I thought it was very nice. Hot here in Georgia and it when down smooth. Are there better Ambers??? Sure but this is a good effort on the part of leinie. Nice malt flavor and sweetness to make a thirst quenching summer beer!!!

A light amber pour with a big white head. It has a toasty malt aroma with some mild citrus hops. The taste lightly sweet with some roasted notes toward the finish. It has a light body with lively carbonation and a short finish.

12fl oz bottle poured into a lager glass. Golden amber with two finger creamy white head. Aroma is grassy hops, slight grainy malt. Flavor is light malt, grassy hops. Light-bodied, fizzy. Medium bitter finish. Decent; reminds me of Samuel Adams Boston Lager.

bottle thanks to bhensonb. thanks again bill. poured a "classic amber" with a white head and some decent lacing. do i get points for using the beer name in the appearance? aroma was caramel, grains, and maybe a slight skunkiness. flavor was caramel, grains, and a very slight bitterness with a light-medium body.

Clear golden orange with a firm white head. Sweet malty aroma. Surprising hops in the flavor. A bit of citrus, orange, full malts, and biscuit. Bubbly mouth that works for this one. Great? No. Surprisingly enjoyable? Yes.

12 oz. bottle- Pours amber with a decent head and lacing, aroma is horrible, it smells like a cheap american lager. The flavor isn’t much better, some roasted malt but lacks depth and flavor, a poor attempt at making an already boring style of beer.
