| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 19, 2009 Golden amber color with a frothy head. Aroma of caramel and hey with a citrus hop aspect. Flavor has the caramel sweetness of the aroma with a sour citrus component that stays with the finish. hogan873 (325), Joliet, Illinois, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Oct 29, 2009 Deep amber pour with a very thin off-white head. Light, sweet aroma of biscuits and caramel. Medium-thin palate with some fizzy carbonation. Fairly sweet flavor of biscuits and honey. There is a decent hop bite towards the end. This is an okay brew but not very exciting.

| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Oct 19, 2009 Serving: 12 oz. bottle.
Appearance: Clear amber color with a small, foamy,off-white head. Poor head retention and minor specks of lacing left behind.
Aroma: Malty nose with biscuit and cracker notes. Very light.
Flavor: Caramel malt, biscuit notes, and a light back bitterness. Kind of lacks flavor in my mind.
Palate: Medium carbonation with a medium, slightly dry mouthfeel and a medium finish.
Overall: This one really didn’t impress me. Onslow (176), Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Oct 18, 2009 Deep coppery amber with little head. Very low carbonation - maybe a problem wtih the six pack I bought? Nice aroma dominated by malt. Sweet flavor, not much in the finsih. With the low level of carbonation, not great in the palat dept. OK but not great - I may try again to see if this sample was flat or something. chicagodri (1041), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 4, 2009 Had this bottle at a restaurant. Pours cloudy amber with a decent size head. Aroma of caramel malt. There is actually a fair amount of hops used to balance the malt, and I thought it was a decent amber. Fratto (724), Arlington, Texas, USA
| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Sep 15, 2009 Awkward mouth feel, alright taste, ugly pour. Would expect more from a brewer in Hopland. joebudzjoe (224), Connecticut, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Sep 5, 2009 12oz bottle. Amber color. Nice tall white head. Nice lace. Aroma of pale and caramel malts. Aroma of fresh biscuits. Some light hop florals. Flavor is a nice cara malt. More biscuit. Smooth and creamy texture. A lot better than I thought it’d be. A decent hop bitterness finish. Simple and basic which makes for a really good Amber.
