I had never heard of it at that point so I had no preconceived notions. I was very pleased with every aspect - dark brown color, hoppy aroma and taste, great finish and goes well with several foods. I have had it since at Safeco Field - it even went well in a plastic cup (something I try to avoid with any drink). Great beer...one of my favorite ambers. JJClark (545), Roscoe, Illinois, USA

Has a nice rich hazy amber color with a medium off white head. Aroma of herbs, spices and malt with a hint of hops.Taste is smooth and well balanced with a flavor of caramel and floral undertones. Finishes sightly sweet from the maltyness.Very nice beer. I will be drinking more of his. AlabastorJones (765), San Francisco, California, USA

Can’t believe it’s taken me so long to get around to rating it. I can only get it on tap, so this is from (drunken) memory, but I recall a long and recessed hop profile. A lot of nuttiness in the nose and flavor, with some grapefruit hops, which are counter-balanced by some very nice toffee malt. Extremely well balanced....I think I may buy a keg and let it chill in my bathtub. Forget showers.... improvjock (99), Namegata-shi, Ibaraki-ken, Japan

Sweet and carmally with a hint of citrus makes. I always order this beer if it is available and nothing new looks interesting. Treephiend (57), Walla Walla, Washington, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jan 7, 2007 TAP - red cloudy amber, quickly diminishing head, no lacing. Very tasty hoppy, but not bitter at all, pretty sweet with strong hints of spices that I can’t put my finger on. More like a holiday ale in that way I guess... Anyway, superior amber ale a must taste! beer4bfast (6), snoqualmie, Washington, USA does not count | 1.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 1/5 | 4/20 | Dec 31, 2006 makes a point of tasting overly sweet. Better Amber’s finish clean and do not coat your mouth in sugat
