BlackDonald (1039), North Carolina, USA Jul 30, 2008 This is pretty standard for am amber ale. Toasty caramel and a hint of dried fruits, some bitter herbal hoppiness. A hint of nuttiness here and there. The finish just ends after you swallow, no lingering flavors at all. skoisirius (480), Seattle, Washington, USA Jul 12, 2008 One of the better in the lineup thus far. Very true amber color, white head. Faint plum aroma...surprising. Slight roast and nut in the flavor while also having a medium caramel note in there. Dies in the finish. For an amber, I’m happy. PhillyBeer2112 (1861), Orange Park, Florida, USA Mar 10, 2007 True amber color. Aroma leans to caramelized malts. Light note of herbal hops. Light roastiness, toasty. Fair. jhumphries69 (523), Tyrone, Georgia, USA Nov 13, 2006 Updated: Mar 13, 2007Pours copper with an off-white head. The aroma has a touch of hops and lots of caramel. The flavor is similar - lots of caramel, some hops. The malts are a little weak in the flavor, and not particularly spicy (like typical american amber ales). The mouthfeel is very light. Not an offensive beer for sure, but not interesting. harlequinn (2746), Tacoma, Washington, USA Jul 28, 2006 A really decent amber ale. A bit on the lighter side, but very true to style and a very nice session beer. Gentle fruit aromas meld very nicely with a semi sweet caramel maltiness. Malty and chewy on the palate, but finishes very clean with just a hint of lingering bitterness. Nice
