To understand my bias, be aware that this is my favorite American Amber Ale. It balances malt and hops beautifully, has a very fruity bouquet and is very smooth.

One of my all time favorites. If you like Heiniken, but want to get into a darker beer. This is the one.

I keep coming back to this one. It’s got the hops, but it’s also smooth and well-rounded.

very spicy hopping, medium bodied, dry finish. malt is in the background. more hoppy than most ambers - almost like they spilled just a little IPA in the batch... a rich beer that’s still quite refreshing. summertime favorite - quite good.

Wow, i am very happy with this beer. A great color and intriguing taste that jumps around the mouth. A perfect non-heavy beer.
