Pours clear light amber with a slightly creamy short lived beige head. Smell is sweet and slightly tart and bitter bready malt. Taste is slightly tangy and toasty bready and sweet malt and tastes like an Oktoberfest, rather than an Amber as listed on the bottle. Moderately bitter finish with a twangy-sweet aftertaste. Medium to thin bodied with medium carbonation. Drinkable but nothing too out of the ordinary. Has a bit of a cheap sweetness to it as it warms up a bit.

Bottle. Copper-amber beer with an off-white head. Low rich malt aroma with a bit of darker malts. Malt flavor with some toastiness and some backing citrus. Medium body. Malt and some bready tones linger with a bit of citrus.

12 oz. bottle from Plaza Liquors - Pours a clear deep copper color with a 3/4 finger thick biege head. Very light lacing. Aroma is sweet toasted malt and floral hops. Flavor is a sweet, dusty caramel malt. Palate borders on cloying. Medium body. A little to sweet for my taste, but worth a try.

<i>Amber Ale #100.</i>Copper color with a thin head. Light caramel aroma. Light caramel and malt flavor. Yeah... pretty much simple.

Pours a transparent deep copper amber with a thin, wispy-lacing off-white head. Aroma of sweet toasty caramel malt and a touch of citrusy hops. Body starts fairly full and syrupy with some finely dissolved carbonation and a sweet, chewy sticky caramel maltiness throughout. Dries only slightly with some bittering hops before the heavy finish. Seems to be laden with too much malt and not enough crisp hop character, which hurts its drinkability.

Pours dark amber with a good sized head. Fair amount of lacings. Aroma is malty, floral hops. Taste is mildly bitter hops and full, sweet roasted malts. Smooth mildly bitter beer. Overall a very substantial Amber Ale. If not for the 6.4% abv I could drink a bunch of these.

Burnt reddish copper color. Small tan head. Nose is biscuits, malt, and seltzer, and actually a little bit of boozey apricots. Mouthfeel is medium and some what honey like. Mid palate is ok and sweet but the after taste is like burnt corn. Meh.
