Dec 19, 2007 Updated: Feb 7, 2008Draught at Alioto’s, San Francisco (as Alioto’s Private Ale). Amber colour, clear, small head. Perfumy and lightly roasty. Light bodied with clean mouthfeel. Medium bitterness. A drinkable and well balanced beer, perhaps with overly simple malt character.

Dec 17, 2007 Solid pour here lighter amber, copper in colour. small head, almost seemingly no carb. Bites though. Nice smooth hop intro and bitter backdraft. Roasted malts take a reverse effect to the Imperial red and end out a well rounded brew.

Dec 5, 2006 Bottle: Amber color is perfect with a fluffy tanned head and solid lacing. Aroma is of roasted malt, sweetness, and hops. Taste is a rich maltiness, caramel, brown sugars, even a little fruitiness, and some light hops. Not overly hopped, thats for sure, but very solid flavor throughout. I was pleasantly impressed with this amber ale.

Nov 27, 2006 Bottle. Color, amber of course. Head small and whie. Nose is light malts, with just a hint of hops. Mouthfeel clean and crisp. Flavor is carmel and fruit and malts. Finish is dry. Amber is not my personal favorite but this one is a littel above average.

Pellucid amber, caramel, light head and lacing. Nose of light caramel, semi-sweet, missing hps. The flavor is average. Light brown sugar and a bit of maple. The finish is average, balanced is a better word.

Aug 19, 2006 (06.11.06) 12 oz brown bottle from Beeronthewall.com. Poured clear dark brown with small white head. Soft carbonation. Fruity caramel aroma. Medium bodied ale that starts dry with caramel/fruity flavors. Finished dry with light hop bitterness. Well-balanced but with a slight edge toward hop bitterness, this is an excellent drinkable amber ale.
