Pours a clear bubbly amber with a large off-white head. Sweet malty aroma with a touch of hops and for some reason, soap. Fairly mild and generic ’Amber Ale’ flavour of caramel malt, grain and some herbal hops. Light to medium bodied. It’s decent and drinkable just nothing special.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jan 7, 2006 Bottle (12oz). Shared with blankboy and tupalev, my bottle. Poured clear reddish-amber with a large pancake batter head. Aroma of dry resiny hops, sweet, faintly piney, light roast malt, with an odd floral soap character. Taste was grains, stale hops and a very little bit of chocolate-toffee malt and a whisper of apple. Creamy, astringent, somewhat flat mouthfeel. Not bad, pretty standard if grainy amber. tupalev (2618), Waterloo, Ontario, Canada

How do you follow up the Sam Adams triple Bock? With something completely different! Dark brown, small white head. Subtle soap, malt, and slight hop aroma. Much hoppier taste than I expected from the aroma. Nice and bitter with some malt sweetness - what I am beginning to term and recognize as an American Amber. Decent and quaffable. argo0 (6978), Washington DC, USA

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 9, 2005 bottle. pours a deep brown-copper body with a large frothy off-white head. the aroma has pleasant toasted malt with only the slightest hint of soapy hops in the back. pretty good flavour though it could probably be a bit more - there is a solid caramel malt spine with fresh astringent hop flavours. the finish is a bit rough around the edges though. pretty good DocLock (4648), Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 14, 2005 Bottle from the Beer Yard. Poured dark brown/blackish (great ruby color through light), with 2-finger, creamy off-white head. Aroma fo corn flakey malt, some almonds, cinnamon, brown sugar, and dark chocolate. The palate was medium in heft and notably complex. This is one of my favorite examples of a fairly bland and boring style. This one is very good! ABUSEDGOAT (1934), California, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 29, 2005 Amber body with a nice head. Another of their beers has a big butterscoth aroma. Flavor has some caramel as well. Bitter finish. Enjoyable amber ale I guess. PWalk (337), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
