Commercial Description:
The caramel & aromatic Munich malts used in this medium-bodied, amber-colored ale gives it a smooth drinkability & sweet, malty finish.

Starting in 2004, the Dells Chief Amber Lager recipe was converted to use ale yeasts, creating this new beer. This Dells Chief Amber Ale permanently replaces the Dells Chief Amber Lager.

On tap at the brewpub on 6/22/07: Clear amber bronze color has a thin, wispy-lacing off-white head. Sweet grainy caramel malty aroma has some toasty notes. Body starts fairly sweet and has some earthy hop flavor, but needs some more balance and has almost a soapy floral off-flavor.

Dark amber color with a small off white head. Again serve near sub-zero temperatures. Very light toffee and mild fruit aromas. Flavors of toffee with peaches and cream. Somewhat interesting, but like most ambers unremarkable. An easy quaff.

Sample at the brewpub. Dark amber. Lightly smoky malt nose. Very sweet: candied apricots, caramel; somewhat syrupy mouthfeel. Good flavors, but overall too sweet and thick.

On tap at the brewpub in Wisconsin Dells, pours a clear light brownish amber with a fast dissolving off-white head. Lacing is average. Aroma of toffee, multi-grain bread, some roasted nuts and brown sugar. Taste is creamy, smooth, no carbonation and texture like a scotch ale. Finish is clean with hardly any aftertaste.

Darker amber color with a thin head. Light grain and malt aroma and taste. Slightly bitter. A pretty good and simple example of an amber, although there really isn’t much here.

On tap at the brewpub/restaurant in the Wisconsin Dells. Light copper pour with a decent sized, off-white head, good lacing. No apparent aroma that I could pick up. Flavor has some traces of caramel, mint, and cotton candy. Mouthfeel is slightly thin. Had much better ambers.

Amber to Brown Coloring with White Ring. Light Grain..Sweet Malt Aroma. Sweet Malt to Begin With...and Quickly Gives Way to Hops and a Buttered Toast Flavor...Drinkable Enough for an Amber.
