(Des Moines) Just went by the Amber moniker, but after reading other reviews, seen to fit here. Copper color with a wispy light tan head. Dry minimal aroma. Sharp bitter/sour flavors. Egad, I'm glad the bartender only gave me a sample of this, otherwise there would have been a trip to the urinal/sink for drainage.

On tap at Rock Bottom Boston, October 2009. Darkish amber colour. Served ice cold so difficult to get much aroma and the fact I was harbouring a mighty thirst meant it didn’t hang around long enough to warm up. Some modest hops in the flavour. Clean and dry. Pleasantly drinkable but unspectacular. A fairly typical American Amber in other words.

A middle-of-the-road amber, but not bad. Amber colored with aroma of toffee, malt, some cabernet. Tastes caramel malty with some coffee dryness at the end.

On tap at the Rock Bottom in KOP. Poured a rich amber with a small tan head. Sweet caramel aroma with even more caramel and some malts in the taste.

Palette: Le corps est moyen avec une texture légèrement huileuse. Faible effervescence en bouche. Légère présence d’houblons en arrière goût. (Rating #1099)
