Coppery brown with rich, malty character-this perfectly brewed amber ale gets its good looks from the dark-roasted crystal malt that we import from England. To give it some Western flair, it is moderately hopped with hops straight from the Yakima Valley in Washington. ABV 5.7% Bitterness 25 IBU. Contract brewed under the brewer name Hopfen Und Malz for Costco by the Gordon Biersch Brewing Company.

Bottle. Translucent coppery pour with a tall, fluffy, beige head. Aroma is caramel, soft spicy hops, nuts, dried fruit and toasted malt. Taste is caramel, spicy hops, citrus fruit, raw nuts, toasted malt, and light toffee. Body is medium with a soft carbonation. Ends with more toasted malt, caramel, light toffee and spicy hops. Average amber ale.

Local bottle. Clear, dark amber pour with a foamy, white head and some lacing. Aroma is metal, green grapes and not much else. Flavour is Yakima hops up front and then more malt in the finish. Average; I’d buy it again for a party.

Tallahassee, Fl - Costco - 12 oz bottle - part of a 24 bottle variety pak for $18.99 - not a bad deal. Light copper pour with a slight bubbly white head. Aroma has some nutty accents, a hint of coffee and some citrus. Flavor has some decent subtle bitterness, some nuttiness, and a hint of citrus. Mouthfeel is clean and smooth. Not bad for the price and my fridge is full of beer for a few weeks!

This should be labeled as "the amber ale with no flavor". I guess that’s better than tasting like a cardboard box, which is what I was expecting. Really not much to this one. The best thing I can say is that it isn’t offensive like the German Lager or Hefeweisen.

Bottle: Pours a clear amber color with a little head. The nose is malty with a vague metallic light huskiness. Light hops show through with a touch of roast underneath. The flavor is creamy and caramelly with a balanced flavor, medium body and all around average everything.
