USA Sep 28, 2008 Pours deep amber into a shaker. Fluffy off-white pancake batter head leaves spotty sheets. Stale caramel aromas. Crisp with deep sweet caramel upfront and a dry malty finish. AMN (123), Dublin, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 15, 2008 Nice deep amber color and whitish head. Inoffensive taste; probably a little better than reviews would lead you to believe. JuStuka (162), Edo De Mex, Mexico Sep 1, 2008 Amber color, aroma like caramel, friuts and grains, a little bit watery, but refreshing, not bad. VitaminR (303), Colorado, USA Aug 26, 2008 Nutmeg caramel nose, some slight hop spice.Crystal clear amber color with a frothy head. light malty sweetness, considerable bitterness. Well carbonated, thinner body, slightly astringent mouth feel, nice balanced finish. A very easy drinking beer with better than average bitterness for an Amber Ale.
