Hazy orange-amber. Lots of hop in the nose. Hoppy, lightly citric in nature, quite earthy with chocolate. I like these chocolate earth vs. citric hop ambers but there are a lot of them, which detracts from the appeal of any one individual.

Poured a medium to darker amber color with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas of pine, caramel, flowers and a woody-oakiness to it. Tastes of caramel, pine, and wood. Lightly sweet and medium bitterness. Nice hoppy burps.

Hazy amber ale with a small, off-white head. Notes of caramel, toffee, citrus fruit and buttermilk in the nose. Well-hopped flavor. Caramel, chocolate, grapefruit and just a touch vineous. Medium-bodied with a medium-length, crisp finish.

Typical copper golden amber color with a thick tan head and an assertive hop aroma with mild acidity. Bottle refers to it as a "hoppy amber," a title that suits it better than IPA. Body is full, malty and hoppy with great balanced and a crisp, smooth finish. A very good, drinkable session brew.

Caramel and biscuity malts establish a sturdy foundation upon which citrusy and floral hops thrive in balanced and rich quencher of an Amber Ale...

A truly boring beer. Not worthy of the IPA moniker. This one’s mellow and malty with a light bittered perfumey hop taste.

Growler. Deep ruddy amber beer topped by a very thick beige head. Aroma is quite hoppy with lots of herbal noble hops. Light malty sweetness with an earthy bitterness and lots of herbal/woody hop flavour. A little but dusty but it doesn’t have that mustiness that these guys normally have. It’s not bad, but it’s not great either.
