does not count  Sep 7, 2006 Dull caramel with no hops and little malt to redeem it. I wasn’t disappointed when I had finished the pint.

May 15, 2005 TX Brew Fest. Aroma is a nice malt, and it pours like iced tea with a strawberry syrup within it. Taste is a biting hops and roasted malt. Palate is slippery. Nice effort, but a few tries away from an excellent beer. Keep trying!

Dec 5, 2004 Clean, refreshing. Very impressed with everything from Independence. I tried a lot of what would be called their "smaller" beers, and I thought they were of quality. The amber was no different.

Jul 2, 2004 very clean and simple, what you´d expect of a competent amber. lightly nutty with only a hint of bitterness

Sep 3, 2003 Musty, woody, caramel amber. Bright amber color (surprise surprise). Malty base with a bit of fruit, though slight. Strong carbonation tingling my tongue, mild bitterness, with a long finish in the mid-back of the tongue. A bit of burn seemed to hit my lips--was it really the alcohol?

Aug 18, 2003 Hoppy nose, amber colour. Northwest hops (Cascades) given the style a definite push in the Pale Ale direction. Light-bodied, finishes dry and hoppy. Refreshing on a hot summer day.

May 31, 2003 Part of a sampler. Was a little bitter for an amber. Besides that nothing really going on here.

Apr 5, 2003 Light amber and red with a light hoppiness to the nose. A sweet caramel beer with gentle bitterness. Their best beer.
