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.

Transparent caramel brown with an admirable tan/grey head. Aroma is honey bread, brown sugar and hazelnuts, although it’s fairly reserved. Irish red-like nuttiness and malt complexity. A pleasant surprise and nice deviation from this brewery’s paler beers. Caramel, toffee chews, pumpernickel bread and a mixed bag of nuts round out the flavoring. Well-executed and modest beer.

Tap: transparent amber with decent head. Decent bready caramel aroma. Flavor has lots of caramel, nuts and some peach. Decent amber.

(Tap) Pours amber with little head. Roasted nut and toffee notes. Slightly fruity aftertaste. Creamy mouthfeel and slightly dry finish. One of my favorites from Moosejaw.

On tap at the brewpub. Dark amber in color with a medium-sized white head. Thick lacing. Caramel, juniper, rye and raspberry aroma is rather light. Definite berryness in the flavor, along with more rye, chicory and a fair amount of butterscotch. Medium-high carbonation.

On tap at brewery, sampler flight. Color is semi-clear coppery, with a tan head clinging to the rim of the glass. Mild malty nose. Thick in mouth with caramel and nutty malt flavors. Sweet and rich. Probably the best all-around beer I had at the brewery.

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.

On tap at brewpub. Pours amber with white head. Aroma is malt with caramel and nuts. Flavor is sweet with caramel malts and some nuts. Palate is smooth and creamy for an amber ale. Not to bad.
