Draft at the Mariners game. Aroma is caramel, nice maltiness to it. Taste has a nice hoppiness to it, with plenty of maltiness, caramel, light nuttiness.

Densely clouded amber appearance. Rich toffee, caramel nose. Toffee/caramel palate, mild and subtly balanced. Rich flavor, smooth delivery, with mild fruity hop citrus. Expected it to be a let down after all the hype but it holds its own.

Draft, SEATAC airport. Amber-copper and small head. Aroma is faint apple and herbs. Fruity, slight malt, and bitter herb hop tastes are well balanced. Palate is light-medium and dryish on the finish.

Pours a hazy brown with a large creamy white head. Great lacing. Aroma of citrus hops, oranges and grapefruit. Nice spiciness there as well, I’m thinking cinnamon. Flavors are very similar. The orange is bit more prevelant. Malts come out a touch more along with the hops. Very nice indeed. The palate is smooth and spicy. I like it. Finish of alcohol laced bitterness.

Draft. Cloudy amber-chestnut color with a small white head that left nice lacing. Mild aroma of fine tea, light malts and citrus with a spicy sweetness. Sweet flavor with a full-mouth bitter bite, cinnamon and allspice with a lingering astringent finish on the back of the tongue. Full body, mild carbonation. Nice treat!

A very solid amber. Quite appealing. Lots of hops and fruity flavor, never tasted an amber quite like this. A quality brew.

Very tasty amber ale. Pours dark orange with a nice whitish head. Taste runs rampant with citrus, caramel, malt, and tasty hops. Easily one of my favorite amber ales.
