Pours a nice hazy orange with a medium head. The aroma is light caramel and plenty of floral hops. The flavor is fruity and hoppy with a distinct orange character. The beer is slightly minerally and largely dry. It’s a pretty standard amber.

12oz bottle. Pours a lightly hazed, particulate filled, orange-amber colored body with a finger-widtch, creamy, tan head that dissipates quickly and leaves a moderate lacing. Aroma is a moderately sweet, caramel malt with a light to moderate amount of flowery, sweet citrus. Some lightly toasted nuts and dried fruit sweetness as well. Flavor is a moderately sweet, caramel maltiness with a moderate citrus, flowery hop, and some toasted nuts. Finishes with a smooth, nutty maltiness with a lemon peel citrus aftertaste that lingers for a moderate duration. Light to medium bodied and very smooth. Overall, a smooth, semi-nutty sweet malty amber with a slightly above average citrusy bitterness. Tasty and very drinkable. Not bad at all.

Not really an amber fan, but this is a half-decent example of the style. Fairly malty, with caramel flavour. Body is creamy and goes down fairly easily.

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.
