clear amber, frothy beige head, drippy lace,
caramel aroma with light sweetness and a musty earthyness,
lots of bitter flavor, dry caramel tries to balance the bitterness, bitterness comes early and stays late,

Aug 28, 2007 Orange amber with medium head / Faint malt nose / Medium body with hop creaminess and decent finish / Light flavors of orange peel , grapefruit, and roast nuts, with a punchy spun sugar finish / A light but very satisfying summer session beer.

Aug 28, 2007 12 oz. bottle, no freshness date, sampled in a pint glass.
A hazy bright amber appearance, foamy, bubbly topped white head, good retention, small amount of ringed laced sticking.
Light and pleasant smelling, toasted caramel and grainy, flowery citric hops.
Firm medium body, malty crisp and dry finishing. Nice toasted caramel grainy taste, smooth and buttery. The fuggles hops start out citric fruity tasting, then at the end, becoming earthy and spicy.
I like the balance in this amber ale from New Holland, a good mix of toasted malts and fuggles hops. I would like to try this fresh from the tap sometime, another reason for a fall Michigan trip.

Aug 27, 2007 Bottle (12oz) shared with HogTownHarry -- courtesy of swoopjones. Pours a clear copper-amber with an average size diminishing white head. Aroma of caramel malt, a light sourness, some grain and light hops. Sweet, watery, malty flavour with a light bitter finish. Average bodied. I’m not crazy about Ambers to start with but this even more boring then usual.

Aug 22, 2007 Bottle (12oz). Shared with blankboy, via swoopjones. Orange-amber, smallish white head, slightly cloudy. Sweet caramel/orange juice malt aroma, mild generic hop bitterness. Same in taste - slightly harsh bitter aftertaste. Watery, sticky, sweet, ehhhh.

Aug 20, 2007 This was really bad coming after a Bells amber. Way too much carbonation. It reminded me of a Whiskie mixed drink.

Aug 19, 2007 It was your basic amber really. I didn’t find a whole lot to this one. The smell was kind of weak, as was the taste. Obviously a summer beer, but it could be amped up a bit to make it taste a little more non-macro.
