A pretty good Amber Ale. I could drink a few of these. Not great - but definitely drinkable.

Bottle poured dark amber with no head. Malty aroma. Flavor is malty with light hops. Good medium body, easy drinking with a light bitter hopy finish.

A floral aroma of citrus and hop. And golden honey colored beer with a very thin head that breaks up very easy. Organic flavor of earth and small batch of hop. A good amber ale overall compared to the others out there.

12 oz bottle, no freshness date. Pours out sunset orange red with a fluffy tannish head. Lots of sticky lace.
Aroma is mild, lightly caramel, lightly fruity, light citrus.
Body is thin and watery.
Flavor is slightly sweet, caramel with some spicy, citrusy hops.
Finish is decent, citrusy, leaving the lips tingling a bit.
not to shabby.

Coppery amber/red. Thin off-white head. Light cascadey/caramelly aroma. Pleasant, but light and not complex. Flavor is bright with light hop notes and caramel sweetness. Though its a bit watery and slightly cloying, its a good amber.

12 oz bottle; Whip In Liquors, Austin, Tx. Pours a nice light orangeish copper with a creamy white head and good lacing. Aroma has some good floral notes with a slight citrusy bent. Flavor is bold with mellow citrusy hoppiness. With some roasted nut flavors in the backend. Mouthfeel has some creaminess. Not bad. Overall, color me surprised.

I enjoyed the Mac Frost, and this one was good also. Amber colored, with aroma of Toffee, malt, and spices. Tasted as it smelled, with more caramel and hop presence as it warmed. Solid.

Orange amber ale with a thick white head, with good retention and lacings. Malty aroma with notes of cinnamon hearts and wet dog, which burries the hops. Sweet malt base with pleasant resinous hops. Medoium bodied. Oily mouthfeell. Thanks to Prez. Probably the Pacific Western BC version, so my hats off to them
