Amber-colored, cloudy and unfiltered. Very fruity nose. Nice-looking head and good carbonation. Fruity flavor dominates, with good hop flavor as well.

Aroma of floral hops with a yeasty finish. Poured from tap a dark amber color with proper head. Flavor was of a little citrus and a good amount of floral hops to match the smoked malty background. I prefer my ambers to have a noticable amount of hops in them and this one did the right job.

Decent, but definitely overrated. There’s a wine-like aftertaste that detracts from the initial flavor.

Draught: I was expecting something more like a traditional Amber. I was very suprised. This was a very good beer. It pours a Hazy amber color. A little head to it. More hops in the nose than I expected. Full malty taste, with a lot more hops than I expected. Definitely, not over the top, however. Very good, I'll have another!

Finally, the long-awaited re-rate of African Amber! Cloudy, amber, nice thick head. Complex malt nose - toasty, woody, caramelly, like a really nice multigrain bread. The palate is similar, with toasty up front, lots of earthiness and a pleasurable amount of hop bitterness. Well-made amber.

like the scales of justice perfectly balanced, big malt with subtle hops always present, a tad watery and the finish comes out a bit flat but overall incredie and what a score to find at PDX!
