I’m not sure it even really counts as an amber; it doesn’t really come across as one. Aroma is faint but has nice citrus without a bitter bite: tangerine specifically is prevalent, mellow, and very enjoyable. Taste is quite a bit more bitter, slightly metallic, watery, with slight lemon, a touch of citrusy hops, little malt balance. Sounds crappy but really isn’t too bad.

| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | Oct 8, 2006 This beer looks more pink than the amber it’s supposed to be. The malts slightly offset the over-hoppyness that is left on my palate. Volgon defended it (he would) I didn’t like it much. LyndaNova (497), Manchester, New Hampshire, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 8, 2006 Cold 12oz bottle: Pours a clear medium orange color with minimal ivory bubbles around the edges of the glass. Aroma is of rich malt, caramel, hops and fruit. Taste is moderately bitter and then sweet with notes of citrus. Crisp, dry finish with hoppy notes. sneagrams3 (1759), St. Louis, Missouri, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 8, 2006 12oz bottle. Filtered and garnet. Clinging off-white head. Musty, soggy bread aroma. Biscuit, honey grainy. Fuller and sweeter than the other two Ambers I had tonight (Great Divide and Anderson Valley) Definitely malt driven. Lively with bitter and dry hops. Caramel malts and a golden honey nutty sweetness. Even though it was fuller it still gets the silver. biznizness (948), Mooresville, North Carolina, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Oct 1, 2006 Um, not that good. Had sort of a sour flavor to it that I really didn’t like. Otherwise, a pretty bland ale that I would not have again. jwdevalue (158), Neptune, New Jersey, USA

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 4, 2006 A really nice amber ale here. Picked a sampler pack and this one didn’t disappoint at all. vyvvy (2068), Hazelwood, Missouri, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Sep 1, 2006 Pours clear amber with a good sized sudsy beige head. The aroma is lightly roasted malt that is clean and lightly spicy with delicate light sweetness. Medium body with standark carbonation. The taste starts off medicinal and metallic with some malt underneath. The finish is sharp and spicy, but still metallic. Not very good. This brewery has been hit and miss for me.
