Commercial Description:
The Amber is a American-style amber ale with bold hop character. The darker malts that are used during the brewing process create the amber color of the beer as well as the caramel sweetness of the flavor. The Amber is named after the Abana family who bottled artesian well water at the turn of the century in Lake County. You can also find this beer at Pine Meadows GC, White Deer Run GC, Thunderhawk GC, Bittersweet GC, and the Libertyville Sports Complex, just to name a few.

Had this one on draught at the brewpub in Libertyville, Illinois. Deep amber pour with a lacy whilte head, mild rosy nose, good hoppiness, finished bitter but pretty alcoholic, not a bad amber.

Sampler at pub. Oh, yeah: amber colored. Light ale foam still there in the glass. Crystal malt smell with some hoppiness, too. A decent standard amber. The hops show just a little grass and pine, but also some basic noble hop bitterness.

On tap at the Mickey Finn Brew Pub. Poured a medium amber color with a small sized off white head. Aromas of caramel, citrus and toasted malts. Tastes of caramel and citrus.

Poured a clear medium caramel with a short white head. Sweet and inviting lightly-toasted caramel in the nose along with some pine hoppage. Sweet caramel again in the flavor with pine and floral accents.. short, tacky finish with decent balance. Almost medium-bodied with a sweet base and moderate bitterness around. Quite nice.
