Terrific ale! Lovely cloudy amber appearance with an average head. Well hopped with a nice bitter finish. Highly recommended!

Nice hop aroma. Good hop flavor balanced by a slight maltiness. A great beer from a great brewery.

Sparkling orange, creamy light tan head. Great nose with hints of toasty caramel, grains, florals, and toffee, with lighter notes of orange peel and chocolate. Flavor is similar with a light floral hoppiness up front, but a near perfect backing of sweet caramel playing out late. Some light fruity tones arrive at room temp. Light to medium bodied, prickly carbonation, dry, bittersweet finish. Tasty and even somewhat complex for a lower ABV ale. Really liked it...

Thin frothy head. Creamy on top. Low carbonation. Nice hoppy aroma. Citrus, caramel and malts. Color is a dark orange/amber. Flavor is smooth and malty with a bit of roasted grains and more hops. Not complex but just very good. Nice long roasted finish. Slight hop bitterness. Very well balanced brew. I really like this stuff!

Poured a reddish copper color with a small bubbly off white head and no real lacing. Aroma is full of floral and citrus hops, quite nice. More bitter hops than malts here, which is a nice change. Enjoyable.

22 OZ bottle: Pours dark orange with a huge head, that breaks down from within leaving only a shell of foam. Be more careful than I was. Wonderful fresh aroma of hops. The taste is much more balanced than the aroma would suggest. Very nice malt backbone. The 'American Amber Ale' style type is a little baffling (or maybe I've only had bad examples). I only wish there was less foam.

On draft. Deep amber/copper, slightly hazy with thin head and lace. Nose of caramel, citrusy/resiny hops, brown sugar and others. Huge caramel malt base with loads of resiny hops, the sweetness balances perfectly making this a damn drinkable brew. Will have to try again for I did not take notes.
