| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Nov 23, 2003 Dark orange body tall off-white head quickly collapsing to a sheet of bubbles. Citrusy aroma backed by some caramel malts and hop spice. Semi-sweet with a moderate bitter finish. Lingering ice tea. Pretty booring, but not offensive. Reid (1092), Salem, Oregon, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Nov 15, 2003 Bought in the 12 oz brown bottle with green tartan label mmm "Scottish Style Amber Ale"?
pours a beautiful amber , crystal clear..unlike others I got a good sized frothy white head on this beer.
Nice malty aroma though not too strong just right for my tatses.
The taste is also very nicelly done a combinatiuon of malty sweetness up front which is taken over by a good hop bitterness at the end..very complimentary.
Feels excellent in the mouth not too smooth yet easy going.
An excellent drinkable beer.
NOTES>... this is my main staple beer..its not to exspensive yet it always satisfies..this is also my camping beer( in cans)...ah i can just see those Cascade Mountain Douglas Firs with my tent underneath as the sun begins to go down..time for a fire and a few Macs!!

Heavy head and lacing. Light body with an understated sweetness and strong hops. No bitterness and a mild finish. Becoming a regular pickup. auto (161), California, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Oct 18, 2003 slight golden taste with a little bit of hoppy flavour to it. the smell is citrusy with a little bit of wood. thank you. Falconseye8 (525), Cartersville, Georgia, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 5, 2003 More bitter than other Ambers I've sampled. Not bad just different. Didn't expect bitter finish. Not bad could definitely work itself into my regular rotation. Braudog (3770), Dayton, Ohio, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 1, 2003 Updated: Jun 5, 2004There were strange flaky sediments in a yellow-orange and thin beer, from the tap at a LV beer fest. Surprisingly florally hopped, this is a decent American Amber. ReRate after visiting the Portland tap house ... the beer here had a better caramel base and texture. kyzr (1123), Belgrade, Montana, USA
