| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 18, 2005 Tocaloma Amber. Dark red amber colour. Aroma is more hops than malt with cedar notes as well. Malty body, hops are not as strong in the flavour as in the aroma. A very nice session beer. A touch of sweetness in the finish. Bockyhorsey (2552), Mesa, Arizona, USA

Head is initially small, frothy, off-white, mostly diminishing.
Body is dark amber.
Aroma is lightly malty (toasted grain, cookie), lightly hoppy (flowers, grapefruit, resin).
Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter.
Finish is lightly sweet, lightly acidic, moderately bitter.
Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation.
Rather run-of-the-mill amber/pale ale with a somewhat faint aroma, but pleasant. Murphy (1759), Fort Collins, Colorado, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jun 4, 2005 Fleeting head, dark amber color. Aroma is nutty and buttery. Malty toasted and nutty taste, bready and slightly doughy. Very sweet, but not quite unbalanced. Hops evident in the finish, as well as Lagunitas house character. Approchable, honest beer. aspidites (1274), manteca, California, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jan 9, 2005 (12 oz bottle: Steele Bear in Petaluma, CA) Amber Ale?? This is the darkest amber ale I think I’ve ever seen, ruddy brown in color, with lots of flaky sediment suspended in the beer. But for all that color, this is only slightly more flavorful than the average amber, though it is a pleasant tasting beer. The flavor is balanced toward the malty end, being bready and toasty, but the hops bitterness is mild to moderate. Medium bodied with a nice full mouthfeel. Sweet, bready nose is pleasant, but only moderately aromatic. The head is light tan in color and pours to a decent size, but fairly quickly fades to a thin film with a thick rim around the glass. Some patchy lacing is left on the glass. Pretty nice, overall. ChillCoat (1029), Concord, California, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 17, 2004 Pours amber with no head. It’s just kindda there- not much really to say about it. Slightly syrupy mounthfeel.
