Not my favorite type of ale, but this Amber Ale is rather good and enjoyable. You can definitely taste the caramel malt over any other type of malt used, it’s decently carbonated and a good example for the style.

Pours a nice dark amber color with an off white/tan head. Smells of malts and not much hops. Taste is malty and decent. An average amber to me.

Pours a reddish brown with white head. The head is mostly diminishing with excellent lacing. The aroma is kinda sweet, butterscotch, toffee. The taste is light, the body creamy, a little grain/bread taste.

Bottle. Lightly fragrant, not overpowering to the smell. A little malty but has hops to balance it out. Easy on the palate, with undertones of orange and caramel. Enjoyed this but not on my top 10 list.

Has very nice notes of hops and malt interwoven throughout. It does not go overboard and it has the right nuances to be complex. it has a nice lingering finish.

Fresh chewy malt aroma with a thin white head. The nose is quite fresh with a mix of soft spicy hops over sweet chewy, biscuity malt base. There is a kiss of light caramel and a bit of toast as well. Well-balanced and quite fresh-tasting. It’s hard to pinpoint exactly why this beer works, but it’s quite tasty. Creamy palate.

nutty maltiness on the nose. amber pour (Imagine that) with a fair amout of off white head. Sweet raisins and plums with maltiness. Very good mouthfeel. nice palate.

Faint malty aroma with orange and cherry notes. Copper colored with floaties and no head. Grapefruit, cherries, and toffee flavor with a lemon peel finish. Quite hoppy for an amber. Perhaps too bitter in the end.
