Commercial Description:
Copper in color and big in taste, this robust well-balanced Amber Ale is the perfect yard work companion. Broken Rake's noble hop finish elegantly balances the assertive malt overtones, making it a great way to welcome Autumn.

Hops: Hallertau Hersbrucker

Copper pour with medium sized head. Caramel and nutty notes in the aroma. Flavor reminded me a lot of a brown ale, not too bad.

Pours a nice red/copper colour with an off white head. Aroma is sweet, lots of caramel coming through, some dry leaves, some grain, floral notes some spice and soft fruit coming through as well. Tastes pretty malty, this is defiantly a malt first PNW brew. Soft fruits, caramel, apple, toffee, dried leaves, black pepper, nuttiness, and some musty notes. Sticky on the palate, a little heavy. I do appreciate the balance of hops, balance of sweetness, but this beer is not blowing me away.

Aroma is mainly caramel malt, with some hints of hops. Flavor is very malty, caramel and toffee. Hops come through a bit in the end. Mouthfeel is sticky and clings to the palate. Its an average autumn-type brew, although it may have a better taste when it is fresher.

Amber pour with a small white head. Malty nose. Flavor is malty, lightly sweet and smooth. Not bad, but rather unremarkable.

Bottle from the Co-Op in Davis, CA. Poured an amber color with little to no head. Tasted of carmel malt flavors with little no hops. Very thin on the palate with somewhat of metallic finish. Could have been much better.

bottle, A ruity peach aroma peasent along with some aluinum. Amber body with offf white head. Has some fruity fflavor but that is overpowered by a thicker malt presence. Filling brew don’t think this would be a good yark work beer for me.

Bottle. Poured a clear amber color witha small white head. no lacing on the glass. Aroma is overpowered by yeast and malt. no hop presense whatsoever which is what i look for in a good amber ale. Not much here, a dry, unimpressive aftertaste. over carbonated.

12 oz bottle purchased at Woody’s in Cool Springs. Poured a clear amber/red color with a two finger white head. The aroma wasn’t much. Sweet malt and yeast. The flavor was actually enjoyable. There was a sourness present, along with some caramel and sweet malt. This was an enjoyable brew.
