Commercial Description:
Awarded a Silver Medal in the World Beer Championships in the Amber Ale category for 1998, this is our flagship ale. It has a nutty malt flavor which is balanced by a citris hop flavor and a classic ale fruitiness. We distribute this ale on draft and in bottles throughout Northern & Central New York.

Unremarkable but quite pleasant with barbecue at Blue Smoke in New York. Hazy golden amber, moderate white head. Good balance of malt backbone, lightly bitter American hops, and a floral note. No real complexity or intensity but worked will with the food.

A great name for a beer that lacked complexity and body. A nice golden color with a bread-like aroma but no taste at all.

Bottle. Meeeeeeeeeeeediocre. Malt sweetness and hop bitterness, duh, unexciting. There is a hint of apricot fruitiness, but not enough to really make it interesting

Tap @ old saratoga. Small, off-white head, deep golden brown in color. Not much flavor, not what I expected...disapointed.

Sampled at Real Beer Expo (Rochester). Bottle. Deep golden colour and minimal, off-white head. Candy, sweet nose. Med-low carbonation and med. mouthfeel. Not much flavour until swallowed, then cereal, a little malt (crystal malt).

Muddy amber appearance ; small, off white head; little lacing. Muted aroma of whole grain bread and caramel malts. Bready, sweet malt taste with a hint of oats and a mild hop presence. Lingering, slightly gummy finish that I find too often in amber ales.

This is a pretty good beer. A cloudy dark amber in the glass with a large, off-white, tight head that slowly faded. A robust malt flavor was followed by the hops which were not bitter. Good balance, nice lingering aftertaste.
