jasonp (1446), Sterling/Dulles, Virginia, USA Jul 29, 2005 Pours a deep clear amber with a small off-white head. Aroma of grain and caramel. The flavor is mostly toasted and chocolate malt with notes of caramel and toffee. The finish has some moderate peppery hop bitterness. Medium body with lively carbonation. No lacing left on the glass, not much head retention. Even though there’s nothing special about this brew, I feel it’s malt character has more to offer than most amber ales. Lou18 (1353), West Paterson, New Jersey, USA May 17, 2005 Didnot realize thiswas from river horse. This was a pleasant amber ale. This was a good amber, poured amber, nose had caramel and some nuts. There was sweetness and a bitter finish. tsarman (794), Northern, New Jersey, USA May 17, 2005 This was a really great ale, though not really similar to other "ambers" I have had. Darker color and different in every way. Jersey Represent. QAWSBeerGuy (15), Teaneck, New Jersey, USA Apr 30, 2005 From 12 oz bottle. Small head that had some decent staying power and a touch of lacing. The beer itself is a nice brown. The carbonation lasted longer than I expected. First sip gives a touch of caramel sweetness and a nice bitter flavor, the latter of which lasts nicely into the finish. Good beer and goes at a better price than more expensive ones of its caliber. PorterPounder (2852), Tallahassee, Florida, USA Apr 18, 2005 Pours a light copper with a thin white head, some vegetable notes in the aroma with the patented microbrew malty aroma. Flavor has some ripening vegetable notes with some faint caramel notes. Decent, but fades fast. Thanks to Aurelius for this.
