does not count  Nov 6, 2009 A great beer.
Appearance:
Pours amber, off-white creamy head, vanilla, toffee, caramel, malty aroma, roasted cereal. there is some grapefruit somewhere in there.
Taste:
I have to begin by saying the mouth feel is superb, smoooooth. There is bitterness in the mid and more so towards the back. Herbacious, malty caramel. Great structure.
Good stuff.

Oct 21, 2009 A dark amber pour with a nice frothy tan head. Nutty roasted malt aroma. Fairly thin beer for something this dark. Flavor is a mix of toasty malt and light grapefruit pith bitterness and floweriness from the hops. A bit sour as well, but makes it that much smoother. Lingering bitter sting like that of a grapefruit. Almost like a darker English Bitter with American hops. Decent session.

Oct 17, 2009 Definitly roasty and malty. A little bit of hops in the aroma but not much. Brownish color. Smooth and tight.

Oct 17, 2009 Pours a dark amber with a nice off white head. Aroma is of citrus (mainly grapefruit), caramel, pine resin and malt. Tastes very malty, some grapefruit taste. Long bitter after taste that I did not expect. Interesting... But not great and not worth the money.

Oct 5, 2009 12 oz. bottle. Pours an off white head, with nice lacing, over a clear copper (SRM 15) body.....nose is cereal, toffee, bit of floral hop....taste initially light malts then slight toffee sweetness, lastly, large, lingering grapefruit hop bitterness.....mouth feel is medium, carbonation slightly higher than average. No question this is an "American" style of Amber. In many ways it is almost an APA as the malt back bone is so dominated by the hops.

Oct 4, 2009 22oz bottle as Sea Otter Amber Ale. Pours opaque copper with a huge off-white head. Smells more like a well-made APA with Cascade hops and caramel malt. Bitter and grassy hop flavor up front with a bit of caramel malt before a bitter finish.
