Commercial Description:
Hurricane Amber Ale is a full flavored beer which clearly has more taste than other domestic and imported light beers while at the same time does not overpower the drinker with heavy body or excessive bitterness.

Bottle: Very dark orange with a 1/4 inch head of soapy foam. Aromatic nose of overripe bananas and fruit. Carries to the flavor with a musty finish.

Not much flavor but very sweet and smooth. Some malt and fruity taste. Not a great beer.

I swear the moment I openned this bottle I had the strong smell of banana and sure enough, the initial flavor is extremely sweet, bordering on fruity, with banana notes. Copper colored body with a whispy white head. If you can get beyond the sweet flavor there is a touch of malt to this beer. The finish is clean and lighter than one might expect. I have never desired a beer flavored with banana but if you have, then this is not bad.

[bottle] Blast of DMS in the aroma--like boiling wort! Past that there’s a moderately fresh US (mostly pine) hops character and mild caramel malt. The beer poured a clear amber and had a thin white head that lasted a while. The flavour was much fruitier than the aroma let on. This was in fairly good balance with the hops and caramel flavours. I found this beer quite drinkable, but a little on the sweet side--could use a touch more bittering. Medium body, medium carbonation.

Bottle. Amber color with a nice head. Hoppy and caramel. Strong malty flavor, not bad, but pretty standard.

"Better the I expected. Poured a light amber color with an okay head good lacing. Aroma was of hops and caramel. FLavor got better as it warmed. Mostly hops and caramel malts. Mouthfeel was thin. Still a good beer."

A very drinkable beer. Flavor grew on me as I drank it. The pour was clear amber with a normal head, but decent lacing. Aroma was hoppy with some caramel malt underneath. The flavor was much of the same with some fruity hints, although the base of the flavor was hops and the sweet caramel-like malts came through more in the aftertaste (normally the other way around). Definitely not an overly sweet beer, but strong caramel, almost artificial tasting, yet drinkable....

Bought this 12oz bottle from Total Wine in McLean, VA. Pours a clear, light copper color with a bubbly white head. Slight fruit in the aroma as well as some pale malts. Smooth taste, with a hint of hops and a decent blend of malt. Finishes off nice and smooth. Kind of reminds me of the District ChopHouse Amber Ale.
