Taste right up front has a nice hoppy bitterness to it (which I love about McNeills beers). This Amber is a bit more on the hop side as opposed to most NE beers, which are way too malty for my liking. ukoolaid (572), Amherst, Massachusetts, USA

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 7, 2003 Pours a golden amber, slightly transparent with a clean, thin, lingering head. Malting floor aroma with some sweet candy malt as well as a thin whisp of hops. Flavours include some piney malt, white grapes and toasted wheat. Grainy palate that has texture but doesn't last. Some interesting things here, but I am not sure if they are working together to make a great beer.
